But then it's likely he didn't want someone with him 24hours/day, and it does sound as though the people close to him were doing everything they could to help, it just wasn't quite enough.
Highly addictive painkillers and the frequency with which they are prescribed is a horrid problem. I can't help but feel blame towards the pharmaceutical companies that are making so much money from these drugs - and they must be aware of how many lives they are wrecking.  |
Agreed. I think that due to this case it might become more a topic of public discussion and they appear to be doing a very thorough investigation.
Prince was such a private person, I think he would have hated going to rehab and the public being aware of it. He may have been trying to deal with this issue on his own but that is very difficult.
I know he was always supposed to be very opposed to recreational drugs, but prescription drugs can be just as hazardous if they are abused.
At this point I am skeptical about the rumors of illness. If that were the case I do not know how he could have recently travelled half way around the world and done a string of practically one man shows with stellar reviews. But who knows? We shall see when the results are in.
