[Edited 9/28/19 7:50am] I think Prince knew he was not okay, and that he was seriously addicted to the pain meds. He was a smart guy. He knew he was taking heavy doses of the meds. As he lost more and more weight his body could not handle the dosage. His discussions with Dan were just a few months prior to his death. He was not physically well. Did he expect to die on April 21st, 2016? Most likely not, but I think he knew his time was limited based on his addiction. He would never have told anyone, especially a relative stranger like Dan, that he was unwell. Per his Sister (if what she has stated is true) he was even cryptic with her about his situation. * I think his most telling behavior was his re-connecting with many past associates and friends whom he had not seen or spoken to in many years. Also, his open and often emotional communication with the audience on the P&M tour. * Did you mean Prince was the first of so many to die from a fentanyl overdose?? Deaths from Fentanyl OD have been happening for many many years. | |

Looks like many good reads coming soon. I SO wish Prince had had more time to finish what he started. Thanks for the link. | |

A very interesting article - Im interested in a little clarification if anyone knows ..Was the event with 150 people an event to celebrate the signing of a contract with Random House ? - the article does not make it clear whether a contract was signed or not (was it an event without a contract having being signed ?). * The article seems to say Prince had not (yet) signed a contract with Dan or with the publisher Random House (?) and that Prince had a preference for someone connected to his music rather than a publishing house writer. If thats the case and as Prince has passed on (R.I.P) I'm curious (and with all due respect to Dan and RH who no doubt are very professional) - do we know that Prince had 100% decided that it was the correct fit and fully decided to cowrite the memoir with Dan and to publish with RH? Im guessing a contract must have been signed with that event taking place - but if a contract had not been signed - why not?

That is exactly what I was thinking poppys - that's why I found it a bit confusing when it said near the end of the article " a contract had'nt even been signed yet". I guess it would have to have been signed - but why does he say it had'nt been signed? (Its a minor point but its a bit confusing to me)
God Bless Prince

ISLIJAG thank you again for the information - are the court documents publicly available online? or you must be connected with the Estate? Kind regards to you. God Bless Prince

BTW some photos from the book have leaked in the past week. The legality of these embargo-breaching leaks is questionable, so please do not post/link them here. © Bart Van Hemelen

I also have an early copy of the book, I won't spoil anything, but as others who have the book early have posted on Twitter, it's a mix of an uncomplete memoir with a lot of never before seen handwritten images...
It's less of a "memoir" by Prince but more like a mix and a collage of anything or everything personal.
To be honest I wasn't that impressed with this at all. You can see they tried there best to fill in the missing pieces that Prince couldn't finish before his passing. | |

He had just begun writing and planning the book, and was only two months into it. The new pictures and handwritten pieces will be nice to see, but I knew the rest would be someone else’s perspective. | |

I will be buying the book, but am wondering which one to buy. The Dutch translation, or the “original” English one. Both is out of the question after your reaction. I’ll think I’ll go for English..... Produced, Arranged, Composed & Performed by PRINCE
