The Walgreens picture

MIRvmn · August 14, 2016, 07:40:45 PM

The Walgreens picture. So I took the picture from Tmz's article http://m.tmz.com/#article/2016/04/21/prince-walgreens-death/ and checked if it was photoshopped on this site http://imageedited.com/ The results shows that it is photoshopped

U can also see that its not Prince on the picture

It looks like they blurred out "Prince" so we can't see that it's not him. It also looks like they added "Prince" to the photo. Tmz made this picture to fit the false overdose story.

Great post!
Can you please try the image comparison against these photos or others that look closer to the Walgreen's photo.
Sometimes you have to find a photo taken around the same time period, with similar clothing and in the exact same position to get a good comparison. (Ah the site has been hacked, hopefully it will come back up soon)

The alleged Walgreen's picture has a lot of questions around it.
Supposedly it was taken by TMZ but their is only one and the picture quality is so poor, it looks more like a cheap cell phone quality picture taken from far away. Rather than a paparazzi professional photographer camera.

TMZ and other tabloids pay amatures for photos of stars. Once the photo is bought it can be used to promote any story, regardless of when the photo was taken. I've seen photos of celebrity impersonators used, as if it were a photo of the real celeb.

"If you live in an area that celebrities frequent, you have likely managed to grab a few snapshots. (Y)ou can turn those photos into cash and even make a career out of taking and selling celebrity photos."

Here's another article claiming this picture below to be another "Walgreen's Photo" taken on the same day as the TMZ photo. It's not, he isn't even wearing the same clothing aa the TMZ photo and there looks to be snow in the background. With a filter used to obscure it. http://www.hooch.net/30-haunting-last-photos-of-celebrities/6/

Rainbowblue ...those pix 1 NY city 2 wrecka stowe and not sure about 3
one media report stated he had the same clothing on as the walgreen pix when they found him ?

Rainbowblue I think its a Prince impersonator on the Walgreens picture, thats why "Prince" is blurred out and his cheek looks different than Prince's, well I think the whole head looks different. I think Tmz is behind the pic, they made it look like its from some amateur, they needed this pic to fit the false overdose story.Just like when they published the emergency landing footage, It looks old somehow. They have much better security cameras these days but the emergency landing footage is very blurry and not clear. It's probably something Tmz found somewhere so it would fit the story. That article u mention is lying, its picture of Prince in Canada on March 21 http://etcanada.com/news/42568/sheriffs-deputies-found-princes-unresponsive-body-in-an-elevator/

Yes. That article is definitely spreading lies. The media propaganda machine in full effect.

TMZ is definitely behind that "Prince at Walgreen's" photo. Regardless of how, when, where, or of who the photo was taken, it's all TMZ. They're the ones who released and promoted the image. I'm pretty sure they own the image and get paid each time it's used for profit in the media.

There was a guy I ran into a few years back.
"Prince"! My mind thought.
So I walked over to say hello.
It was dark in a dance club.
When I got about 10 feet away. "That's not Prince "! I thought as I smiled and said hello any way.
He returned my greeting.
He was African American, similar skin tone, hair, body type and height as Prince. His facial structure was very close to Prince as well as the way he walked and carried himself.

The DJ began spinning Prince music, I found out they were having a " Prince night" playing his music and videos.

So I kept visually comparing the two. The guy didn't sing or dance. He was dressed casually in clothing you may see Prince wearing. No make up. Hair combed back, Just chilling talking to people.

Every time our paths crossed we smiled at each other.

I've never seen anyone look so much like a person but not be them.

After mentioning the experience to a buddy, she told me she's friends with the guy and talked to him regularly.
"Is he an impersonator"?
"Oh that's just how he looks, naturally"?
"So he just goes with it".
We spoke of doppelgangers and clones. "Do people ever freak out thinking it's the real thing"? I asked her what his name was and she said "Prince"! Laughing that everyone calls the guy Prince because well... When you see him that is the 1st thing you think.
"Prince"

I've come across a few articles where there is a supposed picture of Prince but it's an image of an impersonator or, something...
Here is an article that has a picture titled "Prince" but it ain't Prince.

Thanks for finding the source of the 1st picture.
The 3rd one is from the Piano and a Microphone tour. Looks like a sound check. I posted the photos to see if you could compare them with the TMZ "Walgreens" photo. He's got a lot of photos of him in that same pose from the tour but the Walgreens photo is way too iffy. TMZ...

After following an image falsely listed as Prince that was clearly an impersonator.

Perhaps this is your guy.

Prince Tribute artist Jason Tenner of the band. Purple Reign in Las Vegas

He has a longer pointed nose and a chin like the guy in the ,"TMZ Walgreens photo ".

Maybe the license plate was blocked out in the TMZ photo not just to protect privacy but to obscure the State it was taken in as well as the owner of the SUV making it harder to debunk.

Whattaya think?!

Rainbowblue yes it definately looks more like him than Prince, I didn't think about that so thanks. What I think Tmz did was that they added the Prince impersonator to the picture and reduced the size to make him look small like Prince. The walgreens photo is definately manipulated.

MIRvmn · August 16, 2016, 11:08:54 AM

I checked the Walgreens picture also on this site http://regex.info/exif.cgi

To get the correct info u must download the picture directly from Tmz site

Hmmm?

Personally I don't know for sure what is going on with this Prince Death Scenario. Everything is suspicious.

In this photo everything is relatively in focus except Prince. The fore ground the background we can even make out the clouds in the sky in the reflection of the SUV. The foliage behind him. But you can't make out his facial features or clothing?

This is one of the 1st articles I found just after his death was reported that really questioned the official story of his "death".

http://yournewswire.com/prince-murder-cover-up-emerges/

Article excerpt:

Posted on April 29, 2016

"It is becoming increasingly clear there is a mainstream media cover up conspiracy about Prince's death. We are being being fed half truths and outright lies, and the official version of events being reported by the media is implausible to say the least. We need to start asking some questions. It is the very least Prince deserves.

That's right – a mere one hour after Prince died, TMZ had a complete back story, witnesses, photos, names, times, medical statements, 911 tape, and likely cause of death.

Is that even possible? Or were TMZfed the complete concocted story by their mysterious overlords, ready-packaged to be quickly and easily digested by the unsuspecting public?

A comment was left on the TMZ article by user 'T. Jackson' outlining credibility problems within the article and the official version of events. This comment and follow up comments were swiftly deleted.

Here is T. Jackson's censored comment:

(1) You can see by the reflection of the clouds in the rear window of the SUV and the lack of shadows, that this photo was taken midday in Minnesota. TMZ wouldn't know because they are on the West Coast.

(2) The photo above is not the parking lot of Walgreens. Its most likely the back parking lot of the DMV office located at4100 Lakeview Ave North, Robbinsdale, MN 55422, where Prince recently got his updated drivers license. You can search that address on Google and see it for yourself."
