For some reason, Tyka's words in this article gave me closure. When she says "He needed to go. He was tired" it really hit me. We can only speculate exactly what our Prince was going through, but he was fighting whatever "it" was for a long time and I'm certain that he gave everything that he had in that fight. Her words helped me stop thinking about this as a tragedy and to think about this in terms of him finally finding his way back home.

What reason does Tyka have to lie. She is getting his money either way and isn't selling a book.

I think she knows exactly what she is saying and is sure enough of her information directly from Prince that she is coming back and repeating what she had said last fall. As in: pay attention.

It was 2 years in 2016, so if the interview was done in 2017 it should be 3 years. I have that and her flip side interview from October. Still don't know what to believe. Just glad she is sticking with 1 story.

All the arguing trying to make Tyka look bad when folks seem incapable of doing simple basic addition, do they really know how it makes them look?

--People are in a state of denial about his health. She has now said this twice but people do not want to hear what she had to say but will listen to anything has to say.

I'm not fully sure what she means by her statement, it's a bit too cryptic for my taste, but she is definitely one person who would need to be cryptic right now since she's in the middle of so many crucial things right now, caution is a must. But she is letting us know this has been a long-term situtation, and quite possibly something more medically terminal COULD have been going on. I'm going to watch the interview even though the show isn't centered on this and might not give anymore info than what's already been stated.

He had a line item of 65k on his inventory sheet for medical expenses and for someone strung out on pain pills he got around really well being able to go all the way to Australia with out the side effects stoping him from performing. Something else was going on with health that made him need those pain meds.

Yeah, I saw that 65K, it's suspicious. Still, too much can be attributed to what we know right now. Hopefully I won't keel over before I know for sure.

I said since day one he was terminally ill and it looked like she said it again. Some fans are just continue to be denial about this.

Did anyone watch this?? What did she say??

It was on ABC tonight at 10pm (eastern time). I haven't watched yet, but I did set the DVR to record it so I can watch it tomorrow night.

Please don't. He's no longer with us and that's all there is to it.

I guess nobody watched it after all.

It's on the dvr. I prefer to fast forward through all the riff-raff to get to what I want to see right away.

Don't bother if all you're watching for is Prince.

Should I ask?

There was also a hospitalization in Spring or Summer of 2012 in Los Angeles. Allegedly, he was very near death and needed his stomach pumped. Multiple sources repeated the same to me.

Anything out there to back this up?

It was never publicized. From what I was told, it happened in the middle of the night. He was out of the hospital by dawn before anyone could say anything.

The moline incident happened after midnight but tmz still got video.

TMZ got video because it was a plane that was diverted and someone leaked the info that Prince was on there. The LA situation was different as he was in LA at the time of the incident. Clandestine efforts were easier to accomplish.
