This is the result of never doing drugs, smoking or drinking. His mind and reflexes are still sharp like he's still in his 20's. He obviously had facial surgery but looks great for 70

I’m not sure that the handsome comment has ever fit. It’s the music that makes people assume he’s handsome. It’s a very common thing. I mean, look at Mick Jagger and David Crosby. I know handsome is a subjective term, and you may hold the opinion that Lionel is in fact handsome.

I think Prince just wanted to his own thing and that's why he gave his own song, 4 The Tears In Your Eyes (he actually sent Sheila E. to the We Are The World recording in his place). It's pretty terrible how the media depicted him as too arrogant or whatever for declining to do it though... But if you listen to Hello (the Prince song), I think that was his answer to the whole We Are the World thing
