If you're rich I always assumed you would get access to quality drugs and will have people around to make sure you don't overdose

Word was some holistic healer claimed to have cured him and by the time he realized he wasnt in fact cured no drugs would save him. Prince was super into religious poo poo so its believable.

The problem with this is, he'd been a Jehovah's Witness for quite a while now, wouldn't he have refused to start taking it to begin with, if his religion didn't allow it?

Everything I've read or heard about Prince suggested a massively insecure man who always wanted/needed to be right and have things his way. And as a rule, people who feel that way tend to act as though education is a waste of time. Unless it feeds directly into their built-in biases, of course. Scientology would be another good example of that.

Right but there's two mitigating factors there: One, MJ never stopped, which proved to be his undoing (that and some world class quackery), whereas the story suggests Prince DID stop, and two, Michael seemed to have investment as a person in more than one religion, as I remember him supposedly being into the Kabalah, as well.

quote:

April 16, 2016: MediaTakeOut.com just received word that a VERY popular African-American celebrity - who has recently been in the news - now has what is being described as AIDS. Obviously since we are not able to 100% confirm the story - we're going to leave it as a Blind Item. We want to make it clear we are NOT talking about Magic Johnson.

This report REALLY hurt our heart.

According to a person EXTREMELY CLOSE to the situation, the celebrity, who is known for having a very EXTREME sexual past reportedly contracted the illness sometime in the 1990s. He kept the illness quiet but began taking his medication RELIGIOUSLY up until about two years ago. Here's what we're told by a VERY trusted entertainment insider:

[The celebrity] believed that he was cured, and he had some crazy [religious] people who told him that God cured him. So he stopped taking his medication and the sickness came back. Now doctors say he's dying, and there is nothing anyone can do about it."

We're told that the celebrity is expected to get sicker and sicker, and eventually pass. It can happen as soon as the summer.

Very sad news.

I don't think I've listened to Prince at all, because I'm not 100 years old. Could be wrong though (about the not having listened to Prince before).
