hospital that multiple doctors said you need to stay here for r at least 24 hours we want toan t keep an eye on you make suree sr everything is okay.ytng i however, the hospital could not pro void a private room for himh and so they said nope we're out' of here, and after three hours, they left and a lot of people pl saying he did not look good atot all when he left. >> dax -- >> then again he got up on stag the neck night at paisley parkay in front of a huge crowd of people.people to let them know, hey, i'm all good, and didn't perform, butfob got out there and said save youy prayers for another day, andnd unfortunately that other dayth d came about five days after that. >> dax, i want to talk aboutalka this drug overdose.g overdose. what do you know about that? knw what was he taking that he hade to have a shot safe? i didn'tid even know that prince was p involved with drugs.invo i thought he was this gentlemen hoes have witness living cleant life. what do you know about his druga use, if at all.e, all. >> it's that the thing.s th with these safe shots they're to count balance the effects off opiate. however it can come in lot of of different forms, and so i don'tn want
