he was probably doin' thangs in the car, had to button real quick! As for the cane, I thought it was style too, until all this pain business sigh


He's moving. Even his legs look weird, so of course his jacket is going to be out of whack in a split second photo. It's an illusion.

In 2008 at a fashion show Simon Doonan said Prince was limping badly and in obvious discomfort. Kevin Smith in his funny video says Prince couldn't help one day because his leg hurt and he had to rest. I can't find the reference right now but there was an article in huffpo saying he used a cane in his 30s. I take opiates for back and hip pain issues. If I'm taking enough to mask the pain I'll look fine and not limp. If I'm in pain I can walk perfectly fine if I don't want people worrying about me or noticing but it will hurt to do it and I'll pay for that later.

Your post reminds me of when I watched the Coachella Show from 2008. Prince was clearly limping when he walked from one end of that huge stage to the other, but him being the epitome of cool he swagged and styled it out cool smile . I know some orgers think he was fine then but with hindsight I think he was suffering at that time which makes me think that the rumours of his later surgery are true.

Come now, isn't life a little better with a pair of good shoes? - Prince 1985

in the beginning it was probably for style and later because he physically needed it for support.




It was always for supprt. Even way back then.



Really? Im going with style in the beginning...it was apart of his outfits




I agree. They were very elaborate to begin with. He tended to stick with that same plain silver one in his last few years. Kinda odd seeing as he's always coordinated all his outfits/ accessories in the past.

He did have a foot injury at one point. He talked about it on one of the Leno appearances (I think). Said it was from something on stage being in the wrong place when he stepped off.

There are telescoping canes that collapse down. yes to more Prince emojis.

Brand new boogie without the hero.

Are we talking about the one in silver with Bria? It's made that way I think. His black leather goes at an angle. I believe the symmetry of it is to add length. It was sharp for sure.

I remember seeing that video years ago. That's one reason I believe that he needed the cane. He has been using a cane for over 20 years. He never kept any one look for too long.

There is video on TMZ (I think) that was taken a few weeks before he died, where he was running out to the suv and you can see him hop as if he did not want to put pressure on one leg. In the public autopsy report it notes that he had a scar on his right lower leg, so there was something going on with the leg, as well as the hip.

I hook one foot in front of the other which looks like a pose but my left leg is barely touching the ground and all my weight is On my right leg. But my close friends, family, and doctors know. It's a broken record, literally, but I'm so sad his chose to live on the Island of Denial. You can visit every once in a while but you cannot live there.

There's an article here talking about an ankle injury Prince had back in 1998 http://www.mtv.com/news/1...-accident/

There's also a YT video that shows Prince clearly in pain. Search for Prince waiting for elevator, it's the first one you'll see in the the list. He didn't know at first that a camera was on him, but became uncomfortable once he spotted it. The video makes me sad sad , it's a part of him that we've never seen before. Just shows how well he could hide what was going on with him.

Welcome to "the org", Mumio…they can have you, but I'll have your love in the end nod

Ya know, whenever I see that BBC interview w/ P and Larry Graham from the same era, I always wonder if he was truly limping at the end of it when he stood up. He played it off and rose from his seat while they were having a laugh, but it looks like a limp rather than a stuttered, purposeful half step. Could be projecting here, but after watching that elevator vid, it seems even more possible that he was really hurtin'.


Dude gave us his all and it was beautiful. Unfortunate that he suffered for it. RIP, friend.

You said its the 1st one that comes up with that search, and this is what comes up. I don't see him clearly in pain in this video. Or are you talking about another video?

I've come to believe that, it's too coincidental, a casual prop just happens to turn into something needed.



It was already in use so when he did need it for support no one would ever question there was another reason he needed it...Prince was very smart eek





He thought ahead. Ok. lol


thumbs up!

Injuries to rock stars is nothing new, and Prince is no exception. He was perfectly okay by the end of 1999, as evidenced in the Rave Un2 The Year 2000 video.

The conjecture about Prince being "clearly in pain" is just that - conjecture. Fans sure can project your own romanticized version of hip pain or whatever into anything you see with Prince, and 99% of the time it's totally untrue.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

In the BET interview w/ TS he said that he had to cancel some shows in DC bcos of the accident. P said that his big toe bent back under his foot. i'm guessing that caused the problems in his right knee. there is a pic of him in white and gold, he is seated in front of andy,ida and john. you can see that he has a brace of some kind on his right knee.

==

he was obviously in pain during the publicity with bria, check the videos of them during fashion week, esp the one when they are waering silver and grey. he's really struggling as they walk away. sad

omg his being uncomfortable to be watched and filmed and then his leaning on the cane is very painful to watch. It gives me all sorts of motherly feelings I would never have associated with Prince before. Makes me want to hug and cuddle him like I do mu kids when they are in pain or are feeling uncomfortable or shy.

Many of the commenters on that video see a man in pain. Not just in hindsight if you look at the dates.
