This photo was posted on "Prince Live The Best". Like others say, it's the only one I've seen where he didn't look fine...but the light IS overhead and odd.

He looks happy. End of story.

He looks like 57 years old and 112 pounds.

....and I think he was as thin in the mid-1990s. Some of the images with Mayte, he looks like he'd blow away.

One writer reported "Prince would weigh 120 soaking wet and carrying a brick."

This.


But he looks happy. I'm always a sucker for the big cheesy grin.

If I look half that well when I'm 57 I'll be happy.

I think he looks really happy here and it is lovely to see photos of him smiling. He is thin, but he was always thin. he is so cute.

Yes, I thought the same, like when you have your name sewn into your clothes at school. I love this beanie though - I thought he rocked it everytime I saw it.

That is not a typical looking 57 year old.

Still so surreal that he's gone...

He's going to look like that and have wrinkles being so close to 60. It seems like people don't really fully realize he was just three years shy of it, probably because he wore the time so well.

As you age, it's normal to see volume loss in the face due to less collagen and hyaluronic acid production, as well as loss of subcutaneous fat. Your face starts to look slimmer and more angular, which can make you look older and more tired. Prince aged really well, and it was only a matter of time before at least some of the years caught up to him. And the who knows how many nights and days of no sleep, the night owl. The man wasn't going to look like a spry elf forever.

He looks like a 57-year-old Prince--which is better than any other 57-year-old I've personally seen--and happy here, if a little tired. And he's always been a slim jim.

Slim Jim -- that's accurate!

As for the rest of it, man, I dunno. I agree with you, because he WAS 57, no way he was gonna look super young forever. Also, who the hell even knows what brah was doing when we weren't looking.

Could he have been ill? Yes, of course he could. I'm not gonna sit here and panic over a picture of him not looking super pretty, though. Tell you true, I find him looking like a regular human being far more interesting than the super dolled up guy. It's just such a waste of time, isn't it? None of it helps anyone go anywhere with their grief, which some seem to be clinging to so fiercely.

He's beautiful...nuf said!

Right. I think this photo is sadly, horribly revealing.
