Doing the splits in heels killed him

Even my mom used to comment about him doing the splits in heels during the eighties, she said "that's gonna hurt him in his old age"

Why did no one warn him about doing them?

Honestly we don't KNOW all that yet. Might have been a host of other things going on that lead to here. Granted it still is the most likely suspect.

And he'd been warned about his work habits, I'm sure people had a lot to say about what he put his body through.

Well itd be pointless.
However when I first saw sign o the times I remember watching him do the splits on Housequake.
His boots were a lot thicker than purple rain era (like in under The cherry moon), you could see his splits almost had to get bigger just overcome the back of his boots. All I could think was ouch

we don't know yet. He stopped doing the splits years ago and was told to stop dancing, if word on here was true, when he busted his ankle in the 90's. Interestingly, the man worked so damned hard, probably woulda killed any of us. He mentioned in two seperate interviews in the 80's that people were worried that he was going to work himself to death. I wouldn't be a bit surprised if that had something to do with it.
