I live in the Twin Cities, and this has been covered non stop, all day long. They are now reporting the drug angle, and that the emergency airplane stop several days ago was due to an overdose. So sad. Such talent. Never understood the attraction to drugs.

Just because it is reported doesn't mean it's true. Sometimes, the media is too quick to put out a story without getting all the facts straight first.

His drug overdose from the other day was due to a taking the same meds too close together in time. We often become impatient and think enough time has passed to take another dose especially for the timed released. After his emergency landing, just 2 days ago he went to the pharmacy and picked up some more medication (OTc or script(?) not sure. Also need to be careful of mixing otc and prescription. Not ideal situation. I wasn't crazy about him but I was always so busy working multiple jobs, never got to hear enough of his music to appreciate it. When I've heard some of his songs (snippets), I realize/recognize some but never knew the title or meaning. I'm more background music person.

He was a devoted Jevohah Witness and did not do drugs or alcohol. He was absolutely fabulous to this 70 year old woman. I am not musically inclined though I love music, Prince was immensely talented.

Prince did go to a "different drummer" but he was a brilliant young man. I love "My Little Red Corvette" , he sang. I saw his movie, "Purple Rain,' which was about his childhood and troubled youth. He had a sad home life. Music was his escape. I watched him perform at a Super Bowl and he sang Purple Rain ( which was my favorite song by him) and lo and behold in that huge open stadium, it started raining as he began singing it!! The crowd went wild. It was amazing. I didn't care for all the funky stuff that he did but enjoyed some of his music. I was sad to hear of his passing. May he rest in peace...
