I am NOT trying to perpetuate a rumor, but here is the link http://blindgossip.com/?p=77843

I have NEVER heard anyone say that Prince had AIDS, in all my life- until this post. And then he died

The two interviews contradict and the second interview with ET will only fuel speculation.

Thing is, you can know a loved one is in their last years but it's not the same as when they actually die. I've been there, death still slaps the shit out of you even if they've been ill. Grief is complicated. Things can sound contradictory 2 others. I reckon the interviews were much longer, they just picked out certain bits 2 televise.

ya, i'd agree, sister died of aids and I'm still not over it, I could see my mother losing her will to live slowly and still wasn't ready for it when it happened. but,, everyone is different. some people, don't knwo what they're fucking problem is, have told me they never even felt bad when their own mother died. who knows, people are strange.

Neither am I.

Ditto. Not intentionally.... I just don't see it with his strong faith background.

Tho i had dismissed the AIDS story a long time ago, i am starting to wonder now. According to that article he stopped taking the HIV meds a couple of years ago, trusting his faith in his religion n God to "take care of him"..If he had told Tyka this back then she may very well have been expecting this to happen eventually..

If prince had AIDS trust me he'd be a lot sicker than someone who went on stage a few days earlier. Trust me I'm talking from a very knowledgeable place here. I personally took tykas quote as meaning that prince was spiritually atunedvto his time. Its just the way he spoke. He always saw himself as some kind of conduit of god. Apollonia said the complete opposite in her Facebook page..that he had plans etc. So who knows. I don't think tyka is particularly bright. Sorry so I think she has very simple takes on things

While I agree with you that Prince did have a way of speaking like that, there is still a reason for his obviously deteriorating physical appearance and weight over the past two years. From my understanding, he'd been dealing with chronic pain issues for far, far longer than only the past couple years so I don't think being in chronic pain was the single, direct reason for his declining health/appearance (but then again, I also realize I don't know the degree to which he was in pain these last years...as a chronic pain and illness sufferer myself, I cannot disregard what pain itself can do to a person either)

-

I felt long before his passing that something wasn't right with Prince's health and largely it was due to his losing weight and looking tired and increasingly frail (my opinion - i know others disagree). So anyway, all this is to say that even if Prince was highly spiritually atuned, I still dont think he was psychic and "knew" he was going to pass in two years and even if he did, it doesn't explain why he looked so unwell. Unless his change in appearance was ALL due to painkillers which I suppose it could be. I still believe he had a terminal illness and accepted it and tried to live with his destiny and get the most he could out of life for as long as he was able.

-

I miss him so much.

I agree with both of you. My mom was very ill for almost 10 years, had multiple open heart surgeries, sepsis infections a couple times, organ transplant, and myriad other physical problems in those last years yet, when she finally passed (suddenly and from an entirely unknown problem that she had) despite my 'preparing' mentally for that horrible day, I was devastated and now, two years down the road, I'm still not handling it well. Grief is so personal, so complex, and is as unique to each person as their fingerprint. You can't really predict how someone will react, how they'll process it, anything nor can you compare people in terms of how grief "should" look, or how long it'll last.

Furthermore to all this what was Tyka thinking. I think she just meant prince believed his job was dine n that's when god takes you. I think he's wrong but I suspect that's his spiritual take. However if she had any brain she should have realised that such a broad statement without clarity would open a can of worms. This issue had been laid to rest in the main. She has done prince n his legacy no favours. This will just be a distraction from the greatness he brought. It doesn't bode well that such a stupid person has such say in prince's legacy

Ahh. I understand now what you meant in your earlier post. I've known people who have that philosophy about life/death as well.

If you have faith, you don't fear death and you don't fight it. My mom was very ill at the end but she was also ready for God to bring her home. It was the bravest thing I ever saw.. I believe Prince is in the arms of god, he was ready and his passing was peaceful..we who are left miss our loved ones terrible, it's our issue..they are at peace

I can't make head or tail of this. Bizarre in life, bizarre in death.

Gutted about this Tyka interviews. Glad you lot give me some comfort.

Anyways; the image someone posted made me think about the Amsterdam show I went to in May 2014. Video is unlisten, but check this out: https://youtu.be/pe8P0ONRpEw?t=3m30s

"If you come to my house, I need you to take care of it. Alright?"

He must have known

Yes, this is what the image I posted was referring to. Thanks for posting.

I eat light.

Then...

that will hit you tomorrow.

Yes, you make absolute sense to me because to me saying "I have done all I was sent here to do", isn't the same thing as saying " I'm dying". As others have posted, i am also confused with the ET interview where she implied that she had two years to prepare and the Today interview, where she said at first it was 90% she didn't believe it. Also, if Prince was sick with Cancer Aids, whatever, the speculation, why would there be no trace of a legal prescription? So we are to believe he was sick with Aids/cancer, some other life threatening/terminal condition, but yet wasn't under a Dr's care at all (oh yeah, he hated drs), but instead was buying illegal Pharmaceuticals to treat his this condition? That makes absolutely no sense, and I am stupidly causing myself stress trying to figure out the truth and trying to make it all make sense. Think I will step away for a minute because this is crazy.

I agree, it's confusing and contradictory. She could have meant she knew he was dying. She also could have been implying that this is when she discovered he had a problem...whether that's an addiction or periods of depression. People should stop jumping to conclusions and stating speculation as fact. Nobody here knows! I honestly think people are over analysing her comments. It's quite common phrasing for families of addicts to say stuff like that..preparing for the worst or living in fear of THE phone call.

Where can I watch Tyka's full interview? Thanks.

& the heart aches still keep coming. This is a bizarre comment & a huge contracdiction on what Judith Hill said after the medical emergency on the plane. Worst of all is the assumption that there might have been a 2 year window in whihc to save his life.

I think this quote has stunned us all & I take Tyka's comments with a bucket of salt.

As for the possibility of his urn being there..my God..surely they should at least forewarn anyone ...being faced with that so soon is too much...way too much.

What's up with the guitars standing in the corner of a freakin locker room (where they show his cloud costume)? Especially THE Hohner! That instrument should be behind bulletproof glass by now as one of the centerpieces of the museum.

Damn :/

Am I the only that was completely freaked out when Tyka said she knew for 2 years???

.

More questions now than ever for me.

.

I had a brother die with NO warning. Who knows how she reacted or acted the past 2 years with that knowledge. I just hope she's at peace, which she seems to be.

I totally agree with everyone who feels like P was ill and knew it. I think that may have been what the emotional performances may have been about. The releases of purple balloons he sometimes did as well. I will always believe he had some type of cancer like prostate or esophageal maybe. Due to his religious beliefs he may have opted to not undergo treatment and just take pains meds to keep on going as long as he could. I so want him here for selfish reasons BUT I am slowly taking comfort and keep reminding myself whatever pain emotional and otherwise he was dealing with, it's over for him now... Sleep well Prince....sleep well....
