Prince is reportedly considering having hip replacement surgery as the 49-year-old musician has worn out his body from years of bump and grind. The high-heel wearin' Purple Rain singer will have the ball and socket of his damaged hip taken out and titanium replacements cemented in. Apparently, he reluctant to have the surgery, cuz he's a Jehovah's Witness, but it's painful and his days of doing the splits are behind him.
Aides are keeping his diary clear for two months to recover—but they're not letting on why he cannot work in that time.
A source said: "For months Prince has complained of pain every time he moves. He is totally crushed as he knows he will never be the same again."
News of the World GP Dr Hilary Jones said: "The operation won't stop him dancing. But if he does anything too vigorous—for example the splits—the new joint may become displaced."
