UNless that persson was with him and awake for those 6 days, how do they know he had no sleep? Yes, he may well have had very little sleep but 6 days with no sleep sounds like nonsense.

Yeah I've been thinking about this. Is this even humanly possible?

It's possible in your 20s when you have a coke habit. For somebody in their 50s pulling stunts like that would be pretty hazardous to their health.

Worry is if this is what family he's got left. And they are coming out with those kind of comments, how are they going to handle his estate,

Definitely - I have real concerns about the future of Paisley Park and his legacy. I can't believe Prince would have left everything so vulnerable..his family aren't geared up to take over the 'business'.

I hope they have good advisers. Someone like Sheila, Alan Leeds or Wendy should have been given some control...I hope they have input now but I can't see it.

The purple ship has lost its rudder. I hope it's not going to run aground and lose its precious cargo.

wow that family member couldnt wait to tell something

I posted this same article and the mods removed the thread.

Wow, what Susan Rogers says, confirms his non-stop working habit :

"Working for him in 1983 was "my dream come true, his capacity for work was prolific. They could be in the studio for 24 to 48 hours at a time, even 96 hours on one memorable occasion."

In what world is "prince staying up for days" news to us?

If it's what killed him so be it, but it's how he's worked for years. That is the prince we loved.

My thoughts too.

I think they mentioned it to someone in the inner circle and they repeated it.Keep in mind until that report comes out the press will dig and dig as always.

How sure are we that this was not just an off-the-cuff exageration about his work ethic? The actual quote i saw was extremely small and talked in hours... 154 hours. Couldn't it have just been to stress the point of how hard a worker he was?

What was he working on ? We might end up with the last album he was planning to be released !

It will be a long time till anything is officaially released imo, the battle has just begun over his estate, once that ends, and the dust settles, and everyone comes to their senses, then and only then will the dialogue start regarding what, and how, things get released.

His brother in law say he was misquoted regarding the period with no sleep : http://www.startribune.co...377060521/
