If any Ledgie embeds this Thank You. I'd like to thank anyone who's embedded stuff I've posted, I appreciate it.
Not sure how I feel about her the theories. I'm heading out for a motorcycle ride so I'll have plenty of time to think about it. Have a great day everyone!

Oops.... I should have said Manner of Death. We know the cause is opioid overdose.

It's getting a mixed response, which is understandable. I think because she and Prince had some heated moments in the past regarding Stevie's "lifestyle," those memories still linger in her mind. Prince wasn't totally off. By 1986, Stevie's health was pretty shot and even Lindsey thought things were looking bleak. The whole Prince tragedy is just ironic when compared with how hard Stevie lived.

PURPLE PAIN?
Stevie Nicks Thinks Late Singer Prince Might Have Committed Suicide
Fleetwood Mac star wonders about drug death, 'Did he purposefully take too much?'

Was Prince‘s shocking death actually a suicide?

That’s what another famous singer wonders about his drug-related passing at age 57, the Sunday Mirror has reported.


Fleetwood Mac member and solo artist Stevie Nicks, 69, has speculated that her pal Prince took an overdose on purpose in an explosive Mirror interview.

As Radar has reported, music icon Prince died in April 2016 after taking an accidental self-administered overdose of the prescription drug fentanyl.

The “Purple Rain” singer had been fighting chronic hip pain for years due to his hot dance moves on stage and turned to prescription drugs – but Nicks also said he was terribly isolated.

Nicks, who became friends with Prince in the 1980s, explained, “I don’t know in my heart of hearts whether he just took too much.

“Or did he purposefully take too much? Did he accidentally take too much?”

The veteran “Stop Draggin’ My Heart Around” rocker sighed to the Mirror in England, “When you get to be our age – and he was younger than me – and you’re like, ‘I’m not making hit records any more… I’m not able to really tour anymore because of my health…’

“You’re not married, you don’t have children… you don’t hang out with a bunch of people because you’re really an isolationist,” said Nicks, who was only briefly married once, to Kim Anderson, and has no kids.

Prince was divorced from his second wife in 2006 and was completely alone in an elevator on his estate when he died.

Prince’s child with his first wife, Mayte Garcia, died just days after his birth.

Nicks spoke to the Mirror as she prepared to give a concert at the British Summer Time concert alongside another musician pal, Tom Petty.

She told the publication about friend Prince, “Fentanyl is the worst of the worst of the worst; way stronger than heroin, morphine, anything – and he was having to take it because I think he was probably fractured from his neck down to his feet.

“I think when you’re in that much pain, and you’re somebody who has made it your life’s work to preach about the downfall of people that do drugs, that had to be [a burden]. I think that broke his heart.”

I dunno...... it seems to me like she's treading on thin ice with this one...that kind of thing, based on no real evidence, just a wondering out loud kind of thing.. can be very hurtful to his friends and family. how much is she projecting her own issues-- not married, no kids, not having hit records anymore-- onto him?? does she know he felt isolated or is she guessing(seems like purely guessing). he injured his hip-- but that's a big different than being 'broken from his neck down' or whatever she said along those lines. And the part about how he lectured people about taking drugs and then becoming someone who had to take drugs all the time for pain and whether that impacted him-- she's being very oblivious to the fact that he was taking the meds he was taking for ACTUAL PHYSICAL INJURIES and not for RECREATIONAL USE thinking it ws no problem until it was (which is what SHE did). She took them to par-tay and to maintain and crazy lifestyle and it turned around and bit her when it became an addiction. His meds situation was a lot more like her Klonopin situation-- dr prescribed and then dr keeps upping the dose and you develop a nasty addiction. it's almost like she's saying "I wonder if he felt like a hypocrite after all those years of judging those of us who took drugs" and then he's the one who dies of an overdose. I mean this is the woman who felt her Klonopin rx was too much and to test out her theory she got Glenn to take her dosage of klonopin (which was high because she'd built up a tolerance for it over years-- whereas he was taking it for the first time at such a high dose). When her dr said to her when he found out "what are you trying to do kill him?" it still didn't register with her how literally life threatening it is to give someone else your meds at your dose. (or give your dog cocaine). Sometimes she just needs to think more before she speaks. The hubris of fame.

It's no big deal. The paper made it sound like Stevie is on a crusade to prove Prince killed himself, but that clearly wasn't her intent. They took a few remarks (no doubt from many, as we know Stevie likes to talk) and made what was basically a warning from Stevie to other up and coming music stars about the dangers of isolating yourself and taking drugs of any kind long term into some kind of attack on Prince's character. The truth is, whenever anyone dies of a drug overdose, people often question whether it was deliberate or accidental.

i think she is absolutely calling him out as a hypocrite
and she is right to.
that is exactly what he ended up being.
and you know from the time he was banging on about drugs to her that probably hurt her feelings. coz no-one thinks they ever have a drug problem...

nowhere in that article was she equating recreational drug use with prescribed ones. the fact is, he probably was addicted. and how can she not project. they are exactly the same type of people. how can she not see herself in him and him in her.

that article is stirring $h!t with a few comments she made making it bigger than what it was.

To be fair, Prince was suffering from a deteriorating hip and his religion (Jehovah's Witness) does not believe in surgery and receiving blood products which prevented him from getting a badly needed hip replacement. Instead he self medicated because the pain was excruciating. I am not gonna speculate if he became addicted to the pain medication or if he was trying to mask the severe pain he was in. In excessive doses Fentanyl, like Morphine, can kill. In some ways his religion killed him.

I don't see Stevie saying the word "addicted" anywhere here. We know Stevie says what she thinks. She's clearly just musing here. She's grappling with the death of someone she once knew, trying to make sense of what happened. She's asking questions, not presenting them as fact or even concrete theories. And she's right about fentanyl -- worst of the worst, if you're paying attention to the opioid epidemic in the US.

I don't think Stevie's comments should be taken negatively. There is so much confusion about Prince's life, death and estate. Reading some of the conspiracy theories is chilling. Some of the pills containing fentanyl were even mislabeled as something else. His carefully guarded music has been auctioned off for tens of millions of dollars. Even Jay-Z addresses this in his new album. Who knows what really happened? Stevie's trying to piece it together like everyone else.
