Prince was a man of great respect as a person that listen to his music he told a story and things happen he wrote these songs before it happen he will truly be missed not just by me but so many others he was one of the greatest of great my prayers go out to his family but he will always be in my Heart.
Speak for yourself. Just because some people liked some of his music doesn't mean he was a man of great respect in many people's opinion. He was bi-sexual & a drug addict, not to mention all the other weird things that people said he was in his private matters, orgies, etc. What type of person do you consider non-respectable? How low can we go?
Another over medicated star! People addicted to pain pills well do anything and tell there doctor anything to get relief. It's not their fault. Doctors need to be held accountable for inabling them. I get it, money makes you see things differently. It's not hard to find a doctor that well right a prescription for the right price. The doctors and pharmaceutical companies are getting rich and people are dying. PRINCE WAS HUMAN
TMZ uncoverd something and now the police and lawyers are trying to cover it up cause the DEA is the most corrupt of them all. So now they will say Prince was a junkie and that will be that.
Another brilliant talent gone because of drugs, see the surprise on my face. What would really be news is if an artist died of natural causes. I liked his music, but it's a senseless loss.
If it was a drug overdose he more than likely had an addiction. I'm not trying to judge, just stating the obvious. Millions of us have chronic pain and suffer with addiction.
I can't judge because I don't know him personally, most of us don't. I know being famous is very hard on superstars and it would be so easy to think "oh well, they asked for it" when in fact these talented people are just following their heart and their dreams. Fame and fortune is tough on most, I think.
But... Addiction is addiction. period. addiction is a disease. It is no respecter of persons. Death due to overdose of prescription is a vicious beast that has claimed too many people world wide, as we all know full well.
Not all, but a lot of doctors prescribe narcotics irresponsibly, just trying to get patients to leave them alone. I've seen it. I'm in the medical field. Some people also mix with their illegal stash but a lot don't.
Of course a lot of us want the media to let him and others like him rest in peace.... but we know they won't. There's too much money to be made from the scandal.
Thank you, Kathryn, well said. I detest how the media won't let anyone rest in peace...got to make a scandal out of everything. Thank you for not judging him.
Michele....Stephen is right and the media is reporting the death of another famous junkie that has been a JUNKIE for years and not an accidental over dose...it finally caught up with him....get over the death of a brainless moron...!!!!!!
"Millions of us have chronic pain and suffer with addiction." and also millions suffer from chronic pain, take meds are do not suffer with addiction....
Kathryn, Pain meds are not an addiction if your body needs it to combat severe chronic pain. It is a necessity for many pain sufferers to just be able to move without falling over in pain, and just crying Dr.s, and Nurses have a severe lack of knowledge of what real pain is. Many Dr.s, and Nurses too, get what's known as the "God" complex, they think that they are all knowing, but really they can't see past their own nose, to see the truth. It is no surprise that you are in the Medical field
First of all idiot- you do not choose to have cancer- however you do choose to take illegals drugs or prescription drugs. Either way they are both drugs and if you do them long enough, you will get addicted.
It is very alarming that Americans have such a voracious appetite for drugs. While many are addicted to prescription painkillers , $50 billion of illegal drugs, from marijuana , cocaine and heroin, enter the US across our southern border. The drugs come here and 50 billion in US dollars goes back to Mexico each year. When considering a presidential candidate, we would be wise to vote for someone who will enforce our sovereignty, laws and close our border to illegal aliens and the drugs they bring.
Don't throw marijuana into the mix of the other hard drugs you listed in your comment. Street drugs that start on the streets are brought on by the ignorant all by themselves. Weed should be legal at the age of 21. Medicinal marijuana should be legal NOW. IF physicians are continuing to prescribe Percocet with no limitations, they are the murderers. Michael Jackson's doctor "killed" Michael with the unlimited usage and Michael not be monitored while the "doctor" sat in another room using his cell phone.
Alcohol abuse is a bigger problem, especially compared to Marijuana which has a lot of medical benefits. and yet it's illegal, and alcohol is not. Go figure th lack of sense that went into that decision.
Many of my friends are on mood-lifting drugs because of "depression" or painkillers of one kind or another. Life was never supposed to be a cake walk, deal with it. I don't even like taking aspirin. I'm a terrible patient, I only take prescribed medicine until I feel better. I doubt I'll ever O.D. on anything!
This comment is not to degrade his character more so to point out that the family or media or both have suppressed the information for reasons we don't know. It doesn't take two weeks for a drug autopsy. Where did they send his body to be examined, Tunisia? I speculate that this is all about trying to tidy up his life so that people can honor his death, then the full truth begins to pour out, then the movie deals begin. I don't watch movies about celebrity deaths, never have. I think they should just have the funeral and let it go. Let the dead take care of the dead. Let's remember and live with the mark he made on the music world.
I'm sorry but I'm just not concerned why or how he did.I respect anyone that feels the need for this information.Im speaking of the media insatiable need for a story.I don't think they care one way or another about what the public wants.I have an odd way of dealing with death.I accept it as a part of life.Rather its to soon,unexpected or what have you.I just except the fact that people live and then they die sometimes.
In my mind whether or not this man, this musician, this talent, had "problems" or not is completely unimportant. He's music touched many lives and many music genre's. His music has influenced much of the music and musicians that we all listen to daily.
The lifestyle can be destructive. I lost my first when Joplin and Hendricks died. (Yes, I'm older than dirt.)
We should not concern ourselves with the often gruesome end, but should instead rejoice and remember the joy they brought to us.
And Prince would agree with you based on his 1999 interview with Larry King - which is totally mesmerizing. That was the day I fell in love with "the Artist" Prince.
Reality is just a fact, don't glorify drug abuser in any way at all ever. As the facts are revealed again we shall see how greedy doctors kill people for the sake of money.
Hope they took pictures of the body before he was cremated. Did someone plant the pain killers on him? Were there any bruises on the body? Were they trying to destroy evidence when they had him cremated?
What's new?!? "He died a drug dependent entertainer??" Are you serious?? The ignorance of some people is unbelievable. Unless you can back up what you've said, #$%$.
rip but something deep in my gut told me his death was similar to Michael Jacksons. just like anybody else, drugs are an epidemic in America now or days, but yet you get the rock star celebs who have all this money that just want to stay screwed up in the head, saying how it helps them. when just like how history repeats itself, it got the best of them. that's his fault
Is this what they were referring to with the "following criminal investigation" line about releasing cause of death information? Must be hoping to nail a scrip merchant, without that information, it seemed odd they would be looking to charge Prince with something.
Looks to me like Prince had been getting prescription pain killers on the street without a prescription. Then he went to a Dr and got a prescription because he was having a medical problem. The Drs prescription drug and the street bought prescription drugs did not mix well.
No charges are going to be brought against anybody.
It's just another guy that died. Yes he was talented and I respect his music,but he's no diffferent that anyone else. Let it go for a while, media outlets.
