Good article and enjoyed gaining more insight into the enigma of Prince. What caught my attention was that both Wendy and Tyka mention getting the "He's gone" call/message (as if it was expected ). Just saying. Peace

Hi, joy! I'm going to have to go back and reread the article, but I thought Wendy's reference to a "He's gone" call was after first hearing the news of a fatality at Paisley Park. I could be wrong, though.

Hi Fly, Yes, you are probably right. I was reading the article while on the clock so it was a quick read for me while I had a minute. THose words just stuck out to me.

The article was a bit vague. It's clear that both Mark and Bobby (and well everyone in MPLS) first heard there was a fatality at PP and then confirmed with "he's gone". But the article didn't clarify if Wendy heard what was happening at PP or just got an out of the blue "he's gone" text. If she hadn't heard that something might be wrong at PP then her knowing exactly what the text meant is odd, because it implies she had a belief/ knowledge that he was at deaths door.
