Reached at the hotel lobby, Darling Nikki had no comment.

Was he ever into drugs? I never was into him but he sure seemed weird, but then again a lot of people think I'm weird.

Drugs indeed.
Some kind of opiates, but then we have to wait for the autopsy.
In Illinois six days before, the doctor knew what he had.
Strange how he just collapsed in an elevator at Paisley Park.

He canceled a concert, felt guilty, then made it up.
He had the flu for some time.

Pretty weird. At his last concert in Atlanta he just played the piano but got rave reviews. Usually he would play the guitar.

His memoir was going to come out next year.

Damn over prescribed medications. Shows what a futile waste the war on drugs is.

Someone saw him in a Wahlgreens staring at prescription drugs in Minnesota.

He would wear heals since he was short and could have been in pain before.
It sounds like what happened to Michael Jackson.
But who knows? The results won't come out for some time.

I don't think anyone saw this one coming.

I'm just curious. What do you mean by "staring at prescription drugs"?

In my experience, you don't see prescription drugs until the pharmacist hands them to you, at which point, there's no need to stare at them, you just leave the store and go home to take them.

Can't remember. Staring at something in the drug store.
One customer thought he was acting weird.

His drug dealer said he would spend up to 40,000 bucks per year on prescription medication. That was on Fox News.

'Weird' is an understatement.

The Arizona Republic reported that Prince was awake for 154 hours before his death.
That is crazy. What is that, seven days with no sleep?
Plus he had opiates on his person (in a pocket, I guess).
It just gets weirder and weirder.

Bro the opiates that are killing Americans are legal. The dramatic appreciation in deaths due to opiates is due to legal drugs, not illegal. God damn low information liberals please, please just watch tv and go away.

Yes, I know. Hence, it shows what a futile waste the war on drugs is. Didn't think it was that complicated.

I'm guessing you are trolling with that statement, just trying to get a rise, cuz otherwise it makes no sense.

A doctor on CNN said the feeling of having the flu is just a withdrawal symptom.
What kind of opiate could this be?
Is it like heroin?
