Random question re: Prince & Ex-wife

[mexicali]

So I happened upon Hollywood Exes with Mayte. She talks about losing Prince's babies. I googled and it's only showing one and it's rumored there were two losses.

I know this is completely random, but does anyone recall this? It doesn't even really talk about how or what happened. Maybe because this was an era before gossip sites were big. I am nosey and want to know. I love me some Prince. I am just a younger generation and didn't know much about him other than his songs then.

TIA.

I remember the talk around one of the loses, and how devastated Prince was.

Same as Pixy, although it's been way too many years to remember all the details. I am a serious Prince fan. He's on my "list," which freaks DH out to know end because they couldn't be more polar opposites. I also consider Prince to be a musical genius. The man is insanely talented in pretty much everything.

I only remember that their child died not too long after he was born. It's possible she could have miscarried later, but I don't know. Prince and his secret life are up there with Sade for me.

Bqbride - I agree. I can tell you right now, the day Prince dies, I'll be JUST like the Elvis fans. I will make a journey to Paisley Park every year.

My DH will be joining you. I'm completely serious. He's building up quite a collection of autographs right now.

I finally got to see him in concert a few years ago. He was amazing! I have seen many concerts and two of my favorite have been Prince and Busta Rhymes. . For two completely different reasons-obviously.

I remember they had a son who died from a congenital defect shortly after birth; can't remember the name of it, but something where his brain was only partially formed, or formed outside the skull or something of that nature. I didn't know there were other losses.

*sits next to bq* Did you see his recent interview with Tavis Smiley? It's on YouTube, you should look for it. It's pretty long, and it's about the most relaxed and candid I've ever seen him in an interview.

***SQUEE*** Off to Youtube!

Man, he is just the whole package.

Nitaw, I can't even think of it. It's gonna be worse than when Etta died. I still tear up when I hear her music.

At least you could probably pull off the plush velvet purple suit

My brother's friends throw a giant party to celebrate his birthday every year.

[bqbride]

Ironic since Prince is a Jehovah's Witness and I would presume doesn't celebrate birthdays.
