Yes, I wish he wasn't alone, dying in an elevator. I wish he was being looked after, & cared for.

I don't want to hear about anyone claiming to be a gf, when the man almost DIED on a plane, yet was still left alone.

I know people with minor illnesses, even exes who bring food, comforting things, check on those close to them in time of sickness.

If that was your supposed bf, you should have been there, refused to leave. Not leave someone to die.

He's in the Big White Mansion. RIP Prince

Ah people, he was alone because that's how he liked to be. He said numerous times that "he wanted to be left alone". When he was with his spouses or girlfriends, they never looked like a great couple. Prince said he was "neither a man, nor a woman". He was not the husband type, he was not the beau type. He was Prince, "the one and only". His talent was a blessing and a curse, a curse that would make him lead a lonely life. Surrounded by hordes of people but still lonely. All of his girlfriends and spouses were his business associates.

As long as he knew that he was loved. But I don't think he knew just how much.

i initially felt a twinge of sadness about this, especially since many of his later songs talked about love and apparent yearning for someone. he said in rs in 2014 he was open to getting married again but it had to be the right person. he could have had ms.right now any day, any time. i give him credit for wanting to be with his soulmate who loved him for him. and he seemed to be ok with it happening or not happening. he said it was up to God.

also, i am finally at the point where i can hear him sing and watch his performances. he beams on stage. he looks so happy, especially in recent years where he is really interacting with the fams.

music was always his true love, imo. and he had that till the end.

I agree that his music was the love of his life. Yet, he loved women and wanted intimacy. But I do feel for someone like Prince, driven to create and perform his music for himself and his fans, it ended up being really hard to sustain a healthy relationship. I feel he wanted to have a life long partner, but yes he really wasn't ultimately the marrying kind as far as to keep a relationship going. I do also feel in the end he wanted to be alone. Especially if he wasn't feeling good and was ill. I can understand him wanting to deal with all of his health issues privately.

Honesetly y'all I am still having issues to the fact that he was found dead in his elevator. Something still does not sit right with me on this fact. I am praying we all find out more information and the TRUTH as to what is going on. I know the family does not have to release anything to us, but as Prince's family too (yes, we were we are forever bonded to Prince thru his music), we all deserve to know the truth. I don't like that he was alone at his death. We all loved Prince for who exactly he was and for his gift - his music. He is such a mystery that I have been trying to figure out since the 80's and as for me I don't think I will ever understand Prince fully. But that is why I love him and his talent so, there is never ever ever going to be anyone like Prince not even close.

I wish that he had taken better care of himself. If he put even half into his health what he put in his religion, music career, and charity efforts, everything else would have fallen into place. I wish he knew that putting his health on the line to make his fans happy and not disappoint anyone, shouldn't have been a priority. Honestly, Prince at 10%, without the bells and whistles and theatrics, is more than most musicians and artists nowadays. I'm sorry I can't stomach the Britney Spears, Taylor Swifts, Kanye Wests, Justin Beibers, Demi Lavatos, Selena Gomez of the world, and all the like! No of these children come close to Prince.

I wish he knew that not sleeping for several days on end, being reminded to drink water and not eating was doing more to hurt him than anything. If he took care of himself, maybe the happiness his would have followed. That's what I wished for him. After two failed marriages, it didn't seem like he was going to find love in the form of another wife. I would guess that if he had children when he were alive, he would have been an amazing father. He probably would have taken care of himself. He would have had a reason to keep fighting. Unfortunately this is something we will never know. The only thing I know for sure he is sooo loved and he didn't leave this earth alone.

I won't say that I wish that he did, because that may not have been the lifestyle that he wanted. I will say that if he did have a spouse, I don't think that he would have died on April 21, 2016. I was looking at Manuela's Facebook page last night and someone posted that pic of she and Prince drinking Jamba Juice. Manuela commented: "Um yeah, he wasn't 112 pounds when he was with me...healthy and happy!" sad

Of all the things she could say, she makes a remark that sounds like a dig. This woman is a cow.

LOL. Any clue why she divorced him? I was in high school when it actually happened so I wasn't privy to much of what was going on. Most articles mention that she couldn't handle the attention, but I don't believe that bit.

Wouldn't it be comforting to know that Prince had a real partner or wife at the end. I feel like


if he had a companion, we'd have less grief. It would mitigate some of the pain for me if I knew he


was taken care of emotionally leading up to his death. Sort of like Iman and Bowie: it's her place to grieve, as his widow, not mine. I'm free to sit back and feel my sentiments of love and appreciation. But with Prince having been so alone in life, there is a void that evokes and extra level of sadness and grief for me around his passing. What do you all think?


[Edited 5/19/16 14:27pm]



He has multiple women at the end.


Did he have u too?

agreed, seems a tacky comment and self-aggrandizing...it's not about HER...and didn't Prince have the home they loved in torn down?...I wouldn't be so eager to brag about how good I was for him...

