    I didn't say it was a big deal. I just don't really get the phenomenon, either. That's it. Not a big deal.

    Trendy. People love to get on the bandwagon.

    What's this about a hospital not willing to give Prince his own room that he wanted when doctors wanted him to stay for 24 hours after his supposed Percocet overdose? They said no...so he left.

    In retrospect, it seems kind of silly to not accommodate the request. Hospital policy?

    Who knows whether that played any part in his death?

    That 24 hours under observation might have been a life saver.

    One of the most famous/greatest guitar rifts ever.

    RIP to a LEGEND. Awesome music skills and at 5'2'' pulled some of the baddest women ever. Prince defined greatness and uniqueness (although, at times, he did seem suspect).

    Symbol looks like a guitar and trumpet.

    This is completely out of left field, but Dick Harmon suddenly died from pneumonia around the same age.

    From what I'm hearing is that the hospital might not be very large and didn't have a private room available. I don't think you can expect them to kick out an existing patient just to accommodate a celebrity's desire for privacy.

    Moline is a pretty small city by plane it also isn't that far from Minneapolis. If they couldn't accommodate him there I'm wondering why when Prince got to the Twin Cities he didn't check himself into one of the many hospitals here?

    Didn't realize Prince was responsible for the synthesizer part on this amazing piece of music:

    In retrospect, it seems pretty stupid of Prince to leave the hospital just because they couldn't give him a private room. His diva mentality might have cost him his life.

    Prince may have died from drug interaction or an OD after that "save shot". However, 30+ years of heavy drug use as this guy describes would have left NOTICEABLE signs and his organs would've failed long ago. No way someone can live that long with the heavy drug use that guy describes.

    But u saw that drug use on Keith Richards. you can tell he has led a "hard" lifestyle. Prince looked 20 years younger than he was.
