"Now"? They've been flogging this almost since the moment he died.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

I read the first AIDS related articles in 1990 when he looked very skinny duering the nude tour.

I am sorry but if you are dyingof AIDS you are not performing 90 minute concerts. PERIOD.

It's going front-page on this week's National Enquirer.

I can't believe that if he was HIV+, he wouldn't take the appropriate medication to prolong his life and stave off AIDS.

There's no reason these days for anybody with HIV not to live a long life.

I had never heard of Blind Gossip before this story. What a horrible site.

I had never heard of them either, someone called me and told me and I said, "Hell no" because there were pages of comments-- people guessing Prince. I don't know what to think. sad I hope it's not true for his sake, because that would be a painful thing to deal with alone and I don't think he would have had many people he would want to disclose that to--- but I don't know. I've never mentioned it because it sounds gossipy but they did post this three days before his death. I guess we'll see. sad

I was shocked when I read the blind item, not thinking it would be Prince. If it is true that he stopped taking his medication thinking "God can cure him" even more tragic. confused

If it truly was the case, he could have handled it better like Magic Johnson has been doing and had been an advocate for HIV prevention.

I'm calling a "BS Guess"

If that site had guessed that before the jet landed in Illonios, maybe....

They guessed on the 18th...after news of the initial cancellation of the ATL shows.

You add some lie with some semi-truth... They just knew that he was ill... That's all they know.. They are throwing darts at a large bullseye.

They are quoting the Enquirer...

I'm sure that he would've tried to "pray-it-away" years earlier...

It makes more sense now that he probably succumbed to AIDS-related pneumonia. To think, that if he had come out about contracting HIV years ago, and talked about it openly and not be ashamed of his HIV infection, in this day and age, it is not a death sentence with all the advancement in HIV research and treatment.

If it was the case, it wouldn't change anything I feel about Prince other than I would feel bad that he had to carry the secret around.

There seems to be a conflict in one story where Prince has AIDs in secret and has been convinced to stop taking medication because of religion etc. and another story where Prince was apparently overmedicating and overdosed. Was his death caused by not taking medicine or taking too much medicine, the gossip hounds want to have it both ways?

If the death was not drug related, if toxicology doesn't indicate an overdose, would it even be legal to disclose that Prince had AIDs? Wouldn't the ruling be natural causes unless something unusual like a drug overdose?

In which case, unless someone leaks a medical record we would never know. It doesn't matter anyway.

AIDS seems to be the first thing that the Enquirer comes up with before they have any facts.

If it were true, wouldn´t his ex-partners have caught the virus, too?

And...why would the Jehovah´s Witnesses be against medication? That does not make any sense to me. If he was taking his medicine "religiously" , as they say, and he was already a Jehovah´s Witness, then why would the JWs make him stop taking his medication now? This sounds like they´re just trying to make the JWs look bad. He´s been associated with the JW for a decade now, why would they be against medication now?

That BlindGossip website is really cruel. All those people guessing who the person might be and when he might die.

Whatever the truth is, I don´t think it makes any difference what he died of. It won´t change anything.

From what I gathered, if it is true, he stopped taking his medication a couple of years ago, thinking he was "cured" and his HIV had become full-blown AIDS in recent months. sad

One of my best friends caught the Pneumonia and died....just like Prince. He caught the flu, and then Pneumonia set-in while he was working on a book everynight--without rest.

The Pneumonia weakened his heart---because the lungs cannot transfer oxygen to the blood in his heart... He was released, and began to do some of the same work as before, then he had a stroke... Then, his cousins drove him to a local store, and he collapsed up agianst the door at this store..

No HIV to my knowledge.

The germs here are real, and people are traveling all over this world. Zika, Ebola.... This is not the same flu as in the past..

Go to any hospital...I has several relatives who were stricken with it and died, or nearly died.

Yeah, if Prince knew his health was deteriorating, he should have checked himself to the hospital. Life is short. I know Prince can be stubborn and wanted to deal with his illness his way but at the rate he was working, it weakened him and ultimately, killed him. sad

I hope this is not true, for one simple reason: it could have been easily avoided.

Also, can someone just about to di from AIDS play two shows a few days earlier? And wouldn't the post-mortem have confirmed it? And his friends? What would be the point of hiding it now?
