the alzheimer part is true. notice he was not singing songs in their completion, and he was using a telepromter on tour.

No, it's not. Prince did not have Alzheimer's. I work with elderly individuals and Alzheimer's would impact more than just remembering song lyrics. IF he had Alzheimer's, he would forget the date. Alzheimer's impacts short term memory in the beginning. He might keep asking the same question over and over, have difficulty concentrating and taking longer to complete tasks, may have trouble driving to a familiar location (forgetting the way there), may forget where they are or how they got there, may have problems following a conversation or remembering a particular word, they will lose interest in grooming or staying clean, stop doing hobbies or things they enjoy, becoming less social, become confused, suspicious, fearful, or anxious.

The one thing I see a lot when working with people with Alzheimer's is the difficulty in remembering a word. They'll try saying it, they know they know the word, but they just can't bring it out. They get tearful and depressed. Prince did not show any of these signs.

Prince didn't use a teleprompter at the Atlanta gigs. He had the set lists on his piano, and maybe lyrics if he was going to do a medley - more likely prompts of when to switch between songs. He had no problems talking and getting his point across and didn't forget any words.

the cocaine use in the 80's was true. when Prince came to Detroit for the Purple Rain tour a keyboard player I knew got backstage. everybody backstage was saying Prince was snorting coke. thats how he played 7 nights in a row. it was no big deal because everybody was doing coke in those days except me

No everybody on his crew was using drugs and I lot of people got fired at the end. Not one single person has said he was on drugs not one. Estates cannot sue so why are people not talking I mean putting their name to these stories.

There are engineers like Susan Roger who spent days with him and they have said he was not high.

None of them do, they all go to 3rd party websites. I even tried reelz and all I got was a 30 second promo clip. Yes you are reminded of being on another planet when you live in New Zealand like I do.

.

Hopefully one of you all can tell me what the synopsis of the thing is. Surprised as the other Reelz documentary I watched on yt and it stayed up until a week ago.

I'm choosing to believe that these cocaine accusations are the tabloid-ish way of goading the family into responding. There's some inconsistencies in what they promoted to be true and what they chose to dispel. They choose to dismiss all the people who have worked close to him over the years for the word of his deceased step sister's (yes, I said STEP sister's) lawyer's words. Looks like Anna Fantasic is the only person interviewed on this show that actually knew him. There was the PP DJ that had a fact wrong I guess he counts. Oh and the clip of an ET interview of Shelia.

So apparently Mayte has been added to some Prince FB group and it seems she will be doing a live feed from her FB page to address this show. That's what I read on Youtube comment section.
For those who did watch this show: was she mentioned in any way?

A concerned female friend reported to the carver county sheriff's dept that Prince had a coke problem and admitted to her that he couldnt quit. Just sayin. I know Prince preached clean living. I believe he wanted to be drug free. I believe he attempted to keep any drug use minimal and under control. I believe if there is any truth to this it was in the early years, certainly not in the last couple decades. And I dont believe he was ever a constant user of any particular drug. But its simply naive to think anyone in the music business as long as he was, anyone who was as famous as he was, anyone who lived in LA for some amount of time, anyone as secretive as he was, anyone who could stay up and work for extended periods of time like he did, anyone as creative as he was, anyone who could perform like he did, didnt ever use any drugs to enhance his creativity and stamina, or to diminish any inhibitions or performance anxiety. I'm sorry if thats so hard for some people to accept. I've read so many rock star biographies and autobiographies, and numerous published stories and articles about musicians and the music business that paint a very clear picture of the prevalence of drug use in this population. It is what it is. I dont really care. It doesnt make me feel or think any differently about him. At all. [Edited 5/20/17 23:51pm]

There are plenty of people in the music business who never touch drugs, so it not some impossible thing to do. They like to report on the drug stories because that's what sell stories and what people like hearing. Prince was not super man who took heavy drugs for years without it not effecting his life and career. No one gets that lucky. We are not living in a fantasty world. What ever he may have did or did not do can not be compared to what others in the business did, who did more drugs and lived the fast life more hard than he ever did. Prince is an angel compare to some in the business. Many around him said they saw no signs of drug use and I believe them. Prince did not grow up with a silver spoon in his mouth and came for a working class background, you can not knock his hustle and creativity by saying everthing he did was because of drugs. In that case their would be more Princes walking round now but there is not.

Mayte has not lived with Prince for over 10 years! I am sick of people trying to be relevant when they are not. The only people I want to hear from are the ones who saw him Jan 2016 to Apr. 21,2016.

I am done with the female friend, exes etc. I am sick of them because so far most have an agenda or need to be validated by the public of their place with him. Just can't with these anymore.

You do not create a whole show to get response from a family; It is all just wrong.

I can't believe people watch this shit. What's worse is the ones that actually believe it.

Wow this is such garbage... That stupid actor or "doctor" said there was a suicide note found, he was suffering from depression? What garbage.

If you watched closely enough the show shot down the suicide note as no one came forward with it ALSO the Doc shot down anything to do with the Aids talk.....That " Stupid" actor as you described....guess what?? News flash....someone hired him & he had a job to do & did it....overall it certainly was not garbage as some points made sense & seeing Anna Fantastic was Fantastic.

LOL....break down the show's points and/ or watch it instead of making the easy off broad statement...if it was all garbage they would have also ran with the Aids theory....if all of it is garbage lets not forget the song " My Little pill"....all my cares and troubles jump off my window sill everytime I pop my little pill....WHY even do a song like that????

I remember a disagreement I had with someone who did pills & coke during the SOTT/ LoveSexy times...there was a picture of Prince a closeup kind of looking over his shoulder- this person was positive with " no way is he not on something no way" he was positive and would not back down from my " Prince don't do drugs" comments....wrong was I.

I do not want to bash but she creeps me out.She still calls him her husband and they have not been living together for over a decade or more. She celebrates their wedding day . . . and it is really out there. It is extra and please peeps no egg and tomato throwing.

No bashing of her being an exwife- collaborator or whatever else - just my opinion

No she's selling her book.

I watched the first five minutes of it and even that was too much. Watched the Deniro "Bernie Madoff" movie instead...more interesting.

Agree. Just like I find it strange she intentds to address that show. That's why I asked if she had been mentione in it in anyway.
