Wow that is sad. I was never into his music that much when I was younger but my GF at the time, now wife and some friends got tickets to see him in the mid 80s in Tallahassee and I must say..it was one of the more energy filled and great performances I have seen to date. I did not expect that before going. He was a special talent.
The kid next to Tom Petty is George Harrisons son.

NO ONE deserves more respect than Veterans that put their lives on the line that die each and every day!
Why is it that when a famous person passes away it makes the news, but when a common defender of our freedom pass little if any is said?
That is what fame is - being well known.
In the US about 6,600 people die everyday (161,000 worldwide).
I assume 90% of those are good people. They were somebody's relative or friend. Those deaths are mourned by the people who knew them.
With a famous person, people just kind of go "Oh" as a passing thought.
Yes, George Harrisons son looks a lot like him. I watched a special tribute to George Harrison that was done shortly after his death. There were some greats on that stage. I really like the Weeping Guitar song and Horse to Water.

I certainly get that point and often wonder about the millions of people that die every day when I hear about a big deal being made of a celebrity death.
Although I think it is important to note that music has a way of touching people's lives in a way that no other media can. Also, through the power of mass media he was able to touch hundreds of Millions of lives around the world.
I am kind of a neighbor of Princes. I live in a neighboring suburb, less than ten miles away from him. I have driven by his place many times without realizing it. I am not surprised that his death is huge news in the Twin Cities, but I have been very surprised by the level of National and International attention. At the gym tonight it seemed all the news networks were talking about Prince. I drove by Paisley Park on the way home tonight, and saw lots of satellite trucks. I understand there were reporters there from as far away as Japan.

Most with AIDS, especially the well to do, do not die from it in this country. The drugs are very effective in turning it into a chronic but not fatal disease. Statistically, an OD is near the top of the list however.

I believe the autopsy will probably show that he died of "excess" in some shape or form, what other explanation is there for an otherwise healthy, reclusive 57-year old man to be found dead?? I'm reminded of what we used to tell each other when I was younger --- "Burnin' the candle at both ends, twice the light in half the time."

Think that had anything to do with his death?
A great talent. Obit said that he was a practicing Jehovah's Witness for the last 15 years
Think that had anything to do with his death?
No, I would guess the flu and dehydration contributed to his death. Hopefully, his religion comforted him in death.
A great guitarist also who didn't get the credit he deserved for that .
Prince Superbowl Halftime Show
Probably the only halftime show that ever impressed me , it was pouring down rain
video quality is pretty bad there has to be a better version somewhere.

Drugs or AIDs seems most likely.
My wife and our friend were at his final show in Atlanta last Thurs. I have my purple suede shoes on today in honor.

Awesome collaboration! Thank you...I never saw that one before, sad that it takes ones passing to experience some their best work.

More likely an overdose.

You guys are drawing a lot of conclusions, but need to remember Prince was the height and weight of a prepubescent teenager.
So even a bad case of the hiccups could have been fatal.

Based on other things I've read, those two things are likely. I didn't say definitively. Is the truth THAT hard to handle?
I wasn't a fan of his or his music so I'm pretty much indifferent to his passing. I guess that makes me a flawed human.

Either of the stated reasons you gave for his death are (at this point) 100% rumor/conjecture, and 0% truth.

Well he was treated for an OD. Neither may be a sole COD, but could likely be major contributors.
Turn the channel off Fox News and you'll see that nobody else is reporting this except Fox based on TMZ.
Wait for the facts, not TMZ facts reported by Faux News.

Did we ever hear the real facts about how Elvis died?
Elvis pretty much died from living in the fast lane with a bad mix of drugs and alcohol.
It's not that I'm a Prince fan, I just don't think anyone should jump to conclusions when we are likely to get the facts soon.
Why speculate when we have an autopsy being done today?

But I'll give him a R.I.P.
"“Those who sacrifice liberty for security/safety deserve neither.“(Benjamin Franklin)
"I only golf on days that end in 'Y'" (DE59)
His music was a big part of my youth.
He was just so cool and so talented.
I'll never forget his Super Bowl halftime show in the rain----he was a musical and artistic genius.
He was also a humanitarian, philanthropist & a real gentleman.
RIP purple star.

Did we ever hear the real facts about how Elvis died?
Sure. According to his death certificate, Elvis died of heart failure while straining at stool
Opiates cause constipation and Elvis was on the toilet with a rock hard softball sized stool that he couldn't get out.
It happens more than you think with drug abusers.
