Anyone who has had their musical heroes develop from the 70's 80's and even the 90's, need to get used to seeing this. Anyone involved in the Entertainment industry, actors, musicians, artists, live a very hard life. And particularly the stars. They went through extreme drug use, life on the road, enormous pressures, and relentless touring and activity. It all takes a toll.
While Prince seemed to have less skeletons in his closet, he still went through enormous stress in his fight with Warner Brothers. No doubt all of that plays a part.
Just like our parents and grandparents saw their idols, the Hollywood actors of the 30's, 40's and 50's die off in the late 50's and 60's, we are seeing our heroes go now. Bowie, Glenn Frey, Prince, Micheal Jackson, Whitney Houston, etc. are the same as their Bogart's, Gary Cooper's, John Wayne's. Hard drinking, hard living, does catch up with you.
So we celebrate who they were and what they left behind. And what a Legacy by Prince!
It does say another thing. If you see one of your heroes coming to a venue, a casino, a concert near you, it might not be a bad idea to suck it up and go see them while you can. They might need the audience and you might not get a lot more chances.
