Indeed.


"Entertainment Tonight" co-host Kevin Frazier said on "CBS This Morning" Friday that Prince had hip replacement surgery in 2010 and also had issues with his ankles.

"People close to Prince tell me he struggled with painkillers due to his hip and ankle issues," Frazier said, noting that for Prince to cancel a performance, as he did this month, "something was drastically wrong."

"The hip and ankle issues were a problem for him for so long," Frazier said, "and for a man who loved to move and dance so much, it really bothered him."

What could the ankle issues have been caused by? His affinity for wearing high heels? Or him playing basketball?

[viking1]

Dancing for hours in high heels, with heavy stage acrobatics, led to his hip problems.

Kai better be careful.  Right babe??



Yup.

Chillin' listening to Chuck D's radio show. A nice tribute to Prince tonight. 

One of His Royal Badness' great underrated songs. 

Lyrics:
One more card and it's twenty two
Unlucky for him again
He never had respect for money it's true
That's why he never wins
That's why he never ever has enough
To treat his lady right
He just pushes her away in a huff
And says 'Money don't matter to night'

Money don't matter to night
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday,
And it sure don't matter to night

Look, here's a cool investment
They're tellin' him he just can't lose
So he goes off and tries to find a partner
But all he finds are users (users)
All he finds are snakes in ever color
Every nationality and size
Seems like the only thing he can do
Is just roll his eyes, and say that

Money don't matter to night (don't matter)
It sure didn't matter yesterday
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright (soul's alright)
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday, (don't matter)
And it sure don't matter to night

Hey now, maybe we can find a good reason
To send a child off to war
So what if we're controllin' all the oil,
Is it worth a child dying for? (is it worth it?)
If long life is what we all live for
Then long life will come to pass
Anything is better than the picture of the child
In a cloud of gas
And you think you got it bad

Money don't matter to night (no, don't matter)
It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday)
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright (make certain that your soul's alright)
'Cause money didn't matter yesterday,
It sure don't matter to night

Money don't matter to night
It sure didn't matter yesterday (yesterday, yesterday)
Just when you think you've got more than enough
That's when it all up and flies away (flies away, flies away)
That's when you find out that you're better off
Makin' sure your soul's alright
Money didn't matter yesterday,
And it sure don't matter to night

One of his best.

[Bevo]

Flex is an idiot! He should have been dead years ago

[PJim]

The correct answer is 1999!  The others were good too, but he did his best work with the Revolution as his band.  I can't wait to hear his posthumous albums.  There was a period when he was writing a song and day and recording a new song a week.  He supposedly has a vault of several albums worth of music that has never been released.  That could be some good stuff.  Bay likey! 

We'll agree to disagree.

[devilsmile]

am i the only one who doesn't give a fuck about prince or cyane or who or why or how?

TMZ

Prince had OD'd on Percocet days before his death, and he ingested so much, EMTs had to administer a "save shot" at the airport where his plane made an emergency landing to save his life.
Sources in Moline, Illinois tell TMZ, Prince's entourage told responders he had taken the painkiller after his Atlanta concert which triggered the emergency.  Percocet is a painkiller which contains a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone, an opioid. It is highly addictive.
We're told Prince was taking painkillers for a hip problem. We're told he had corrective surgery for his hips around 2010.


As we reported, Prince went to his local Walgreens 4 times in the week leading up to his death. We got a photo of Prince in the parking lot of the Walgreens hours before he died. Witnesses say he was pacing and agitated, waiting for someone to bring out his meds.
 

Amazing he would even waste his time with percs and not use oxy's or H for that matter.

[Board_SHERIF]

LOL at Prince was an Icon...

Icons are Elvis, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Fleetwood Mac etc...

Other than a few songs his music was shite..
Good guitar player, maybe ranked somewhere between 15 - 20 range, not a top tier guitar player

Far from an icon...

Bay,

since you are very observant I was wondering your thoughts on Prince's true sexuality...

heterosexual?
homosexual?
bi-sexual?
asexual?

Believe it or not I do not have aggressive thoughts on most people's sexuality; it is not something I  think about.  I have never seen Prince posing in a thong to an audience of cheering men or offering private posing sessions to fans.

What are your thoughts on Prince's "true sexuality"?  I'm assuming you have some since you pose the question.

Yeah, says some random guy on a Message Board. The dude was his own genre of music. A few songs? He had an whole catalog.

Here's a couple from the catalog.

[Rudee]

From what I have been reading, Prince hasn't been the same since his former love Vanity died in Feb, at the same age of 57.

[oldschoolfan]

sherif prince was one of the most talented musicians that ever lived


he could play every intrument fluently,  and he wrote and produced all his own music

[Chadwick The Beta]

Vanity was saved.  Don't know about Prince.

[SilverSpoon]

I think his best album was Dirty Mind.

Just my opinion.

And Prince "Prince" is awesome.

You are in a very small minority when it comes to your assessment of Prince's musical talent.

Dude was a good bass player.

I think he is straight but likes to blur the lines in his act as asexual.

PS my question was not made nor meant as an insult.
