A new revelation has been made about the final days of late Pop legend, Prince after he was found dead at his home.
Prince stayed awake for “154 hours straight” despite being hooked on sleep-inducing painkillers, detectives have been told.
As the star’s family gathered at his home for a memorial 24 hours after his private cremation, his brother-in-law told how the singer had not slept for six and a half days before he was found dead in a lift.
Maurice Phillips, who is married to Tyka Nelson, the Purple Rain star’s sister and only full blood relative, said: “I was with him just last weekend. He worked 154 hours straight. He was a good brother-in-law.”
Friends fear he may have been overprescribed drugs by a dodgy doctor.
But Prince’s insomnia appears to clash with reports that he was taking high levels of painkiller Percocet, which is believed to have led to him overdosing aboard his private jet, five days before he died.
But, in extreme cases, users of the prescription drug have said it has kept them awake, especially when mixed with other medication.
Prince, 57, was found dead at his home at Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota, on Thursday.
Detectives are understood to have discovered a number of prescription drugs there.
