Prince's health in relation to his level of activity Since the passing of Prince, alot of interesting anecdotes have come to light about Prince's overall work ethic. This man lived to create and perform music. However, after reading Sheila E.'s book, where she explained the physical issues she experienced after playing with and for Prince, it made me wonder about the toll it took on him. Prince probably worked longer and harder than his band members or the acts he produced; he was kinda like the wizard of oz(for lack of a better example), in that behind the scenes, he controlled all aspects of the creation and performance of his art. One can only speculate and imagine the specifics of his physical condition due to over 30 years of constant activity. He had to have been living with an almost insane amount of pain, which of course lead to his use of pain meds. I may be stating the obvious to my fellow fams, but this part of the narrative on Prince's life should definitely become a more prominent aspect in the discussion of his passing and the subsequent reason why. | |

Sheila E's book came out in 2014 and she was very concerned about his constant working and very candid about her on physical problems from working to hard. | |

. Did you read the Lisa Coleman interview I posted? She described him as an acrobat. Not only a dancer. Welcome to "the org", laytonian… come bathe with me. |

She was in a haraum and did not really want to be in it. 2) Worked insane hours that caused her back pain and injuries. 3) Owed a million dollars to his rip off managers 4) Lived with Prince for a while but could not take the constant activities at his home with musicians and recordings going on at all hours. Got her own place because sometimes they got on each other's nerves and needed a break from each other. 5) Asked her to marry him and things were good for a year and then he went back to chasing women. | |

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves. | |
