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

As you’ve likely heard, music icon Prince died today at the age of 57. Not surprisingly, his passing has drawn comparisons to the recent death of another music legend. David Bowie passed away in February after a long battle with cancer that he’d managed to keep private – no easy feat in 2016. Now, many fans are wondering if Prince – one of the only figures in the history of pop and rock music who could accurately be likened to Bowie – took a page from the Thin White Duke’s playbook by hiding his illness from the public in the months leading up to his death. TMZ is now reporting that several insiders believe they have evidence that Prince knew his health was failing . In addition to the fact that he was admitted to the hospital last week for what his reps called a flu, Prince made some surprising comments to the crowd during a party at Paisley Park on Saturday. “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers,” the Purple One said, confusing many on hand. Add to that the fact that Prince began writing his memoirs just last month, and it begins to look as though, like Bowie, the music legend knew his time was fact approaching. We’ll have further updates on this astonishing loss as more details become available. View Slideshow: Prince: Remembering the Music Legend’s Life In Photos

It’s been seven months since Amy Duggar married Dilllon King , and ironically, the woman commonly known as the “rebel Duggar” has been enjoying the most stable, scandal-free home life of anyone in her family ever since. Unfortunately, it seems Amy isn’t quite immune to the sort of drama that seems to impact her cousins in the 19 Kids and Counting clan on a daily basis. Radar Online is reporting today that Amy’s husband, Dillon, was hospitalized in 2015, and has simply refused to pay his medical bills . Now, King is being sued for nearly $52,000 by the medical center in Bentonville, Arkansas where he was treated. A statement from the plaintiff’s lawyer reads: “The Plaintiff demanded of Defendants that said items be paid for in full on numerous occasions including: at or immediately following the time of providing the various items; within the 30 day period following the providing of said items; on or about June 26, 2015; and on numerous other occasions since said items were provided.” In addition to the fact that he’ll likely be forced to fork over a sizable sum, Dillon could be in trouble with his extended family as well. As fans of the Duggars know, Jim Bob believes debt is sinful and goes against the principles of good Christian living. Of course, Jim Bob has been caught lying about his debt-free existence , but that’s neither here nor there at this point. If the Josh Duggar sex scandals taught us anything, it’s that Jim Bob is much prefers looking down his nose at others over taking care of his own backyard.
