I love Prince's aliases. This one makes me so sad.

Thanks for this. Now this alias makes me very happy. Our Prince was so brave and so strong and so was his faith in Christ.

I'm sorry, but no, he wasn't brave and strong. Brave and strong doesn't hide pills all over the place, and live in addiction while pretending to live clean and healthy. I'm sorry to be so blunt, but I hate it when some put blinders on and pretend like Prince was perfect and could do no wrong! He wasn't perfect, he was human like us all, and he wasn't the person that many of us thought he was, and his death proved that.

Opioid addiction is an epidemic. The sad truth is he was a victim to it like many thousands of people. There is no shame in the way his life ended. We all have to die and we all won't die of old age. He lived with strength and bravery.

Apparently there was a lot of shame to Prince in what he was doing, or he wouldn't have hidden it like he did, even from those that knew him or were close to him. Strength and bravery is not having lots of aliases, and getting drugs from different sources, abusing them. Prince was rich, and if he was in pain, there were many other ways and resources that he could have used to deal with it. There are people that are seriously ill with cancer, MS, parkinsons, etc, that deal with it everyday, fighting valiantly, dealing with chemo, etc! They are the ones that are living with strength and bravery!

If he was in shame I would not blame him. Look on how your going on your high horse. Shameful.

Judgmental much? Nothing that has come out in the last year changes what he was to me while he was alive. I don't think anybody here has ever claimed he was perfect either.

No, I'm not judgmental, I just like speaking the truth! I loved Prince as much as any other loyal, long time fan, but I am not going to pretend like he was this perfect, could do no wrong person, just because I loved him and is a fan. Nothing has changed what he was to me either, I will always love him and his music, but like it or not, he wasn't who a lot of us thought he was. Before his death, I'm sure many of you, just like myself, would have tore anyone to pieces, if they even suggested that Prince had a drug problem or used drugs! I'm not judging him or anyone else, because I'm not the judge of anyone, nor can I judge anyone........the only judge to me, is God Almighty!

The only thing shameful is your ignorance. If Prince was in shame, it's was probably because he was pretending to live one way, and was living another. No high horse here, just truth! No one feels good about themselves when they're living a lie, and Prince was probably no exception.

I never said he didn't have faith in God, I knew that Prince loved and believed in God. And no, I haven't been hiding under a rock, and was well aware that he ate healthy, but if you have an addiction, how is that living lean and healthy? Also, yes, I have been in extreme pain, and sought the proper help for it, to deal with it and manage it. I'm not judging anyone, just speaking truth, and if you don't like it, that's your problem.

You never know what people are going though behind closed doors. So if you want to bash him for that so be it be it. He work hard and help many people and does not deserved to be put down for an issue many face rich or poor.

ripe and ready to judge according to their own reflected perceptions

so

Ill say it again..

Prince is Brave strong and Heoric...

and Ill leave it there,

because

no one is perfect therefor

Ill cut you some slack

When I think of how judgemental and self righetous some of these posts are, I'm reminded of the song "Only God Can Judge Me". Prince's relationship and faith in God was his and his alone and who is anybody to cast aspersions on how how sincere Prince lived his life spiritually. We all have to deal with temptation and human fragility. Prince didn't owe it to fans to reveal his problems and in this era of TMZ and reality shows, a lot of people have an inflated sense of entitlement to know personal things about celebrities.

Perhaps you saw what you needed to. Humans are imperfect and if you decide otherwse that's on you.

I totally agree with you. He was under no obligation to explain anything to fans. He did the best he could and never claimed to be perfect. People put that him.

As a Christian, I know how much Prince loved God, in fact, that's one of the things I loved most of all about him. He loved God, and he didn't care who knew it, and definitely didn't make any apologies for it, which is not a popular thing to do, especially in the entertainment business. I know that Prince was human, and had to deal with troubles just like we all do. My problem is with those who don't, and tend to put him and other celebs like him, on a pedestal, so starstruck that they pretend that they are perfect and can do no wrong. I am not one of those people.

My question is, did he have this name on his passport?

No one is perfect but you are saying he wasn't the person you thought he was but now you are claiming you don't put celebs on a pedestal. That is on you if you put him on a pedestal.
