Prince was treated for a drug overdose 6 days before his death ... multiple sources tell TMZ.
We broke the story ... Prince's private jet made an emergency landing in Moline, Illinois last Friday, hours after he performed in Atlanta. At the time his reps said he was battling the flu ... something we questioned because his plane was only 48 minutes from home before the unscheduled landing.
Multiple sources in Moline tell us, Prince was rushed to a hospital and doctors gave him a "save shot" ... typically administered to counteract the effects of an opiate.

Is this your attempt at sarcasm?

I don't know any details but it is very difficult to find much of anything on youtube or spotify. They are really vigilant about
copyright infringement.

The blind Item: MediaTakeOut.com just received word that a VERY popular African-American celebrity - who has recently been in the news - now has what is being described as AIDS. Obviously since we are not able to 100% confirm the story - we're going to leave it as a Blind Item. We want to make it clear we are NOT talking about Magic Johnson. This report REALLY hurt our heart. According to a person EXTREMELY CLOSE to the situation, the celebrity, who is known for having a very EXTREME sexual past reportedly contracted the illness sometime in the 1990s. He kept the illness quiet but began taking his medication RELIGIOUSLY up until about two years ago. Here's what we're told by a VERY trusted entertainment insider: "[The celebrity] believed that he was cured, and he had some crazy [religious] people who told him that God cured him. So he stopped taking his medication and the sickness came back. Now doctors say he's dying, and there is nothing anyone can do about it." We're told that the celebrity is expected to get sicker and sicker, and eventually pass. It can happen as soon as the summer. Very sad news.

Prince's songs provided the soundtrack to so much of my childhood. He will be missed and his brilliant music will live on forever.
I was shocked, SHOCKED, when I learned the news. I literally gasped.
About an hour later, I had to run to the grocery store... listened to Prince (of course) because it's all that's on. At the Giant, they were playing Michael Jackson "Man in the Mirror."
These are the 2 celebrity/musician deaths that have really impacted me.
These 2, and Robin Williams (Mork in those rainbow suspenders was a first crush too), were the ones that most got to me.

As PP referenced:
The gossip site:

The link claims he had AIDS.
link doesn't work
How about this one? http://blindgossip.com/?p=77843#more-77843
That one works, thanks. Isn't Prince a Jehovah Witness, which would make sense to have religious issues with certain medical treatments. A good friend was a JW and she refused a blood transfusion that would have saved her life based on her religious issues.
