In April, there was a flurry of cancelled and postponed shows, and then it
was all over the news one day that a charter jet Prince was on had been forced
to make an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois, because he was
“unresponsive.” An ambulance met them on the ground and took him to the
hospital. There were rumors of a drug overdose, rumors that he had AIDS,
rumors that he was suffering a mental breakdown of some kind, and rumors
that all the rumors were just rumors, and it was the flu.
I called Manuela, and she said, “I was told dehydration.”
But we both knew that Prince drank water like crazy. That story didn’t pass the smell test. I was uneasy and frustrated. I had the distinct feeling that
people didn’t want me to have the full story or access to anyone who could
give it to me. I knew what it was like to be inside that isolated circle, so I
knew what it meant to be outside. I saw a notice on Kirk’s Facebook that
there was going to be a party that night at Paisley Park. I clicked a “Like” on
the post, hoping he’d see my name and reach out to me, but that didn’t
happen.
At that party, I’m told, Prince acknowledged everyone’s concern about the
emergency landing and the hospital visit. He made people laugh about it.
He said, “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.”
Six days later, he died.
