Prince RIP

Post by Bruv »

The hugely popular, acclaimed and influential musician Prince has died at his home in Minnesota at the age of 57.

They seem to be dropping like flies.

'Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called life' - Prince

Another sad day, I remember Purple Rain hitting the charts, I still love it now, along with Raspberry Beret.

RIP Prince.

Drug agency 'probes Prince death' - BBC News

I've not seen any mention yet of whether he employed the services of a doctor among his entourage but I suspect, if he did, the doctor is in hot water.

His doctor was at his last concert in Atlanta, as he told the audience to give thanks to this person.

Looks like the doctor, then, is in 'hot water' according to Mr. spot ! I would like to know why that would be, Mr. spot. :confused:

I merely wondered whether there was one in the Superstar's entourage. If there was, and the chap died from prescription drug complications, the doctor will be facing a whole lot of criticism. Maybe there wasn't one. Maybe the present talk of prescription drug complications will turn out to be phantoms. And maybe the world still remembers Michael Jackson's dodgy flirtation with analgesic sedatives.

That's why I only wondered instead of commented. We'll find out in a while and then we'll know. The thing about "if" is that it's speculative, it allows statements to be made which are contingent on circumstance. Powerful word, "if".

Join some more dots, shall we?

Prince died of an opioid overdose [...]

Prescription painkillers were in the singer's possession following his death [...]

Dr Michael Schulenberg prescribed medication to the singer on 20 April - the day before he died [...]

The parallels with Michael Jackson seem to be emerging. Have we now filled in all the "ifs", Gill? Have I left any unanswered? Which of my "ifs" is still open to question?

US singer Prince died from an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl, medical examiners have found. The report, from the Midwest Medical Examiner's Office in Minnesota, comes more than a month after the singer was found slumped in a lift at his home.

"We knew it was only a matter of time; we had to get down," Hill said. The plane made an emergency landing in Illinois, where they were met by an ambulance. Prince was given a shot of Narcan a treatment often used for opioid overdoses, while on the tarmac.
