  Oh that is too bad...well I suppose he is not wearing high heeled boots to the meetings or out in field service! He's probably only 4' 7" tall without his platforms on.

  Do you think that he still wear's his make-up/lipstick to the KH? haaa

  Poor "artist formerly known as Prince know known as Prince" he didn't quite make the minimum height limit for the Scientoligists so had to make do with the Dubs! I bet he gets backroom "talks" with the elders in his congreagtion about driving a little red corvette, OMG its a 2 door, how will you drive all these tight arse sponging "pioneers" around! would be cool to have him rock up at your door though! I would invitehim in for some tea and biscuits, and when he goes into his spiel, ask him to excuse me for a minute, then go and get dressed up as prince and scare the shit out of him!!! crazed fan!!!! not that i like prince, i always thought he looked like midget covered in glue and dipped in pubic hair!

  By Adrian Short, Weekly News

  A MAN who suffered rare and complex bone fractures when falling over a kerb after a night out drinking died from blood clots arising from his injuries, an inquest heard. Clifford Jones, 64, a retired lorry driver of Bellhouse Lane, Widnes, died on June 5, 2004, two days after being admitted to Whiston Hospital. On June 3, Mr Jones had drunk four or five pints of bitter in the Millfield pub in Widnes, and was later found injured on the pavement on William Street. Story continues Witness Maurice Broom, a friend, said Mr Jones didn't know what had happened but begged him to help him up. He sat him up, 'rolled him a fag' and an ambulance arrived within 20 minutes Police were satisfied Mr Jones had fallen over, despite him telling a nurse he was the victim of a hit-and-run driver. A paramedic knew he had broken hips because his legs were 'at a funny angle'. He underwent 'dynamic hip screw surgery' after it was found that he had suffered a rare bilateral fracture of the hips which had left bone fragments at the injury site. Following the operation Mr Jones was confused and disorientated and had low blood pressure. But he refused a blood transfusion, saying he had become a Jehovah's Witness. His condition stabilised in intensive care but he soon developed multiple organ failure and died. A post-mortem examination found nothing to suggest Mr Jones had been struck by a vehicle. The pathologist said he was believed to be a heavy drinker but there was no alcohol-related pathology to be found. However, there was clear evidence that he had suffered a 'shower of fat emboli', blockages in the circulatory system, which proved lethal. During psychiatric assessment he was behaving abnormally, shifting in bed, reaching into the air and mumbling to himself. Soon after he had a heart attack. Cheshire coroner Mr Nicholas Rheinberg recorded a narrative verdict. He said: 'Mr Jones accidentally fell and sustained bilateral fracture of the femur - as a result of the fractures and the necessary surgery, he suffered a fat emboli, the major cause of death with unreplaced blood loss as a contributory factor.'

  Well, I'm a huge Prince fan and I hate the thought of him needing this type of surgery. And I really, really hate the fact that he would refuse a transfusion.

  "kerb"??? I thought it was spelled "curb"???

  discomfort brought on by years of performing in high-heeled boots

  I can totally picture Prince asking for spiritual support to not get a transfusion and the elder saying, "You reap what you sow."

  It will be interesting to see what happens. AFAIK hip replacement surgery usually entails a lot of bleeding--correct me medical folks if I'm wrong--so I wonder what he'll do when the time comes.

  Actually, he still does wear the high heeled boots and is still made up when he goes to the kh. He lives in Toronto and attends congregations in my area. Although I've never seen him, friends of mine have. He comes to the kh dolled up the way you know him to look. He arrives just after the song in his limo and leaves just before the meeting ends.

  Prince the fanatic {the Tom Cruise of Dubland} Prince, the hip op star

  Prince: Creaking joints At A mere 5ft 3in, Prince has always relied on the highest of heels to give him a lift.

  But his penchant for platforms could have stacked the odds against him. At 47, he has been told he needs a hip replacement.

  The singer believes years of strutting on stage (and energetic dance routines) have taken a toll on his joints.

  "He used to wear high-heeled boots every day and doctors told him that may have contributed to his condition," a source told U.S. magazine the National Enquirer.

  "Over the years he has battered his body so much that his joints, especially his hips, are causing him a lot of discomfort."

  The singer has been told that only a full hip replacement will alleviate the pain and ensure he can keep dancing.

  "Over time his condition will get worse and he'll have to have the surgery," another source told the magazine. "He's causing more damage by continuing to walk."

  Prince, a Jehovah's Witness, is thought to be against having surgery because the religion does not allow blood transfusions.

  He has been prescribed antiinflammatory drugs to help him cope with the condition.

  He and his wife Manuela married in a Jehovah's Witness ceremony in Hawaii on New Year's Eve 2001. A year later, they were formally baptised into their faith in a private ceremony in Minnesota.

  Prince's career spans 30 years and includes the hit albums Purple Rain, Diamonds and Pearls and Musicology.

  In 2000, he adopted a symbol as his name and insisted on being referred to as The Artist Formerly Known As Prince in a bizarre act of rebellion against his record company.

  As a Jehovah's Witness he has joined the faith's recruiting ranks, knocking on doors to spread the word.

  In a recent TV interview in the U.S. he refused to answer any questions not about the faith.

  "Jesus is more important than anything," he declared. "If we can focus on that, all of us, this chaos will cease ."
