Awesome shot. Thanks for sharing. He didn't look well.

That picture makes me emotional. It honestly hurts my heart. I can't believe he is gone. It feels like a horrible nightmare you can't wake up from. This summer I had a dream he really didn't die and it was all a mistake then I woke up hopeful it was real and realised it was a dream. I miss the feeling of knowing he was here somewhere. Comeback 😔

This must be the energy boost “your friend”. Mistook or misread when she said mayte was “on”.

That is not a picture of someone that is sad about having to cancel a concert. Wonder when he had it made. Wonder if it's the pic he sent Tyka.

He looks sad. I think Denise's passing hurt him deeply more than most want to admit..never noticed the V before last night...it was as if it went through the ceiling and he is standing in the center as if it was all for her.

Krystalkisses said:

you are not alone...

PurpleDiamonds1 said:

Yes, he does look sad...not like he usually looked when the audience was cheering. That concert was his swan song.

It may also be possible someone put the fentanyl in a shot and Prince would not have questioned it thinking it was B-12

Do you mean that night?

He and Mayte got B-12 shots on tour.

Twisting my words won't get you anywhere.

He is out there somewhere. In a way he's still here. He lives on in our memories and his music

Thanks Cat. You are right, it's just some days are harder than others....

That "V" was actually two spotlights shining down on the piano from different angles, spotlighting Prince and the piano. I was at the last two concerts.

It's not a picture of Prince at all, but a piece of artwork. It was posted to his page when he cancelled the concert. But, we had also learned that a long-time employee of the Fox in Atlanta had passed away that same day.

He wasn't sad during the concert. He was laughing and joking with us and carrying on through the concert. He would often smile out at the audience and even got up and did his pimp walk around the piano at one point. That picture is ONE MOMENT in time at the end of the end. It was not reflective of Prince for that entire night.

Did he look ill to you Benni? Did you notice how skinny he was or anything else?

That's good to know from someone who was actually there. As far as the artwork, the artist had to have time to create it...it seems strange that he would have been able to get it to P so quickly after someone just passed. Maybe (because of computers), but I don't know anything about the artist. Is it possible he had it made previously, and used the concert cancellation as an opportunity to put it out there? I realize hindsight is 20/20.

Funny you mention that Penny. After reading some of the latest posts, I was feeling a bit nostalgic myself, so I re-watched the Jan/18 video on YouTube "Prince - Last Year of a Legend" (I'm sure most of you have seen it (www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7x7Osh7sI)). It's so sad to think of everything he accomplished in that last year, and then suddenly he was gone. I was struck though, by how much more frail and ill he looked as the last year progressed. (Yes, I agree Benni - there are clips from those concerts and whether he was ill or not, his music and audience was his lifeblood - it energized him, no question). It did make me wonder again...was he ill? What did he mean by that cryptic tweet when he said something to the effect of "just when you think you're safe". We all know the mechanism of his death - poison, essentially - but I can't help thinking there was something else going on. I suspect we'll never get the answers. What a talent. What a loss.

Was I worried about him during the concert? Yes. He did look extremely thin. And at one point, I thought he looked ill, but it could have been the lighting as well, because when the lighting changed, his color improved.

Not really, because all they added was the tear. The picture itself was the same one as his avatar, just with the added teardrop.

I know Nola, seeing that picture last night was just really hard. He didn't look well.

Yes, that makes sense.

Penny, I mentioned one time before, in another thread not long after he passed, my concern was real. I had mentioned to a friend on the 17th, who was wondering why Prince was suddenly doing these intimate concerts, why he had dedicated the Piano & Mic shows to his dad, why he was writing a memoir, that "Prince is thinking about giving up this mortal coil." After we got the news that he passed, I was talking with that friend and told him, "I take it back!" He told me that I couldn't, and even if I could, it wouldn't change anything.

Later, I was looking through some old emails I had sent him about some dreams I had had, one from December 2016 in which I told him that Prince was going to die, and another, along the same vein from October/November of 2016.

Since you sensed something during the concert, if only for a moment, when you first heard about plane incident, were you as surprised as many of us?
