Kirk Johnson

Have we heard from Kirk Johnson, yet? AFAIK, he was still working at Paisley daily...

I would imagine, to a certain extent, that those really and truly close to Prince would have been interviewed by police/detectives and perhaps even told to keep quiet.

I'm sure he's grieving - he was with him for something like 30 years, right?

This is not looking good for him. I hope that that "Dr. Kirk" comment doesnt confirm our worst fears.

Yep. All 3 Game Boyz were in Purple Rain. Even Wally and Brooks.

I've been wondering about Kirky.

.

His LinkedIn profile says "Paisley Park Studios Estate Manager"...

"He's a musician's musician..."

I'm wondering too, because he was also 'the trainer' as well....and he'd have a significant amount of input in Princes health and maintenance.

I'd like to add that making up words is totally valid. All those words in the dictionary were made up words at one point.

I understand that in Prince's last public appearance (which was after the emergency landing) at Paisley he thanked "Doctor" Kirk.

Did I get that wrong?

Well that's nice. Makes sense becuase I think Kirk is the one that helped carry him off the plane.

At the appearance on Saturday Prince said that Kirk was his or our everything. Same with putting in all the carpet at Paisley for the piano show. I don't think there was anyone closer exept for maybe his assistant.

Kirk never left the Prince camp from the day he joined, after 2000 he was still working at Paisley, and guested onstage in 01 and 02 and a few times after that over the years, he was still recording and mixing and producing with Prince, albums like MPLSound had a lot of help from Kirk but sadly credits were never P's strong point

He was his right hand, I don't think he's going to speak to the press just like that after so many years of confidentiality regarding Prince.

And according to the article he was 1 of the 2 staffers to find him. So we now know 2 of the 3.

Dodging the press until it all calms down. He and prince were close he obviously was privy to information he will.probanly never share.
