Thanks Tyka. What an awful time this must be for them. August is at least some breathing space for all of us. "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

Exactly. When my grandmother died it was on a wednesday or thursday i believe and her funeral was held that following Monday. and it would have been sooner had we been able to get things prepared in time. Some folks were not able to fly in from downsouth but they sent their regards. It was what it was. We werent going to drag it out any longer or do multiple days. our funeral and viewing were all a 1 and done... The quickness that they handled things really is not abnormal.

You're reading way too much into this. The quote where she uses the word "authorized" was an official statement released a week or so ago, and I think the point of that statement was soley to say that the gathering they did on the Friday afterward, that had been reported by the stupid media as the official memorial service, was simply a gathering that happened, but it wasn't the family's actual plan for a memorial... I think in response to concerns that maybe that was all they were going to do. That statement was released before any other memorials or gathering had even started taking shape. As she says, she supports all gatherings and acknowledges that everyone grieves in different ways... Hmm I'm not buying it wasn't the official family funeral. They had funeral type flowers in big pots that they brought out and handed to the fans that were around. To me it sounds like "fans" are giving her shit because the fans haven't had a way to pay respects but that's not even true. There have been tributes and memorials all over the place. Several clubs where I live had Prince parties etc. Tyka, if you're reading this THROW A PURPLE PARTY !! Not a funeral. You already did that and those of us who are reasonable understand that. Tyka's Facebook post says a funeral WAS planned for Saturday, April 23 but had to be "aborted". There must have been a very good reason why it had to be cancelled, as friends had already flown in to attend it. I can only begin to imagine what that family are going through with all the media attention and speculation....I hope they continue to stand united as family should! | |

Get used to it people. Prince's legacy will be divided into warring factions, who all feel as though they are doing the right thing, more or less by him. It's human nature and most of these 'us vs them' feuds were taking place when he was alive. Hopefully the catalog/vault stays intact and under one authority. | |

So where does this leave this proposed Jehovahs Witness funeral/memorial slated for this Sunday then?? Will this still go ahead??
http://kstp.com/news/email-details-prince-funeral-minnetonka-jehovahs-witness-kindom-hall-police-traffic-crowd-control/4136002/?cat=1 Authorized=\=forbidden I think she's saying that all the others are not the "official" one and they (Tyka, PP reps) aren't organising them. I see where she's coming from. Just look at some of the posts over the LA memorial speculating as to why she wasn't there etc... It may well be this Sunday is the "official" funeral and the memorial to include his fans will be held in August. But I'm guessing. I just hope whenever his "official" funeral takes place it doesn't turn into a media circus. | |

Yes, that doesn't sit right with me either. Where are his cremains currently? Sitting in her home next to a bag of flaming hot cheetos?
I can understand putting on a show for his fans, and that's exactly what the Auguest event sounds like, but his remains should be put in their final resting place now, if they haven't already. I sincerely hope she's nothinking they would have the ashes at the event in August... that would just be a tacky spectacle.

Indeed and we as fans considered him family too and we cant heal until we get some kinda closure. I mean Im willing to donate if they need money, but I need people to stop doing Prince like this...its just not right | |

I think the first unfortunate bit was mentioning the location of the remains in the original FB post. I know I regretted reading it. Sounded like any funeral won't be official til they bring out his cremains. But I understand the lapse. Love and prayers to the family. PEACE [Edited 5/13/16 15:03pm] | |

These selfish and insensitive comments toward Prince's family are appalling. We are not owed anything by these people. However long it takes them to get through this they should have our support unless they are PROVEN unworthy of it. Not from speculation, rumors and gossip.
