_Why would reviews mention his looks? Critics would be reviewing the performances and the music. I never said their was anything wrong with his performances or energy level. You need to take time to read before you respond. | |

^ Because critics who review live shows tend to make observations about the artists in question. None of them commented on Prince looking ill. You claimed he looked ill so I'd expect critics reviewing his shows to also say he looked ill (because you said it was obvious and anyone who didn't notice must have eye problems) | |

I have never read a concert reveiw were a critic made mention of an artist look unless it had something to do with their stage outfit. I think P did not look good at those Paris shows in 2014 that is my opinion. You can argue with me all day it will not change my opinion. | |

. All you do is talk in circles and you don't answer any questions or bring anything to the table. . Speaking in factual terms is not talking "in circles." Fact versus conjecture. That sums up our exchanges on this thread. You've been attempting to provide answers to questions that you are not in the position of answering. That's all I've been trying to point out. . You think Tyka was ... . Please don't tell me what I think or what I don't think. I've said none of the things about her or her comments that you're alleging. And I don't need to reiterate or clarify, because it's already clear in what I've said in previous posts. . And it could all or some be plicable to him . Touche - I have no idea what I was trying to say with the non-word "implicable." My bad. . For what it's worth, I'm going to take a step back here and just say I never intended to argue with you about any of this. I just felt that on this and some other threads, you have been attempting to fill in blanks that no one (well, perhaps someone - but no one here) can possibly fill. Speculation is speculation. In my opinion (and I emphasize here: opinion), it seems that you've presented some of your speculations as something more concrete. . Again, it's not that I'm talking in circles. I'm just not trying to answer anything that can't be answered. We can certainly disagree in our interpretation of some of the things that have been said by various people, but for what it's worth I have no intention offending. | |

Yes, will disagree on what Tyka actually said. | |

. Nowhere have I disagreed with you (or anyone) on what she said, as presented by the media. I don't disagree with people on things that are a matter of public record. . What she did not say is why she was preparing for his passing for two years. You have tried repeatedly to fill in that very large gap in information by *interpreting* it to mean that he revealed an illness to her. If he did, she has not said. Or it hasn't been made public due to the way in which her comments were presented by the media. . We may find out the whole truth someday. We may not. | |

She said he told her he had accomplished everything he sat out to do and was finished two years ago. When she was asked how long would it take for fans to get over his death she said she had two years and had been grieving and crushed for two years?
Think about this. If someone asked you How long will it take to get over a death and you say you knew it was coming for two years and had been grieving and crushed during that two year period.
Would you not be responding to the question concerning death and getting over it?
Tyka was not saying she was crushed about him obtaining all of his career goals. Do you think reaching career goals is something she would be crushed about?
She answered the question about the timeline for getting over this by telling us she knew it was coming. We do not need to know why we just know she knew it was coming and I doubt Prince was planning to O.D. on mislabeled pills two years ago.
He reveled something to her or she would not have had anything to grieve over in the first place.
I know you want to be right but you are ignoring something as plain as day.

^ Dr Funkenberry covers this very thing in one of his podcasts. Tyka had to pay to get into most of the PP gigs she attended. They weren't that close. | |

They weren't that close. -- But people are saying she was with him in Baltimore and along at a few other gigs. It does not matter if they were close or not because if he did not want her to anything to do with his business he would have written a will and she could have been excluded from everything. Prince was the executor of his Dad's estate so he knew how things worked. | |

. I know you want to be right . Friend, I say this was ALL due respect - but I *am* right in this case. . Please understand that I *do* get why you are leaping to the conclusion that Tyka was implying an illness or some concrete reason WHY she had been preparing for two years. It is not an unreasonable conclusion to draw. . But that doesn't make it the correct conclusion. We don't know what the truth is - Tyka didn't even give us her version of the truth. She made a vague revelation. . Fact: we do not (nor will we ever know) the actual nature of Prince and Tyka's relationship. . Fact: we do not know if Tyka was looking to grab a few extra headlines with a "revealing" comment. NOTE: I'm NOT saying this *is* the case, just pointing out that there is zero reason to assume this is out of the question. . We do not need to know why we just know she knew it was coming . Yes, we do need to know why. And not even necessarily from her. She could literally say anything she wants. Therefore until we hear something concrete, we don't know what she "knew was coming." . He reveled something to her or she would not have had anything to grieve over in the first place . I absolutely agree that your statement above is a reasonable assumption to make. But reasonable assumptions are not facts. And add to that the unpredictable, often irrational behavior of human beings in general - people grieve for many different reasons, including reason that you, me, or the guy next door *might* consider less than grieve-worthy. Without more information, we simply cannot know over *what* she was grieving. And that's a fact. . But because I pride myself on always trying to take the high road in any discussion, I DO concede that your interpretation *might* be correct. But where you're definiably wrong is in saying any of it is "as plain as day." | |

I am sure he did not hate her. She lived in a house he brought, he put her in rehab, she worked for him from time to time. | |

Laura..are you here..?
SO ...
Now that Prince4ever is being released, In the light of the revelations you have shared regarding NPGPUblishing LLC,
I always wondered WHy Prince went back to Warners.....Now I understand...
He had the Upper Hand, OWNERSHIP of his Publishing
It would seem that Warners are simply the Distribution Company and would be making LESS than NPG ?

Yes, you are correct he needed to negotiate something to get the masters back so he worked with them to distrube and market his music AOA for example and my guess is part of the deal was to get a remasterd versions of the back catalogue out to the public. He had similar deals with record labels over the years and with streaming cutting into revenue he saw this a a good way to get the music out. | |

Well if the two releashes that are coming out are coming out on NPG records so we can keep supporting what he was doing. | |

I have been doing some reserch on the long term effects of pain pills and these meds cause permenent damage to your organs and a whole host of other problems. If he had organ failure he would have to get off pain meds immediatly and this would have been next to impossible to pull off. In addtion, there are several medications for organ failure some of which are not given by RX at a pharmacy some require treatement to be given by a doctor and the meds are not controlled substances. Remember according to the search warrent Dr. S wrote other Rx for meds for Prince that were not controlled substances and on at least one website Dr. S was listed as a critical care Doctor. His problems were addtication but what lead to the addiction and what did the side effects of the pain meds do to his overall health. | |

I saw him in 2014 at the Essence Festival and he looked fine then, but several months later, towards the end of 2014, he looked like he had aged a bit. I thought not much of it because after all he was in his mid 50's. After that, he seemed to be aging quicker than one would expect. I felt that something was not quite right with him. During the Arsenio Hall interview, he seemed alert and he answered questions rationally, but I had a sense there was something distant about him. The same for the SNL anniversary performance. | |

I have been researching that myself. For some strange reason I have wound up looking into holistic
medicine, probably because it has been reported that P was detoxing on his own and the article that
stated that he had an appointment with a Holistic Dr. the morning of his passing. You can get lost
for hours. | |
