PRINCE had been “preparing to die for a little while” because he had AIDS, according to a new report.
An industry source told The National Enquirer the legendary singer “was in bad shape” after allegedly being diagnosed with the disease six months ago.
“Doctors told Prince his blood count was unusually low and that his body temperature had dropped dangerously below the normal 98.6 degrees to 94 degrees,” the source said.
“He was totally iron-deficient, very weak and often disoriented. He rarely ate and when he did, it all came right back up.” If the report is true, Prince was battling the condition while he was touring Melbourne in February.
Just hours before the 57-year-old died last Friday at his estate in suburban Minneapolis, Prince was spotted at his local Walgreens pharmacy, according toTMZ.
