Umm.... So... Prince Needs... A Hip Replacement?




Never thought I'd come to prince.org and find that the top story is their "OFFICIAL PRINCE HIP REPLACEMENT THREAD". The only sources I can find are the Enquirer and the British tabloids... but then again the Enquirer's track record is about as good as most major newspapers these days..

It's all them splits. Once, a while back, I asked the prince newsgroup when the last recorded time was that PRN did his trademark splits, and nobody knew. I can't find any evidence he's done them in about 8 years.

Hip replacement! Sigh.

Whoa, I guess Anil is right--too many splits is rough on the hips.

If Prince gets a hip replacement will he walk funny? I just visualize him walking like the hall monitor on In Living Color played by David Alan Grier!

I pray he gets relief soon from the pain. God bless you Prince.

To evidence Prince doing the splits in the last 8 years, check out the Rave Un2 the year 2000 concert DVD - he does about 10...in ONE SUCCESSION!! Not bad for a then 41 year old. Although as I haven't seen him do any another splits since, maybe that's when he did the damage...Hip replacement or not - he STILL looks freakishly young for a 47 year old

According to the news this morning, P is facing major hip surgery, but is reluctant to have it because of his JW status. They're not allowed to have blood transfusions.

I think if he needs hip replaced then he should get it
it better then going for the rest of your life in pain.
I know church said no to blood thinner and the blood
THere not God, Prince need to follow his heart god will
give him what he need His Wife should there what ever he
disside to do.

All sins are forgiven except one: Blaspheme against the Holy Spirit. TO sum it up, go ahead with the Surgery Prince. Whether its right or wrong from whomevers perspective, The Father is Willing to Forgive!

Funny how when pain or tragedy is place at someone else's door, how willingly fools make fun. I have often wondered how so many people can PRETEND to believe in GOD and still act like savages.

I'm only 52 and need a hip replacement, I'm gutted so I think I know how Prince must feel - and Anthony LaPaglia/Jane Kaczmarek - in fact the only thing that makes me feel (very slightly) better, is knowing that I'm in the company of these famous,(and even younger than me), people. I don't think that anyone who has not suffered this can really know how it feels for a young (for this particular op) person to be told they need a hip replacement

I had heard about him needing the surgery, but it is his decision, though I nor others that love his genius may like it or not. He is only 3 years older than I am, and I know it must be getting harder for him to do the things that he did in his younger days. Fortunatly, his hip has no effect on his mind nor his singing. So don't count him out. He's a surviver, and will handle this situation as such. As far as him being a Jehovah's Witness, the church has rescinded its policy on transplants when the person's life is danger, and God wouldn't want one of His children to suffer. I'd still love him anyway, and so would God. The church has had too many people to die, suffer and leave due to its stringent policy
on blood, which is actually a mere man's interpretation anyway.
