Prince: Did He Know His Death Was Coming?!

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

So, as Matt Lauer, his hair and Al Roker watched, Couric recapped Gumble's sit-down with “the artist formerly known as Prince.” Then, Prince came on to the stage, dressed almost exactly like Gumbel, who was floored to see his favorite musician. Prince shook Gumbel's hand and made his way to the stage, where he performed a medley of his hits (and even rewrote a few words so that his biggest fan would get a mention). Prince died thid morning at his Minnesota home at the age of 57.  He was hospitalized last week with the flu, but no cause of death has been released yet. The Associated Press tweeted that he had been touring and recording up until his untimely death, releasing four albums in the last 18 months.
