They are a National Enquirer "re-creation" of Prince's death. Words fail me!

If you look at a larger photo... A) the fro is more of a curly perm a la Purple Rain and not as kinky as Prince's. B) the person is wearing jeans with ripped knees. Prince didn't even allow his staffers to wear jeans, to my understanding. C) the skin of this actor is darker. I know it's b&w, but you can still see it. D) it's the National Enquirer. I didn't even have to bring up the prior points. Aaaaaaand it says on the bottom in fine print "photo re-creation." Slam dunk. They aren't even trying to pass them off as real.

I'm from Norway and doesn't know this magazine..... I was really shocked and thought this couldnt be possible - have they no respect???? But I understand from all the comments that this is not for real....

How can the punk who posed for those photos live with himself. I hope he's enjoying his $20.

I don't know about you all but I have been extremely hesitant to believe ANYTHING that the media says regarding Prince and how his death. Even this story with the Dr, and how he was going to rehab the next day? I just don't know. Someting about it sounds wrong to me. I'm not even convinced he had a pain killer addiction. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this story isn't correct either...

There's a part of me that thinks that there was some other illness going on with Prince. Of course the Rx dependence is very plausible given that he lived with chronic pain.

Besides the chronic pain I do believe he was sick with some other illness.

On May 7 at 12:55 a.m., The Minneapolis Star Tribune is reporting that Prince was seeing a physician for opioid withdrawal.

This article answers a lot of the questions that I had and it makes a lot of sense.

This so confusing. So a local MD saw him Weds nite at PP and said he was stable, so what was the Walgreens visit all about? None of this makes sense.

Who's to say that he was at Walgreens to buy a Rx? I go to Walgreens several times a week because it's close to my house, but the majority of the time, it's to buy items other than a Rx.

Serious but stable conditon is what they say about someome recovering in a hospital...Not trying to assume anything however, it seems to be neglignce all around

We don't have all of the info. The doctor who saw Prince the night before he died may have recommended that Prince go to the hospital and Prince could have refused. We simply do know that yet.

Looks like a girl to me and a no dressing girl at that

The Associated Press has reported an article on Andrew Kornfeld, the person who had the wherewithal to call 911 for Prince.

No it's not, it states that it is an re-enactment, but it's disturbing none the less.

Rx?

RX = prescription

Yes it is called "the flu". He supposedly tweeted that he was sick with the flu before the ATL shows were even postponed so no reason for him to make that up.

Come on y'all.

It was always obvious Prince was high as a kite. Look at his idols (Jimmy and Jimi and the rest). Nobody plays guitar like that - not even Macca unless they're having a little help.

But it's not a bad thing. As Bill Hicks says ...

Never said he made it up.

Personally I think this punishing schedule laid the foundation for prince's immune system to be in bad shape. Have you ever flown long haul? Feel like sh*t the other end, neer mind crossing the date line twice. And he's playing a bunch of gigs at either end:

16th Feb - Melbourne 2 shows

17th Feb - Melbourne 2 shows

20th Feb - Syd 2 shows

21st Feb - Syd 2 shows

24th Feb - Auckland 2 shows

25th Feb - Perth

28th Feb - Oakland

Add this with the fact that the media are for people around 165 lbs. I mean even a normal prescription could be a 65 percent overdose, but when the media uses that word people hear "addict" which isn't necessarily the case. His flu went on too long and those scrips aren't good together Okay?!? I don't even want to get into why he had a valid percocet prescription for hip pain when he could have had the surgery in 2010. That's when I get mad and start blaming people.

This is a ridiculously oversimplified view of the pharmacodynamics of any drug. There are so many factors besides weight (age, gender, race, concomitant use of other drugs, tolerance to other drugs, level of physical activity, sodium levels, water intake, genetic phenotype, stress, disorders such as malabsorption syndrome, previous surgeries) that can potentialy impact the absorption, bioavailability, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of a drug in the human body. Just an FYI, people who are overweight or obese present just as much of a dosing challenge as cachectic patients because their organs are often impared.
