Prince’s Friend on the Singer’s Tragic Death: “His Biggest Fear was Dying Alone”
Eleven days after Prince's untimely death, one of the late star's closest friends has opened up about his passing — and revealed Prince's biggest fear was dying alone.
"I just pray Prince wasn’t cognizant, even for a mite of a moment, that he was dying alone in a nondescript elevator, in a Wonder Bread suburb of the city that was one day too late in telling him we loved him as much as he loved Minneapolis," the "Purple Rain" singer's confidante Neal Karlen recently told the Minneapolis Star Tribune.

"Because there’s one thing I’m positive I know about Prince. After knowing him in forever alternating cycles of greater, lesser and sometimes not-at-all friendship over the last 31 years: His biggest and perhaps only fear was dying alone," Karlen continued.
