3 questions I've had about Prince:

1) was there a swimming pool at or inside Paisley park?
2) did Prince ever color his hair?
3) did Prince ever get "work done", i.e. facial injections etc?

I only know about #2, Yes. During his emancipation days, he colored the top of his hair auburn. Seeing how gray his siblings are, I think he was dying his hair these last few years.

Welcome home class. We've come a long way. - RIP Prince

With regards to 3 I'd say not as that kinda thing tends to make the face unexpressive and he was making faces and raising his eyebrows to the end. Also, it mighta been an ebony cover maybe where u could pure see the lines on his forehead. A lot of his pics, in later years were quite airbrushed or photoshopped tho.
.
There'll be someone on here that works in that area can give a better idea mind!
.
I think there's a pool in the legendary Gangster Glam video but I'm. It sure if that's at Paisley or not. It seems to be at the back of some house with some trees behind it etc. ThE way the video is shot in always assumed it was at Paisley!

Of course he dyed his hair, he was in his 50's with no gray hairs visible. I haven't seen anyone that age without any gray hair, unless they've dyed it.

Do this one look like it might be inside Paisley? I think it might a hotel, though.

Yea, I went back and looked at it again. The windows... I don't think Paisley have any, right?

You forgot to put the word "stupid" between "3" and "questions".

Just because you haven't seen anyone doesn't mean they don't exist. Don't say of course when you have no idea...none of us do.

I beg to differ 1contessa....here's why. My father passed at age 69 with not one single gray hair, jet black btw, on his head. There was some, very, slight thinning on the crown. His hair was also very thick still, too. He would never have dyed his hair....just not that type. Hunted, fished, smoked camels w/o the filter and drank Black Velvet (gosh....I miss him much!). A man's man.

So, I don't think Prince did but realize that he would have if needed.

I agree. I'm a massage therapist and have seen quite a few people without grey hair who are over fifty. Dyed hair feels different.

my dad was 52 when he died, not a gray hair in his head. I'm 48 and don't have any. It's not that common though.

there was a clip from the musicology tour where Prince had black stuff coming down his face, we all assumed it was hair die rinsing out. Muhammad Ali died his hair for his fight with Larry Holmes, to look younger, he looked great but during the fight, neither his skills or his hair maintained any illusions, it rinsed out.

To me, Prince's hair doesn't look the same color in this picture, that it usually looks…

No pool at PP. Yes he colored his hair. A nose job.

Looking at Google Earth, there was never an outdoor pool at Paisley at least. But several books refer to a pool at Prince's custom house he had built in 1986 and that was demolished in 2004.

.

Prince's house was not far from the studio, this building fits the description facing Lake Ann, off the road with an ovoid driving circle

.

Paisley Park is shown if you turn on the 3d mode and this is indicated by me (I spelled it Paisley Parks by mistake)

[img:$uid]http://i1081.ph.../img:$uid]

.

This photo is dated March 12 2016 - so about 6 weeks before he passed on.

If you use the clock, it shows way back photos. The oldest is 1991 and grainy black and white, a house can be made out with pool and Paisley park is missing the egg. The next is 2002 and shows it more clearly in colour. The best view is 2003

[img:$uid]http://i1081.ph.../img:$uid]

.

My peg is in the same place as the later shot and you can clearly see a pool to the right of it, kidney shaped like in the still from Gangster Glam. Left is a house and to the north is a tennis court.

.

This is almost certainly the house, Prince built in 1986 after he gave the Kiowa trail purple house to his dad.

[img:$uid]http://i1081.ph.../img:$uid]

.

The still shows low bushes around the pool and these are visible in 2003 as being taller and bushier at right and maintained at left. Remember between the 1991 photo and the 2003 image, there was 12 years of growth, alos open grass stretches north of the pool in both shots. If the shot is facing north, the low sun is coming from the west or northwest indicating a summer late afternoon. It is only that green in MPLS between May - Sep and warm enough to swin June to Sep, so this is probably July/Aug when he was filming and promoting the gett off maxi single.

.

Later on the wayback thing, shows the buildings hidden in 2004, there in later 04 and gone by 06. The tennis court remains and the building site grows over.

.

I think Prince had a pool at home and it was used in gangster glam, hopefully this will convince you.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

Very detailed, thank you.
I knew there wasn't an outdoor pool at PP but thought there might've been an indoor one. I knew he had one at one of his other homes in the past from his telling of how he had Vanity thrown into it.

Thanks AC.

And to those who thought my questions were "stupid", I have a reason for asking them. This one I asked because I was trying to learn who "Stay Cool", perhaps the last song he wrote, could've been meant for.

Just from looking at photos, I thought he had had his nose done, and his cheeks were not as round as when he was a teenager. Maybe wisdom teeth removed? As for dying his hair: yes, in the 90s (he had the orangish stuff on the Today show and in the photo with Ali). Kim, his stylist, would know.

My Gosh people are so dang rude around here. For goodness sake if someone thinks something is stupid keep it moving. Just childish.

Unless his hair just naturally morphed from jet black to auburn-streaked and back again, I'd say yeah, he dyed it.

Well yes...but I was wondering more about dying due to gray or silver hair with aging.
However his little beard, mustache and sideburns didn't appear to be gray, so...
