April 21, 201610 yr 5'2 was his height. I knew he was short, but not that small. Was a stagehand for one of his shows at the Riverfront Coliseum, he had a rider in his concert contract that no one was allowed to stand next to him. BTW, BEST show I ever saw......dude could flatout perform!!!!

April 21, 201610 yr Early speculation is complications from AIDS. I'm not going to lie. The first thing I thought of was Eazy E with someone being hospitalized and dying so quickly.
April 21, 201610 yr I am stunned. This doesn't feel real. After seeing the thread title I was expecting to find after reading a few posts that it was just a false rumor. Unbelievable. Then it dawned on me that Prince has died on the Queen's birthday.
April 21, 201610 yr Definitely a shocker...such a gifted musician. No cause as of yet but in 2009 Prince gave an interview- What prompted the flashy, eccentric persona that helped make Prince a king of the music world? The singer reveals he was compensating for a painful childhood struggle with epilepsy. "I've never spoken about this before but I was born epileptic," the reclusive singer told PBS's Tavis Smiley in an interview Monday night. "I used to have seizures when I was young. My mother and father didn't know what to do or how to handle it but they did the best they could with what little they had." Prince also cites divine intervention for helping him cope with his epilepsy. "My mother told me one day I walked in to her and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to be sick anymore,' and she said 'Why?' and I said 'Because an angel told me so.' Now, I don't remember saying it, that's just what she told me." Prince Talks about His Struggle with Epilepsy - Health, Prince : People.com
