He could see what was coming.

He was all about love

And it seems the world is sorely lacking in that these days

Maybe he could see the way this is headed

NO. NO. NO. STOP. Stop romanticizing his death. Just. Stop.

He died from taking a very strong drug, and he took too much of it. Ya can't keep doing that, and survive. No one "checks out early" like that, especially someone like Prince, who was still very much alive, performing, and doing what he loved.

"Fans" who pop up and say stuff like this makes it all very disrespectful, and it lacks compassion.

Besides, who says "Oh, I'm in an elevator - maybe I'll just drop dead here, and fuck everyone else."? (Plot twist: No one.)

Just %*#(!^ing stop it.

Sit your flippant ass down. If you can't show some respect then STFU/

See, this shit right here is what I'm talking about. Your comment is out of line, disrespectful, and frankly a bit offensive.

He's the one that sang the wrote the song and sang the lyrics.

"Don't let the elevator bring us down

Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door

Maybe it's 'cause we're all gonna die"

Oh yeah, and...

"Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill..."

THANK YOU for saying this. Romanticising any of it is a disservice to those who could learn from it and/or be inspired to help themselves sooner ie: Chaka.

I'm a newbie, and this is my 2nd post, but I'll still give my opinion on the matter. I think Prince was a victim of his own fame and power. He could get anything he wanted at the snap of a finger. No one would say no to him ... not even his doctors. Prince hid his weaknesses and addiction from his fans because he had an image to uphold. But behind the glam rock and roll image I believe was a very lonely man. He also had a tendency of dismissing people when he became disappointed or bored. A very high wall from his early childhood abandonment issues perhaps. For me his death is hard because he's another of my generation that is gone too soon. I was born in 1958, five months after Prince. I was sad when Michael Jackson died, but Prince is much harder to take. Probably because Michael was a train wreck, but Prince always seemed to have it together. Since his death I've been going back and listening to his music, and I'm reminded of what a fantastic talent he was. And what an extremely gorgeous man he was. Very sad and tragic.

He also said "de elevator" was a symbol for the devil, and the whole song is about not succumbing to evil. Gheezus, now you're just trolling.
