You know, if ever I did those little sad face emoticon things, I would use one for this very thread.
For Prince, MY Prince, the Fortress of Solitude hero Prince - needs a HIP replacement.
Pop legend Prince is having a secret HIP REPLACEMENT at the age of just 49—after being crippled by years of sexy dancing.
The pint-sized US star would develop a severe limp and have to use a WALKING STICK without surgery.
So he is booking himself into a private hospital. Aides are keeping his diary clear for two months to recover—but they're not letting on why he cannot work in that time.
During the two-hour op—more common for OAPs—the Purple Rain singer will have the ball and socket of his damaged hip taken out and titanium replacements cemented in.
A source said: "For months Prince has complained of pain every time he moves.
"He is totally crushed as he knows he will never be the same again."
News of the World GP Dr Hilary Jones said: "The op won't stop him dancing. But if he does anything too vigorous—for example the splits—the new joint may become displaced."
I think "never be the same again" is a little too much hyperbole, but needless to say, it sucks to think of Prince the same as us mere mortals and, not only that, not getting any younger either.
It goes without saying that The Curmudgeon and The Fortress of Solitude wish Prince a full, painless and speedy recovery. Then he'll just need to get back into the studio and do what he loves - that's his cure right there.
Or failing that, he could spend some quality time with his backup singers, The Twinz..
Hell, if you're going to injure yourself, do it in style.
