he did not do drugs to my knowledge. Never read any dirt on him. He kept his private life private. Very inteligent, voracious reader, introverted, extremely talented, donated $12,000 to a library in desparate need of operating funds. Always helped others in the business. Much respected in the industry. Yes, I am a fan. Love ved his music. RIP ....gone too soon.
A little known Prince factoid. When Prince read that Louisville was going close the Western Branch Library ( which is the first full service library for African Americans in country) he wrote a $10,000 check to the Western Branch Library Association to support the library.
Note: that symbol was a protest to the record label who thought they owned the legal rights to the name Prince ( his given name, btw.) he won.
