Thirty years of suggestive dance moves and fashionable footwear have caught up with Prince Rogers Nelson, a.k.a. Prince. The forty-nine year old performer is reportedly in major pain every time he takes the stage, and will have his original joint replaced with a titanium model. Though Prince has held up amazingly well over the years, possibly due to his vegan diet and high self-esteem, this seems to indicate that there really is no escaping the rigors of remaining elegantly dressed and musically fierce over an extended period of time. No mention was made if hitting the basketball court in high-heeled boots contributed to the injury. [NME]
