This article talks about the epilepcy. It's never been known according to this article if he dealt with it later in life. It sounds like it was something he dealt with when he was younger.

Prince has died aged 57. The legendary singer was found dead in a lift at his famous Paisley Park mansion in Minnesota , days after his plane was forced to make an emergency landing in Illinois so that he could be rushed to hospital.

The 5’2” singer had several health issues to deal with during his lifetime – including epilepsy and more recently, the reported need for a double hip operation.

Prince revealed that he was epileptic in 2009, saying: "I've never spoken about this before but I was born epileptic. 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."

The singer did not reveal if he continued to battle epilepsy in his adulthood or if it was a condition he grew out of as a child, but he did explain that his mother’s religious faith helped him to deal with the illness.

Sorry for the double post. This just came up on my twitter feed. The Peace Bridge Connects Ontario Canada and New York State. That's Buffalo New York to the left of the picture.

Beautiful pic GA. My friend in Maui met him. He was good friends with Larry Graham (Sly and the Family Stone) and George Benson. George had a home in Maui and he'd bring them to visit . My friend said Prince was really a small guy but had a presence and was very humble and soft spoken .

He was a 7th day Adventist. And he once stated that through
Divine intervention he was healed. Can't give a source just
something that stuck.He would knock on doors people
would let him in they would talk for hours about his faith.
Imagine opening your door and seeing Prince in purple
and heels. As recent as before his passing. RIP Prince

Actually, he converted to a Jehovah's Witness after being raised as a 7th Day Adventist. You can research that on the web. Larry Graham who converted too taught Prince.

I heard on Celebrity Page show that there is a Bachelor weekend at the Foxwoods resort in Conneticut in May. They show Ben's poster, but upon checking it is Chris Soules, JaretH., Ashley I. And JJ Lane who will be there. No Benlo, I guess.

Truly an electric and dynamic personality. Love that song and although it was a collaboration Prince was the spotlight on that rendition. He embraced and felt the music; he became the music.

I think Prince may have been addicted to opioids. My DH is a rehab physician and he said that withdrawal symptoms can also mimick flu symptoms. I believe TMZ caught him pacing around the Walgreen's parking lot recently.
