Thank you herb4 and Bodhittheblackdog for chiming in here. Some days i wonder if i'm the crazy one, but you remind me of the true craziness that has taken over the org. The saddest part with some orgers and posters here is that they don't realize its because of people like them and their attitudes that prevent people like Prince getting the help they desperately need and want. The fierce denial here that Prince struggled with addiction is glaring proof how despicable they find such a condition. The ignorance is mind-blowing. I'm heartbroken that his "fans" would get in the way of what he needed to survive. Instead he and so many others battling substance abuse live in fear of being found out. They fear the humiliation and ostracizing. They fear losing their jobs, their homes, their families, their friends, their fans, THEIR EVERY REASON TO EXIST. Think about this: It was announced this evening on the national news that OPIOID OVERDOSES ARE NOW THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICANS UNDER AGE 50. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

I'm not saying he didn't have other health issues. He was 57 years old after all. But let's not forget something: what was the treatment being sought for him at the time of his death? What condition urgently needed medical care at that very moment? What ailment was of greatest concern? If you are willing to believe he suffered ill effects from years of opiate use what are we doing here? Technically we all agree then he was a substance abuser. The how's, why's, where's, and when's are of no interest to me. But there are those who need someone or something else to blame for what happened. It can't be his fault. That's the only way to accept it. It's just too bad you can't work it out on your own rather than at the expense of the org and its other members. The last 14 months have been ugly. I apologize for my involvement and need to try harder to stay out of these threads. I feel bad if his fans are a reflection of him because he deserves better. It's a hurtful place, the world, in and of itself. We don't need to add to it. We all need one another. ~ PRN | |

I have said before I think he took the pills to treat himself physically and emotionally. Jennifer Matesa, whom I respect, is a recovering addict - she used doctor-prescribed Fentanyl for years. She called Prince a junkie early on; she said that was not meant with malice, but that as a fellow user she could understand what he had gone through and why he was using. She called herself a junkie. So we have to accept that he was using for a long time, but also accept the possibility that he had other medical and emotional issues which contributed to the need for these drugs. | |

Someone thinks there are see the following.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwegians
Norwegians (Norwegian: nordmenn) are a Germanic ethnic group native to Norway.[11][12][13][14] They share a common culture and speak the Norwegian language. Norwegian people and their descendants are found in migrant communities worldwide, notably in the United States, Canada, Australia, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, New Zealand, United Kingdom and South Africa.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nordic_countries The Nordic countries or Nordics[1] are a geographical and cultural region in Northern Europe and the North Atlantic, where they are most commonly known as Norden (lit.: The North). They consist of Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden, including the associated territories of Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Åland Islands.
I was pretty sure I did not make this word up.

Norwegians are people from Norway. The Norwegian language is very similiar to swedish (spoken in Sweden) and danish (spoken in Denmark). Anyway - last time Prince played in Norway was in 2011. The wooh is on the one! | |

You knew what she meant. Why make a big deal out of this? Aren't we here for a bigger reason than semantics? | |

Aids, cancer, hep c, physical or emotional pain, it was illicit drugs that killed him. He was addicted to opioids and that is sad. Kirk did not murder him and I'm happy that is not being tossed around lightly anymore. Hope you people who jumped to this ridiculous conclusion and argued about it feel bad.

It is hard for me to believe what I am writing here, but maybe he - in that moment - just like Chris Cornell - in that moment - he was just "done." Do you know what I mean? He had no one. He was a bank to essentially everyone in his circle. He was getting older. Maybe the music wasn't spilling out of him like it had before. His popularity outside of his core fanbase was pretty much non-existent. Everything he had worked for and lived for seemed to be falling away. And there might have been medical issues, on top of drug use. [Edited 6/21/17 4:21am] | |

His popularitiy outside of his core base was not non-exsistent. In fact Live Nation was begging him to a big tour like Musicology because they belived he could top the 100 million mark. Remember Prince was the one that went off to do one off shows and the festival circuit after Musicology which I now belive had to do with joint pain and his inability to do a long 100 city type show.
Remember Scott the engineer said Prince was experiencing a lot of pain on the Musicology tour.

I would like to post the actual screen shots and I am waiting for one of the mods to give me some instruction on how to get the screen shots on the board. If I cannot do that I will go ahead and provide the link but this is from a Facebook page and the group is closed. You will not see anything unless you joint the group.

Nobody feels bad for KJ but you Meron. The police from their own comments do not believe a word out of his mouth so why should anyone else? | |
