Today, fans are mourning the shocking death of Prince , the visionary music legend who brought us unforgettable hits like “Kiss,” “1999” and “When Doves Cry.” The singer was found dead in his Minnesota home, just one week after his plane made an emergency landing to treat what representatives later said was the flu . However, Matt Fink, who played keyboards in Prince’s band The Revolution in the 80s, tells Radar Online that he believes Prince had more health problems than he had let on. “I can’t believe it was flu related,” Fink said, referring to last week’s incident. “At that time, I speculated it was not good,” he added. “But I was glad he was well. I assumed he was fine, that he was healing.” View Slideshow: Prince: Stars React to the Death of Iconic Singer In 2009, Prince revealed that he had been born with epilepsy and suffered seizures when he was a child. However, Fink said his friend never mentioned it to him. “He never discussed it. He brought that up much later after the band.” Fink said Prince had disclosed a separate health condition, but didn’t reveal any details about it. “He told me he had a heart murmur as well,” he claimed. “But we never discussed it.” “We’re in major shock right now,” he concluded. “It’s very difficult to express how we (the members of the band) feel. It’s a tough time.” At the time of this writing, the cause of death for the artist is still unknown. View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos
