sorry if this is absurd, but it seems all that knew Prince are very cryptic about his death. Some saying they "knew what was going on [with Prince]".

I know we do not have a right to know, but is the cryptic talk helpful to his fans? Would it be better for those who knew Prince to deny they knew anything?

Im calling bullshit on them Main reason being is Prince's fans supported his endeavors and a lot of theirs too. Hell his fans are the reason they are successful so for them not to want to tell us what happened to him is wrong. I know some say fans dont have a right to know, but we do.

They would tell us, but they know how much some fans want to gossip and play the blame game. They don't want to take away the only joy in those folks lives.

Seriously though, it is LITERALLY none of anyone's business. PERIOD.

I don't think people should worry about it because it will come out. the same people who are being cryptic will be talking someday more than likely. i also would imagine that no one wants to be the one who gets blamed for busting up the image of Prince we have. If Sheila were to say that Prince was a longtime addict, that he took cocaine, heroin, pill pains, it would make her look bad. No winning that one, People are bashing Judith for what little she's said.

Based upon everything I've read about Prince, I would bet good money that Kirk was probably the ONLY person who knew everything. Others might know bits and pieces, and maybe even cover stories told to obfuscate, but that's it. Mark my word.
