Wow. I was shocked to hear it. He was supposedly a very health-conscious guy; vegetarian, avoided drugs, etc.

I feel a real sense of loss. His music was fantastic. He was a great musician.:(

This past Saturday, Prince appeared at a Paisley Park dance party, where he reassured fans about his health status. The singer has often performed shows for the public at the studio.

"Wait a few days before you waste any prayers," he said, according to The New York Daily News.

The source had told E! News that earlier this week, Prince was supposed to meet up with a few people for dinner but canceled and said he was still not feeling well and he needed to reschedule.

Another source said the singer "has been sick since his plane had to have an emergency landing," adding, "He was very religious and adamant about not taking any sort of medication."

Prince also had epilepsy.

"I've never spoken about this before but I was born epileptic and I used to have seizures when I was young and my mother and father didn't know what to do or how to handle it, but they did the best they could with what little they had," he said on the PBS show Tavis Smiley in 2009. "My mother told me one day, I walked in to her, and said, 'Mom, I'm not gonna be sick anymore' and she said, 'Why?' and I said, 'Because an angel told me so.'"

"Now, I don't remember saying it, that's just what she told me," he said. "And from that point on I've been having to deal with a lot of things—getting teased a lot in school and you know, early in my career, I tried to compensate for that by being as flashy as I could and as noisy as I could."

I was shocked when I heard the news, I can't say I was his biggest fan, but "Purple Rain" is brilliant.

Even though I've been watching the news since I found out on Facebook, I still
can't believe it. I was shocked and saddened by the news..............saddest day.
I grew up on his music since he emerged on the music scene in the 70s.

RIP Prince

Art is a cry of distress from those who live out within themselves the destiny of humanity. Inside them turns the movement of the world; only an echo of it leaks out – the work of art.
-- Arnold Schoenberg, 1910.

Dianna Theadora Kenny, a professor of psychology and music at the University of Sydney, found that the late 50s and early 60s are the years the artists in her database were most likely to die. Kenney analyzed the deaths of over 12,000 popular musicians between the years of 1950 and 2014.

I remember seeing that a while back. It doesn't make Prince look very good, does it?

Oh, well. Everyone's different.

Because the vast majority of singers, actors, and performers are non-neurotypicals that are somewhere on the autism spectrum (yes, I include gays in this group) and the average life expectancy for this group is around 60. Whether through inherent genetic weakness, or drugs taken to quell anxiety or boredom, they tend to knock off about then. It's also why they get cancer so much, because the very connective tissue that forms the differences in brain structure also creates weaknesses in the structure of the body.

I also have a speculation that people with a square tip on the end of their nose are prone to strange illnesses, like Robin Williams, Michael J Fox, Billy Connoly all had it and they all had Parkinson's. Brigit Fonda has it and she has a hole in her heart. Megan Fox has it and she has OCD and clubbed thumbs and I'm sure other things will show up later...

Doctors have speculated that the formation of the brain in utero can affect formation of facial features and that illnesses can be detected by certain facial features. I'm sure the Gov't has a program for facial feature/genetic defects because how useful would THAT be to exploit that for your own purposes....
