Picture of Prince, buying music at Electric Fetus on April 16, 2016. He looked fine, imo. No indication that he was sick.

Love the Spiritualized sticker on the counter.

Wasn't this picture taken in February and not April?

I thought this was taken on record store day. It does not matter because it looms fine and what is weird is how fat is mid-section looms and how in pictures from Oct /Nov his face looked chubby.

Okay then....must have been February. Still he appeared fine and did not look sickly.

It's not his midsection, but that lady's jacket

What woman can stand that close to Prince and act like she doesn't even notice?

LOL. Everyone in Minnesota does that. People would barely even look at him because we didn't want him to feel uncomfotable. But then as soon as he left, it was "OMG did you just see Prince?!?. At least that was my experience every time I saw him out.

Prince bought these albums:

1) Stevie Wonder, "Talking Book"

2) Chambers Brothers, "The Time Has Come"

3) Joni Mitchell, "Hejira" (I believe this means "Flight from danger" in Arabic)

4) Swan Silvertones, "Inspirational Gospel Classics"

5) Missing Persons, "The Best Of Missing Persons"

6) Santana, "Santana IV"

All of these are cool, but he liked the Missing Persons?!? I love them! Totally 80's New Wave band, so good.

Can you just stop tacking people. Some are new and Dale Bozzio spent all of two minutes at Paisley Park so most people have no idea. The mods can close topics but cannot put a stop to you harrassing comments.

JMO, but I don't think he looked well. He looked thin and gaunt, especially when you're able to see his legs and how thin they'd gotten. I think the blurriness of this pic makes it more difficult to see just how frail he'd become.

Still handsome and still so Prince though. Dang I miss him

This picture was taken in April. I confirmed it with Electric Fetus.

And of course he looked fine, he was perfectly healthy 57 year old.

No, confirmed with Electric Fetus that this was indeed April, and the last time he was in the store.

Thank you Herb4 and Laura R!

And BartVH, excuse me for not knowing this tidbit from Prince's recording sessions, I never claimed to know anything in the first place.

I do know this, that you get off on trying to make others feel bad and this isn't the first time I have seen you do this.

Oh well, no sweat off my back, peeps like you don't intimidate me. Just make me sad for you.

Peace -

Missing Persons had some serious musicians. Three of them (four if you count Dale's speaking parts in Joe's Garage) were former Zappa players. Dale's husband Terry Bozzio is a drumming legend.

Sorry, but the photo was taken on February 2nd, according to the person who took the photo. Also, the woman in the photo was his assistant.

Dude got a picture of Prince with Tom Waits standing in the background! Whoever said Prince looks "totally fine" is this picture though: I disagree. He still looks frail, thin and sunken; something I started noticing a few years ago.

Yes, I saw the last albums Prince purchased. Kinda sad, isn't it? Wonder if he just purchased them, randomly, or he knew what he wanted. I have to say, the title "The time has come" and "Flight from danger" seem rather eerie. Very cool that he liked Missing Persons, LOL
