Eclectic legend Prince, was known for his outlandish fashion and out-of-this-world performances. The singer was also known to be quite private, especially about his personal life. For instance, Prince was a devout Jehovah’s Witness and was known by fellow churchgoers as “Brother Nelson.” However, Prince also had a darker secret that he kept from the public which was his ongoing struggle with prescription medication. Unfortunately, it ultimately came to a head and his health began to suffer tremendously. In 2016, at one of his last shows, he told the audience, “Wait a few days before you waste any prayers.” Only days later, Prince suffered a fatal overdose of medication including fentanyl while at home. He was 57 years old.
