Prince's secret spiraled out of control

In this video, we remember Prince Rogers Nelson. It is hard to piece together an in-depth story because Prince was so private that even after a 2-year police investigation they could not find out how our beloved Purple One came to possess the medications that he was taking.
I want to hear your best Prince stories in the comments!
There are no recordings from Prince's final performance, but I've made a playlist on Spotify of the song (minus covers) that he played in Atlanta on April 14, 2016: open.spotify.com/playlist/3uC...

Old guy messes up again. Maybe I'm just too old for the internet! ;-). Two things. First, I drove by Rich Mullins car accident that claimed his life. He had a pretty compelling story and career. Secondly, what about episodes on the unfinished works of artists who died unexpectedly. Allegedly ol' Hank left over 300 songs in various stages of development when he passed. I believe there was a family legal battle between Jr. And Jett over the rights? Speaking of Jr., what about Boxcar Willie? Speaking of ol'Hank, what really happened on "the ride?" And if you come to Bristol to your the Museum of Country Music, we're good for a burger at The Burger Bar, the last place ol'Hank was vertical.

I think it was the son of the addition specialist who made the call. Forgive me if I am incorrect.

This is my second time here.I have subscribed. I was at prince last concert. Yes a prince fan.jumping off that piano and other high places can do a lot of damage. Being in the medical field. I've helped assisted in autopsies seen first hand a lot things that contributed to a person's death. Half what I've heard about prince death I find hard to believe. Seeing that last concert, I attended both concerts, he looked well. He declined to attend the after party. I don't get into Gossip, or hearsay. I appreciate the way you told this. Knowing first hand what opiods can do to the body. Knowing how much a person weight, their diet, help me know when not to give a patient a drug just because they want it. Lot my partners do homeopathic methods. Lit Herbs are natural antibiotics. It's worth researching natural remedies over prescription meds. We will leave it there. Take care. Love,respect and positivity Always. Vee James.

@@TheAppalachianSon first time I went to one his concerts. My mom bought the ticket. It was my birthday and I could only go if my sister went too. She had no idea how extreme his concerts got. He stripped down to his purple under wear. I don't know if I was shocked or excited, probably both. If I wasn't a fan before I was after that. He knew how to perform. I will never forget those early concerts. He was banned from that city.if you have never seen any of his overseas concerts, you missed him at his best. But attending his last concert was special, that was his last. I'm Greatful to have been there. Regardless I was not disappointed. He was quite magical on stage. I've also had the pleasure to attend a few of Michael Jackson's concerts as well. Both prince And Mj was wonderful. Love, respect and positivity Always. Vee James.

What about a series on unfinished works? Clearly Hank was not planning on dying as there have been found 300+ unfinished songs. It would be interesting to find out what was unfinished and what was done with those bodies of works. Also, I drove by the accident scene where Rich Mullins died so if you took a look at him and his life I would be glad. I think you'll find his story most compelling.

You should do Tammy Wynette!

Your telling of what happened to Prince reminded me of the very first episode of Tales From The Crypt. That first episode was titled:"The man who was death. In that particular episode, the main character does the voiceover for some scenes, and a couple of druggies are standing probably 30-40 feet away. He tells us what they are, and he compliments them because of their honesty concerning their addictions. This guy tells the audience:"Look over there... they're a couple of addicts. They'll do anything, just to be able to shoot a little death into their bodies. They tease death...they taunt it". He then insults them for being addicts. If we're not careful, we could fall into the very same trap, that those addicts...or that even Prince...fell into! If you mess with drugs, you might as well be playing with a Viper! It'll still get ya in the end!

I think he faked his death. That's just my opinion.
