Morphine Prince 106,361 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 In an interview with Newsweek, Simmons hailed the late singer as "heads, hands and feet above all the rest of them. I thought he left (Michael) Jackson in the dust. Prince was way beyond that." Then he followed with remarks about how Prince died. "But how pathetic that he killed himself," Simmons said. "Don't kid yourself, that's what he did. Slowly, I'll grant you ... but that's what drugs and alcohol is: a slow death." Simmons took to Twitter to apologize, saying, "I just got such s**t from my family for my big mouth again." "I apologize -- I have a long history of getting very angry at what drugs do to the families/friends of the addicts," he wrote. "I get angry at drug users because of my experience being around them coming up in the rock scene." Simmons added, "Needless to say, I didn't express myself properly here -- I don't shy away from controversy, and angry critics really don't bother me at all. If I think I'm right, I'll throw up a finger and dig my heels in and laugh. But this time, I was not. So, my apologies."

lego 44,165 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 We don't even know how he died? How pathetic to say something like that. But I dislike his personality from before, so not surprised. FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juvi 1,639 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 his wording is HORRIBLE but what he MEANS is most likely right and Princs death was as "pathetic" as it was because of peoples reaction, which was: "Let's buy all his music because he's dead now!", not thinking about how he died: YEARS of alcohol and hard drugs!

Chris Evans 8,917 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 bad wording but I don't disagree with him it's what likely happened although we still don't know for sure but that's how a lot of legends pass away Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
