MSNBC reporting coroner conducting autopsy tomorrow. If under treatment for AIDS, or known to be quite ill with AIDS after previously having undergone treatment, generally a treating doctor is available to sign a death certificate, and there would be no autopsy. |

If that is the case it changes nothing. Drug addiction is as insidious a disease as anything. It only makes me sad that there are people out there who will undoubtedly use it to denigrate him. As if it somehow makes him lesser. |
Yup, how he died is moot, dont/wont mean a thing (to most) to me. Won't change a thing, he was human. A brief encounter & his music bring back great memories for me. Always singing along when his music comes on Watching him play the guitar, was sheer artistry. Truly a musical treasure that Minnesota shared with the world. Back in college in the 80s, the bars final song of the night 80% of the time was Purple Reign His music will live on till the end of time.

Favorite Prince songs:
1. Purple Rain.

3. I Would Die 4 U
4. Kiss
5. Savior
6. When Doves Cry
7. The Beautiful Ones

And a special mention of "Nothing Compares 2 U". He wrote it for Sinead O'Conner, but I he covered it a few times in concerts that I went to. Not sure if he ever released an official cover or not. But when he sang it, U knew it was his song.

I don't consider myself a Prince aficionado. I just know he basically put Minneapolis on the music and pop culture map. I like pop myself, so his material from about 1983-1987 hit the sweet spot for me. I consider Raspberry Beret to be one of his catchiest songs. I really like Kiss. I like the whole Purple Rain album. Trying to rank the songs is pretty meaningless to me. I could love one song in a certain moment or circumstance and then it could change to something else later.

I put up video of his last concert in Target Center on YouTube, and that was taken down quickly. That was about 9 years ago. Maybe things will loosen up in that regard. I hope so.

TMZ is now reporting that Prince was treated for percocet OD in his ER visit, not dehydration as first reported.
