TMZ presents Prince. His death is different from what I believed.

4. It's my understanding he needed a double hip replacement

All the jumping up and down in high healed boots had done a number on his body. While hip replacements don't usually require blood transfusions, I'm not sure any decent surgeon would agree to operate if the patient didn't sign off on receiving blood. Jehovah's Witnesses absolutely will not accept blood or any blood components.

Tom Petty also died of multiple drug toxicity, including oxicodone and fentanyl. He was dealing with arthritic knees and a hip fracture. I hate that they both died because they were in pain.
