One day after being hospitalized, Prince rode his bike and had a dance party

It’s been a whirlwind weekend for the world’s premiere lover of lavender. On Friday, Prince’s private plane made an unscheduled, emergency landing in Moline, Illinois and Prince was rushed to the hospital with flu-like symptoms.

In typical mysterious Prince fashion, details surrounding his condition were sketchy and unclear, but now it seems like he’s totally fine. After all, you don’t throw a dance party for your fans the next night unless you’re feeling, at minimum, pretty OK.

In celebration of good health, good weather, and “all the love and support” he’s received, Prince invited fans to his home base in Chanhassen, Minnesota for a party at his Paisley Park complex last Saturday, the night following his hospitalization:

I couldn’t make it, but it was apparently a fun time:

With cookies and, uh, cocaine for all? Prince “sure shows his Minnesota nice”, whatever that means.

The Purple One was also spotted biking around Chanhassen over the weekend, a sight which must rank right up there in rareness with seeing a leprechaun, a pixie, or a Prince video on the Internet.
