*TMZ is reporting that Prince had overdosed on the prescription drug Percocet days before his death, ingesting so much that paramedics had to give him a “save shot” at the airport where his plane made an emergency landing to save his life:

Sources in Moline, Illinois tell TMZ, Prince’s entourage told responders he had taken the painkiller after his Atlanta concert which triggered the emergency.

Percocet is a painkiller, which contains a combination of acetaminophen and oxycodone, an opioid. It is highly addictive.

We’re told Prince was taking painkillers for a hip problem. We’re told he had corrective surgery for his hips around 2010.

As we reported, Prince went to his local Walgreens 4 times in the week leading up to his death. We got a photo of Prince in the parking lot of the Walgreens hours before he died. Witnesses say he was pacing and agitated, waiting for someone to bring out his meds.
