Prince's personal chef reveals the 'Purple Rain' singer's stuggles

Speculation is rife over the reason behind Prince's sudden demise on April 21. A recent revelation suggests that the pop star was fighting off waves of sore throats and stomach pains.

The Purple Rain singer's personal chef, Ray Roberts, recently revealed  that sometime before his death, the star started seeking for food that was easier to digest, reports news.com.au. The chef, who cooked for Prince for almost three years, said in an interview that there was ?not even a hint? of any abnormality on the night before his death.

But Roberts added that he started noticing changes in the singer's diet as he was eating less and drinking less water and looked like he was losing weight. "It felt like he wasn't himself probably the last month or two. I think he was just struggling with being sick a lot,?" he stated.
