man. things just don't add up. if prince was on a high dose of Percocet, to the point of dependence, how was he doing hours long shows without at least slurring? the man was on point. I don't get it.

It's not uncommon for people who are dependent on painkillers to be on point as long as the drugs are on board. Many times its when the drugs begin to leave the system that physical and personality changes begin to take place.

but i mean, i'm familiar with percocet. i take it a lot - currently 50-75% of the time. i take the smallest dose possible to alleviate pain and still function, but commensurate with the pain level, and it sounded like his pain level was high. shit, if you take enough to cause respiratory failure, seems like there would definitely be some signs.

.

.

you know what i mean? he was clear and focused. unless he was a master class in controlling his dosage, which he didn't seem to be, i feel like there would have been some evidence. and we really didn't see any. not one interview; not one performance.

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.

None of us knows what the real truth is, and even if Prince did say it was "the flu" doesn't mean that that's what it really was. How many celebs have lied to the public, only later you find out what was said about them was true? Do you honestly think that celebs don't lie to their fans? Celebs lives consist of smoke and mirrors and the image they want to put out there. I don't care who the celeb is, you can't be that gulliable to believe everything they say as truth?

.

He had no incentive to lie at that point. What was his motive? This was several days before the Atlanta shows were even postponed.

I hope this is not in poor taste, but...

I just watched a news clip on Yahoo where a female reporter ended the insert by saying something along the lines of, "Many people are asking the question why didn't Prince seek treatment from specialists when some of the top clinics of the country were right there in Minneapolis.".

And, I just had to laugh at it, "Because he was Prince, dumbasses." Most people just didn't know him like us fans. We really don't find it that surprising that he'd not seek help in time. There's something strangely "comforting" about still being able to "know him better than most" even if he's dead.

IF it was a lie, IF, that could've easily been his rep's lie.

Which is why I believe Prince was in complete control of his departure.

Once again, I know I will take a lot of hate and side glances with this.

And oddly, it gives me great peace to believe he was. It would just be a true act of Prince in my mind to leave this world on his terms.

i'm still going back to the atlanta shows. there was no evidence that he was:

.

a) in pain

b) agitated

c) actually on percocet - i.e., slurring, drinking a lot of water

.

in fact, my friend's friend who was at the final performance (second show of the night) said he didn't drink water at all during the show. his tongue would have been stuck to the roof of his mouth if he had taken some. and if he was dependent, he would've been short tempered and agitated, not warm, open and embracing the audience.

.

i'm just saying, something doesn't add up. i'm not a conspiracy theorist, and it's quite possible that his pain flared up after the show and he doubled up on his dose to try to compensate. no food and a small frame and that shit'll fuck you up.

.

but addiction, i'm not buying. we've seen addicted stars. we know what that looks like (whitney, michael, hell, alexander o'neal sweating profusely). there weren't obvious signs here.

You think Prince's chose to die in an elevator?

I do. It leads back to his music. Let's Go Crazy. And also April 21st? Give me one coincidence and I shrug, but two in a row... then I begin to ponder. That with his statement of save your prayers... that's 3 out of the ball park. I think he was sick, saw the end coming, and made his way out, with tons of mystery. It just all seems so planned.

Kirk Johnson, told investigators that Prince had also been hospitalized in either 2014 or 2015 and had to be treated with fluids, according to the warrant.

Prince had seen a Minneapolis-area doctor on the day before he died, and that doctor was at Prince's Paisley Park compound to deliver test results on the morning Prince was found dead, according to court records obtained by the Los Angeles Times.

I just read the article. Can't wait to get all this speculation, etc. over with. Reading the comments under that article made me sick.

i won't deny that you make a compelling case. but suicide is absolutely against the tenets of jw and basically all the abrahamic faiths, and some other faiths, too. even if he was moving a bit from a strict jw religion, its hard to imagine that he moved so far away as to take his own life. he also seemed to have plans, for the tour, the new instruments, the book.

i agree that the coincidences are mind blowing, and the elevator...what are the odds that THAT was the place he dropped or lost consciousness?



still...hard to reconcile suicide with the religious view he has had for 15 years, and even before that (7th day adventist).

my head hurts.....

"do i have a friend tonight?" --prince at his last concert in atlanta

While I'm glad that he saw a "real" Dr it seems. Unfortunately he sucked.

Thanks for the update. I noticed that the doctor no longer works there. Did you guys read the warrant?

Nah, Prince compared the elevator to the devil. Why would he choose to take his last breath enclosed by an elevator/devil?

The Associated Press is reporting May 10th 6:31 EDT that a Minnesota doctor treated Prince and prescribed him medicine.
