You cannot overstate what a brilliant and influential musician Prince was. If you didn't like him, fine. If you say he sucked you're stupid and wrong.

Well said - A true, once in a generation talent for performing, writing, and generating high quality music for decades.

Purple Rain was okay. Everything else Prince did was weird and dumb.

Price released like 8 really good albums in the 70's and 80's (really sign o the times was the last fantastic one) besides producing a poo poo ton of good musicians.

A plane he was on had to do an emergency landing recently because he was sick. I'm guessing he was in much worse shape than we knew.

AIDS maybe?

It could have been anything. Jehovah’s Witnesses have some non-conventional ideas about medical care.

We 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 2 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.

This is kinda creepy - from 4 days ago:

https://www.tmz.com/2016/04/17/prince-dance-party-paisley-park-photo/

quote:

Prince showed everyone he's on the mend Saturday, showing up at $10 dance party.

TMZ broke the story, Prince's private plane made an emergency landing early Friday after a concert in ATL and His Purpleness was rushed to the hospital. His people later told TMZ he was battling the flu.

We're told Prince wanted people to have living proof he's still living, so he showed up at around midnight at Paisley Park near his Minnesota home and showed off his new guitar and piano.

He didn't sing, but told the crowd, "Wait a few days before you waste any prayers."

He knew
