Prince's reply to Elisa Fiorillo's tweet to him after plane incident

this is from the Las Vegas Review Journal article by Dave Hererra

“I said, ‘Are you OK? I’m worried about you,’ ” recalls Las Vegas resident Fiorillo, who recorded with Prince and sang backing vocals in his band for a number of years. “And he wrote me back, ‘Perfect. Save your prayers. Controversy.’ "

Prince’s response troubled Fiorillo, and so she wrote back. “I said, ‘I’m a mother. I care about you. You need to be eating, and you need to sleep — you never sleep. Please rest. I’m sorry if I sound like your mother, but I’m telling you.’ And he didn’t write back, and that was Friday.”

"You always get the dream that you deserve, from what you value the most" -Prince 2013

Love Elisa caring advice. See how she says you need to sleep... There have been so many stories about his sleep/resting so little. Personally I think his brain was so eclectic(genius) that his heart finally couldn't keep up with his brain. sad

I really hope he was taken out by something beyond his control. It's going to be even more upsetting if he took too many pills or overworked himself to death. He was unconscious and in the hospital just a few days earlier, so he really should have taken care of himself better.

But this is just me being angry that he is gone and being angry at him for leaving us. I know it can't be any different than the way it is.

My thoughts exactly. Geniuses cannot sleep as much we mortals do, because they are just too creative. Such a great talent is both a blessing and a curse.

Yes, but that "I'm a mother" is annoying. It's as if she's treating him like a child. If somebody said that to me, I wouldn't like it. These are two adults talking to each other, her children have nothing to do with this.

Personally, I don't think she meant to be disrespectful or treat him as a child. And please know I'm not saying your opinion is wrong either, but I'm just offering my way of seeing it. From the way I look at it, I just think she was expressing her concern. I'm a mom myself and I always find myself being a bit maternal to others that I really care for. Sometimes when you truly care about someone, you just want to suggest to them what you think they might need, somewhat be protective and nurturing, as you would your own children, whether that person is young or old. Again, not trying to say you are wrong with your thoughts, but just offering a different point of view.
