Only into the 4th month & we've lost so many big names.

And wwe wrestler Chyna too it's getting like a who's next to go

oops think I was a year out on Sledge--came up as the article below Princes.

Like most pop 'artists'. They die better than they sing.

We'll see a lot more die too. It's all to do with the baby boom after the War, As a generation that produced so much talent across so many different genres, i.e Music, Movies, TV, Sports etc, now it's around the time when the earliest achievers are getting into their 60's 70's and even 80's.
A pity but true.

Did you see Boy George's comment "today is the worst day ever" - grow up Boy George!

Gosh....they had him cremated quickly. Taking 3 weeks or so here.

The Conspiracy Theory peeps are already out on that one Fish!

Not sure but if he was of the the Muslim religion. If so he would
have to be washed (cleaned) and buried or cremated within 24 hrs.
Feel sad........such a loss.

Have a look at deathlist. Net, a bit ghoulish but interesting nevertheless.

He was a Jehovah witness so it what they do, that is why they needed to ask the family if it was ok to do an blood/skin test and an autopsy

Prince 'was diagnosed with AIDS six months before he died and refused treatment because he believed God would heal him

(CNN)Music legend Prince died of an opioid overdose, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported Thursday, citing a source familiar with the investigation into the singer's death.
Prince, whose full name was Prince Rogers Nelson, died April 21 at the age of 57, after being found unresponsive in an elevator at Paisley Park, his home and recording studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota.

Paramedics performed CPR but were unable to revive him, authorities said. An autopsy was conducted the day after his death but official results have not been released.
Opioids and overdoses: 4 things to know
Since then, information has emerged about the entertainer's alleged abuse of prescription drugs.
An attorney for Prince's half-siblings said they revealed the singer had an addiction to Percocet decades before he died. One half-sibling said Prince started using the drug to help him deal with the rigors of performing, not for recreational use.
A law enforcement source told CNN that investigators found prescription opioid medication on him and in his Minnesota home.
Opioid history: From 'wonder drug' to abuse epidemic
The day before Prince died, his team called an eminent opioid addiction specialist in California seeking urgent help for the singer, an attorney working for the specialist and his son said.
The specialist, Dr. Howard Kornfeld, couldn't get there immediately so he sent his son, Andrew Kornfeld, on an overnight flight to Minnesota. The goal was for the younger Kornfeld to help evaluate Prince's health and encourage him to enter treatment for pain management and potential addiction issues, attorney William Mauzy told reporters.

But by the time Andrew Kornfeld arrived at the singer's Paisley Park complex on the morning of April 21, it was too late. He and two Prince representatives found the 57-year-old entertainer unresponsive in an elevator. Andrew Kornfeld was the person who called 911, Mauzy said.
Authorities have also said the probe into Prince's death is a criminal investigation. It was not immediately clear if Kornfeld is the subject of a separate investigation.
Federal prosecutors and the Drug Enforcement Administration are investigating how Prince obtained prescription medications and from whom, the agencies said.

Clean living jw with aids.....never !
He may have refused treatment as a jw if it involved blood. Seems a bit ironic wouldnt have blood that might prolong his life but pumps opiates into himself.....unless he was trying to find pain relief.
Sort of reassuring when someone same age dies that it seems to be self inflicted.

Seems to mirror Michael Jacksons death.
