Prince Needs A New Hip

I was sad to hear this.

Pop superstar Prince is facing painful hip surgery to help him cope with discomfort brought on by years of performing in high-heeled boots.

The pint-sized When Doves Cry singer is thinking twice about a full hip replacement, according to sources close to him, because, as a Jehovah's Witness he's against the blood transfusion part of the operation.

The 47-year-old star is on medication as he attempts to battle the pain of his bad joints, according to US tabloid National Enquirer.

First of all, I'd take anything from the Enquirer with a grain of salt. Also, it does make sense that years of walking in heels, dancing, etc would take a toll on the brother's hips.

If this is true, I think its ridiculous that he doesn't want blood transfusions. That is retarded. Those religions who will forego medical treatment for religious reasons should be tried for murder. Do they really think that God doesn't want them to live or feel better? How could they sit there and deny their children medical care, even watch their kid die, because the church tells them its the law.

Prince should either wise the hell up, and get the operation or sit out the rest of his life in a wheelchair in pain.
