I don't think his brother-in-law meant that literally - it's an expression. I'm sure Prince slept.

In any event, we know he didn't work 154 hours straight considering he was chilling at the Dakota two nights before he died.

medically thats impossible...he may have given that impression. Even still its likely he took mini naps or micro sleeps during the day/night in order to work so long hours.

My hunch is that Prince probably over worked himself and he passed away from exhaustion and flu he was recovering from.

I saw this earlier today elsewhere. Here we go with the first of the 'in-law' crap.

Dignity and decorum, who needs that when you can get the gutter press to give you money for nothing? SMH. neutral

I really hope this story isn't true.It's sad to think that he killed himself from working too hard.

I read that story and saw pics of his brother-in-law smiling and greeting fans outside of Paisley Park like he was running for office. I could be dead wrong, but he came off like a sleazeball!

Let's hope you're dead wrong because if you're right, the future doesn't look bright. But then again, let's give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he was just happy that all these people showed up.

His brother in law has said that he was misquoted regarding the 154 hours straight. In this article : http://www.startribune.co...377060521/
