Because 5'2 isn't as short as you think. People tend to exaggerate shortness, they make a 5'7 guy seem like 5'0 tall

Didn't know that Prince was so short. That's a huge surprise for me. He didn't seem that small in his music videos.

"Do you read Prince's autopsy? Prince was actually 5 feet 3 inches. You should update it and make a upgrade"
An autopsy will have a greater height than actual due to spinal decompression.

I stood nest to Prince getting off a plane...he was really tiny...and he was wearing three inch just walking around...nowhere near a stage. I'd say 5' 1" 125lbs. I must say he appeared to be very pleasant and convivial with his companions, unlike the 'I am so weird' vibe he liked to affect.
He weighed 112 pounds.
13 pounds is a perfectly reasonable amount to vary in your lifetime

🎶 Prince would have turned 61 today. His true height was always a dubious subject, but whether he was 5ft nothing or 5ft5, which is what I read in The Sun, this man made an enormous contribution to the world of popular music, and was very generous with his own self-penned songs, and with helping the careers of struggling stars and revamping those he felt needed a new injection of joie de vivre.
What a Prince among men. 🤴
5ft2.5.
RIP Prince and Happy Birthday in Heaven. XXX 💐🎸🎂

@Sophia Moe: I don't understand...You're saying he was 5'3 and a half, but 5'6 with heels, but then he was actually 5'6? Also, I would be surprised if Prince had lost significant height by his death. He had joint issues from his constant heel wearing sure, but didn't beat up his body or anything.

During the Super Bowl, a hologram sleepover would have happened. A chart of Prince holograms height as short as 15.5 inches as tall as 6’0”. The holograms would have represented the phrases of the artist’s life and career in each year from birth to death.

@Frank R, a bit presumptive to think that there was a direct correlation with his heel/lift and pain killer addiction. There could have various factors of course and pride may have not been one.

Prince’s decision to wear ‘lifts’ every time he performed was literally the “death of him.” All of the dancing he did in his elevated platform shoes messed up his back something fierce, which led to his addiction to pain killers. I think that once Prince became iconic, that he could have opted to wear comfortable shoes, but Prince was too proud.

Height is so unrelevant ! His musical genius was a HUGE part of who he was and what he gave! Sad to think people relate tall stature with something more than short stature! I miss him and wish that there was still more music to come from him.

If his autopsy said he's 5'3" then that means he was right around 5'2". Remember that they take the length of the body without the compression of the spine from gravity after a few days.
As to the comment last year about being short may have been the indirect cause of his death... well, it is on record that he was urged to have hip replacement surgery but refused due to his religion - he was a Jehovah's Witness, they do not allow blood transfusions. He'd been suffering for some years.

His waist was only 24” and he was a US size zero the tour guide told us but she said his height rumoured between 4.10 and 5.3, it was to be kept part of the mystery.. I don’t think the autopsy report told the truth about his height, 5.3 is small but not tiny and only an inch shorter than me. I cdnt help but stare at his outfits in amazement and disbelief that he had stood inside them., absolutely tiny, I cdnt get my head arnd it. Never had such a man come in such a fun size package and what a man he was and will be remembered as ❤️

@ Sandy Cowell - Thank you, deeply, for understanding. Too many people on the Internet(and in real life) refuse back down from any statement they make, even when an explanatory reply is presented to them in a very calm and gentle manner, via an attempt to deescalate. Your profound ability to hear me out and allow me to defend myself, while taking my words into consideration show an amazing, insightful personality trait that so many people sadly lack.

@ Sandy Cowell: Yeah, admittedly, my words can come off as pretty harsh sometimes. But you are taking my words out of context. I don't have a problem with anybody musing over what they love or loved about whatever said celebrity. Yeah, it has no real relevance to the site's subject matter, but no harm, no foul. However, when there are repeated instances of users directly equating any particular height - whether it be an excess, lack of, or neither - to whomever's life accomplishments or endearing qualities(i.e. "he was only five foot six, but still a really nice guy"), that somewhat irks me, what with the highly demeaning implications. And the endless cases of "Who cares about his/her/anyone's height?" are a blatant insult to all of the legit members here, and especially Rob. Let's say you were very passionate about model railroading and ran a website devoted to your hobby and the comment boxes and forum section would frequently read, "Who cares about toy trains? Why do people even talk about it; there are so many more important and worthwhile things in life to focus your attention on!" That would quickly become very grating and offensive towards you and the other members who were serious about a shared pastime. If you believe the theme of any said website is stupid and/or pointless, ignore it and don't visit. It's that simple. Don't feel the need to butt in and annoy those who have found a safe-haven of like-minded individuals.

You like talking down to people it would seem. It isn't a nice thing to do. Who made you judge, jury and executioner?
If people wish to add a comment which includes how much they like a particular celeb, is it any skin off your nose? It doesn't reflect badly on their intelligence, education or otherwise.
We are all here because we are interested in height - and in celebrities! In many cases, these stars are going to have fans who cannot keep certain feelings in sometimes. It is just a bit of fun!
We should all try to get on together nicely, Adam! OK? 👍

i saw prince several times in concert. that last being in 2004. when i saw him in 1988, his stage had a basketball court on it. between a song, he interacted with the audience, had a basketball, dribbled thru and around his legs, shot free-throws (made every one) and did lay-ups. i think the stories of him being a good basketball player in junior high and/or high school are true.

@ Bj - Hi! I think that what you said about the size of someone's heart being more important than height is very true to the majority of sensitive and decent people. Unfortunately though, height is part and parcel of one's first impression! I wish it wasn't; I'm small myself!
Prince was a talented legend and very generous with it! It is tragic that he died so young. I read all sorts of different heights for him, the highest of which was 5ft5, but you are so right that he had a good heart. He helped other stars along and gave away his own self-penned songs.
The music industry lost a wonderful contributor when he passed.

