This one

Every time I see this photo I get chills. For a while before this nightmare started, I thought something was up. He just didn't seem like his usual self and I see it all in this photo. I'll never understand why he was taken from us so soon

Pain, tired, and trying not to show it It's been off since November 2015 (imo). Watch the eyes, they are the windows to the soul.

Is he wearing slippers?

It's the shadows of his legs, you can actually see the end of one of his boots on the left.

Anyone else NOT a fan of Prince with a beard, hoop earring or slave written across his face? Not my favorite P looks.

Def NOT the Slave period.

I can't do PR. I tried to listen to it once and completely lost it. Jennifer Hudson's performance was the first I had heard it since. Lost it then too. It's such an emotional song in general and now it means so much more. It saddens me because I don't think I can ever enjoy that song for the right reasons anymore.

PR is waaaay 2 good 2 shelf. It will come back 2 u eventually. Even if it feels difficult/different the first little bit, u can also draw from the first time u heard it and how his music made u feel. I take the roof off my Jeep and blast Darling Nikki... the drums, the lyrics, the screams!!... I'm a kid again, so alive ... like I'm hearing it 4 the first time. I hope u get there soon hun.

"Thank u 4 a funky time, call me up whenever u wanna grind"

It's such a perfect song. It'll take some time but I do hope I'll be able to listen again. Like you said, it'll definitely be different but I hope it won't be this difficult forever. Thank You

Oh God, that's scary looking, it makes him look alone.

Just not the slave, that's his crazy pixie/elf period. Not handsome, to thin and strange. But the beard, earring long hair pirate look, LOVE IT!

That song is a few up on my greates hits c/d, usually I get through Head and close it down but today I went to the end, wasn't ready. Gett Off, Cream, She's a Peach, no problem but that long Purple Rain with all his woo hoo hoo hoo, God kills me. My husband thinks I'm on the way to a breakdown, maybe he's right cause now I'm crying again. A few days after this all happened, I started "Princercizing", he's helped me lose a dress size already! This is becoming a marathon of grief.

"Skip" or "next" are ur best friends right now. The "Woo hoo hoo hoo", the guitar, the melody...everything about the end of that song is paralyzing. I tried 2 listen 2 it once. Once. I compared it 2 tearing off a band-aid. Do it quick and leave a scar. The thing is... he is not on our exterior.... he only lives inside. The deepest part infact. He's in our DNA. He is music and his music lives in us. We are the lucky 1's who know what that feels like. It will get better. Promise.

Thank you for all of your help and kind words of encouragement, I hope we'll all be able to heal.

This is from Koko in London in May 2007. This was after the little incident with an overly enthusiastic fan, aka "Humpalina." I posted some pics of that earlier in the thread, I can repost if you want... Here's one of them:

This is interesting because I've also been listening to Darling Nikki a lot lately! In particular to an unreleased version that has a different guitar part on it.

ME tooooo! Not to mention that I have the most appalling memory, so if someone posts something that was previousl posted and I ALREADY asked, i'll probably ask again because, well, inquiring minds...

Ok ladies so here's the deal with the shaving clips. If my memory serves me correctly it's from the 3 Chains O' Gold video -not the movie. Maybe someone else can back me up in that or correct me if I'm wrong cuz to be honest it's kinda driving me crazy trying to place it! While I can't find the entire shaving scene I *DO* have something that will put together a lot of the GIFs. I won't give a link here but if U guys want some good...well not good but GREAT oh lawd I want him!! kind of P eye candy org note me and I'll shoot U the link. I only popped on quick enough to shout that out. I'll send out the link to whoever when I log back on. I see U back at it monkey...g'morning!! can't wait 2 see what U'll get into today! C U later kids, everyone have a good day!

Yep... 3 Chains 'o Gold it is!!!

Don't know if this was posted.