AnnaStesia10 asks: Sorry if I don't know this and should, but does anyone here know why Prince and Mani divorced? I heard she filed the papers. I don't know much about her, but from what I read on the org she is not really liked. She sounds bitchy in that fb comment about Prince not weighing that much while they were together. But it's true that a wifey does look after her man like making sure they are eating right and drinking water, etc. However, Prince was not dumb and was hyper-aware. Maybe he unintentionaly let his health "go" so to speak due to an illness that we are not aware of, as of yet. Idk, I guess I do personally wish he had someone looking out for him as a back up. Why God was it his time to go, right now? And leave us alone in a world that's so cold?

You know looking at it now....Prince didnt give much 'space' for a family to develop - his requirements of his wives were like a gilded cage and while it may seem as if the wife was exalted....once he was bored of you as his 'creation' he moved on married or not. Girlfriend, protege, album, gig, song - it was the same really ....it was about the 'making' then moving on.

I dont know if there was ever the space for a healthy successful relationship to be able to flourish amid Princes conditions....his love was music, his wife was music, his songs were his children - absolutely everything in his life was in service to that.

Its what he wanted and it was the way he wanted it. I think we have to be content with the fact that Princes idea of happiness and fullfillment was different and his need for a certain kind of love was different. Maybe he made the trade-off on purpose, and I think he transferred that feelin gof love and that fervor to his religion -rather than a person/family.



I agree with you.

I think he was the Peter Pan type. The creative eternal child type.

And if you read the story, Peter Pan does have loneliness. He wants Wendy in his life, but he can't really accommodate for her so Tinkerbell does the trick insteas and he stays forever young in Neverland.

Prince's father seems the same: he liked a lot of women and tended to like young women even when he got older.

I really think that it is a big paradox with such characters. What we love about them, and what is adorable and wonderful with them, nonetheless has drawbacks. The person is human. Ultimately, I think it really depends on the eye of the beholder and what one's ideas of perfection or right are.

For instance, I believe that some people just do not suit monogamy and Prince was quite possibly one of these people.

I did read once the opinion that he habitually idealized a love interest, got with her, then discarded her and moved on. Think that the term "narcissist" was bandied about also. Perhaps there is validity to these opinions.
However, I personally believe that some people simply cannot abide by monogamy, just like short term relationships do not have to mean that the person(s) is a user. Again, it's down to ideas.

And I think society brainwashes us to think that monogamy is the only way to be. I think Prince even believed this or tried to make himself believe it when he tried marriage. Maybe 'forever' didn't suit.

Who is to say that he was not happy. Even if he did have some times of loneliness, few situations are perfect.

He was in love with himself, and it was not just his music. He cared too much about how he looked, too. His makeup, his hair, his costumes were perfect to the last detail. It's understandable that he could not maintain a long lasting relationship and a family. Geniuses never can.


...like Narcissus?

I think it would bring some comfort to some if he were with someone or married. If he were truly happy with someone, it would say in essence that he loved and was loved in return. I don't think it was a necessity for him, however, and I think that to some degree he might have enjoyed the quest for his "one" and imaginings of who she would be; it was one of the sources of his creativity that he applied to his song writing. I think he may have yearned to have a special woman in his life, but I also think that maybe he was in no hurry and could patiently wait. I think a potential mate for him would feel like an undeniable pull, gravitational is how he said it himself, that he couldn't get away from. I guess what I'm trying to say is that maybe he was happier on his own than being with the wrong woman.

Also...I recently bought a commemorative edition book on Prince and there was one article in there where Ingrid Chavez spoke about Prince: "He [Prince] lives almost in some sort of fantasy," says Ingrid Chavez. "He talks about the life he wants to live more than he lives it." I know this is just coming from her perspective, but it really struck a chord with me. It's like he wanted so many things, a phenomenal love in particular, and fantasized about it, wrote songs about it, but he had difficulty applying it to reality.



You hit the nail I think. And the poster that wrote about his being focussed on romantic love.

The poster Ufoclub wrote a brilliant summary on the beauty of Prince as an artist - his "fantastic sentiment", he called it; and that Prince idealized whatever he was singing about, often a girl.

It's what was so appealing and charming about Prince. But it is also a fantasy. Romance doesn't really work in real life not really, jyst like all professional skirt chasers don't nd up living the dream. There is always a trade off, and perfection can't exist. there is always imerfection to accept with everything.

Prince was a wonderful forever dreamer chasing after the perfct. It's what I find endlessly ndearing about him as an artist and personality - afterall, his search is the same as everyone's, a spiritual quest for perfect love, which does exist but it's all down to perception and where you see it. Prince had rose colored glasses and if he'd been female he would have been an incurable romantic, I thin he was as a man.

On a sadder note, I suspect that this same romantic outlook on life may have contributed to his demise. Just like with Vanity, he was a little red corvette. Full to the brim with passion.
