Absolutely hated his music. Rumours are HIV no treatment due to religious beliefs. First of all don't catch HIV, second don't have stupid beliefs, no sympathy sorry. That is if rumours are correct.

No mate its purely speculation on a site I'm following- nothing confirmed and I notice that drugs overdose has been thrown in to the mix.spursgirl_4_life - 22/4/2016 12:37
Did I miss the bit where it has been confirmed that he even had HIV?

How did he catch it ?

Well done. This is the most amount of different ways i've seen one person prove themselves tasteless in a single paragraph.

I doubt it was drugs, not saying he never dabbled (" I've got a lion/line in my pocket and baby, its waiting to roar") BUT he was well known for firing anybody doing drugs in his bands
As Don says he is/was a bonafide genius, a legend, a true star. If you say you dont like his music that's your opinion but you are effectively saying you dont like pop, rock, funk, soul and jazz as he was great at all of them. And dont forget writing other songs like Manic Monday and Nothing Compare 2 U.
One of my most prized possessions is an aftershow show bootleg recording with things like DMSR, a mash up of Parliament and best of all - a truly incandescent version of the Temps Just MY Imagination with a spectacular guitar solo which always, always blows people away. I expect a couple of my DJ mates will be ending their sets with it over the weekend.
I will be retreating into my cellar to crank up several hours of associated Prince tracks tonight.
As for HIV, may be true, may not but God knows he fucked 100s of incredibly fit women. Probably men too - he was LGBT/X long before that irritating term was thought of. So what?
Heard a guy on 5Live this morning who arranged tons of stuff for Prince, he reckons only about a third of his material has been released and that there is loads of awesome instrumental jams (one on my bootleg btw). Word is he has a clause in his Will saying it all gets destroyed on his death which is a real shame. I'd kill for a selection of those!
And I tried and tried when I was in the music biz but I never got to one of his many post show shows in small clubs. He did them all the time, music just coursed thru him - he loved playing and creating more than any other musician I can think of.
