Superstar Prince may have obtained prescription drugs from a “friend” doctor just like the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, who died of an overdose in 2009. 

The “Purple Rain” entertainer was compared to the “Thriller” singer by TMZ on April 29, citing similarities on medication overdoses.

It is believed that Prince was overprescribed the painkiller Percocet, similar to Jackson’s case, when he was prescribed Propofol as a sleep aid by his doctor Conrad Murray.