In the movie Purple Rain Prince's character is the child of a mixed marriage. However in reality, Prince comes from a long line of light-skinned Blacks on both sides.

It seems fair to observe Prince was near or around 5' 2. His heels were rarely more than 3 inches. No doubt they added to his image but they also served to balance out a shorter leg length. So practicality / vanity were obvious considerations.

What a tragedy, so much talent embodied into a compact person. Prince was issued of a mixed race marriage, he saw beyond color, that was not his hang-up. He was a pure American original, a fine blend of soul, rock n'roll, funk and R&B. He was such a creative genius, hard working & gentile person. Prince and Michael Jackson will be missed. I am so devastated by their passing. They were both "one of a kind artists", Prince was a modern day Mozart - mastered an arrange of instruments from a very young age. MJ was a Genius singer & dancer.
Those guys were from my generation. May both RIP.

I am so devastated by their passing. They were both "one of a kind artists", Prince was a modern day Mozart - mastered an arrange of instruments from a very young age. MJ was a Genius singer & dancer.
Those guys were from my generation. May both RIP.

The heels certainly wouldn't have helped but people of any height get arthritis, men in general don't wear heels and get it but thinking about it women do seem to get it more in the hip so maybe the heels helped contribute to it. I've wore heels for over 40 years due to lack of height and I'm virtually a cripple now

If it is determined that Prince died of an overdose of opioid painkillers it may be plausibly argued that he died as an indirect result of being short. How so? Prince needed the painkillers to deal with joint pain caused by damage incurred by dancing on stage while wearing high-heeled boots. And he wore the high-heels to offset his lack of height.
Incidentally I understand that his death was tragic, and this post is not meant as a heartless joke.

Lol 4-11 is Danny Devito territory. In heels, Prince was as tall as James Brown when they got on stage together. Prince was 5-2 RIP

@Gregorevich
and not only that...but he produced satellite groups because he pioneered an entire sub-genre called "The Minneapolis Sound". The Time, Jesse Johnson, and others. The Time are very important because 2 ex-band members Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis brought the Minneapolis Sound even to Janet Jackson.
And that's great irony. Janet Jackson's immense success is owed to Michael Jackson's biggest rival. Janet's album "Control" is in the Prince's sub-genre and to a lesser extent "Rhythm Nation", Hits like "What have You Done For Me Lately" are 100% Minneapolis. In fact, in one of the songs, Janet Jackson yells the lyric "Minneapolis!".
BTW, "When Doves Cry" was the biggest song of 1984 and was the last certified platinum record by a solo artist before they lowered the standard for platinum.

It's hard for me to imagine that people do not appreciate his music. Besides all the songs he is known for (1999, Little Red Corvette, When Doves Cry, Lets Go Crazy, Purple Rain, Raspberry Beret, Kiss, Diamonds and Pearls, Most Beautiful Girl, etc) he also wrote songs that were hits for other singers. For example, he wrote "I Feel For you," which made Chaka Khan famous. And of course, he penned and composed "nothing compares 2 u," recorded by Sinead O'Connor as well as "Sugar Walls," sung by Sheena Easton. He also wrote and composed "Manic Monday," which was sung by the Bangles and was their first hit. His talent was immense. If his songs were not enough, he was probably one of the best guitarists who has ever lived.

jjjj, true but I meant Prince the rockstar not Prince the insecure kid. Prince made his weakness a strength. Most rockstars are short and petit small frame. James Brown said that to be onstage you need "hair and teeth" nothing about height and someone wrote an article about most rockstars had a big head with a small frame. Watch Lenny Kravitz, Prince, Jagger, James Brown, Sly Stone, Madonna, Tina Turner, Jim Morrison, etc some others like Zappa, Sting, dont look as good as they are more proportioned. Weird and intetesting.

I disagree with the statement that Prince hasn't been insecure about his height. He had a half-brother born the same year as him who looked a lot like him.. but was 5'11". This really ****ed with his self-esteem, that his brother and all of his cousins and friends were growing and he was stuck at 5'2". He even alluded to this in his song "Lady Cab Driver." But I think in the long run this has helped him to create an image as some flamboyant rock idol who's really small yet ****ed a million women, many famous celebrities. And it's helped his stage appearance as well... one could not imagine MJ being thrown into the air and landing in a split, while Prince could easily do this. I'm sure he's at peace with it now.

Prince said "I wear high heels because women love'em" and also because they look good on stage and got the idea from Carlos Santana and James Brown. He also said that The Jacksons wore flat shoes and it never looked right. Prince could dance his ass off with 7 inch high heel boots on which MJ couldnt even had walked!
An insecure guy about his height would hide lifts or use elevators BUT never show off his high heel women shoes.
So he doesnt care about his height.

Prince never came off to me as insecure about his height, guy has dated taller women throughout his career and wore heels as a part of his flamboyant style rather than to give the impression of being taller. Even refers to his short stature in his music.

Sophie, the height that this website has stated, 5ft 2in is about right. He probably only looked comparable to the hosts on The View thanks to his heels. Prince has publicly stated in media interviews that he has relied on his custom made shoes and "big hair" to give him extra height. Further to this, those who have worked with him professionally have stated that all publicity photographs of Prince have been done on angles that either create the illusion of Prince being taller, or at the very least, are photos in which his height is indistinguishable. While Prince sometimes appears self conscious of his height, at times he also seems to have a sense of humor about it. One magazine interviewing Kylie Minogue, an Australian pop star, asked Kylie about the day she met Prince and reportedly recorded a song with him, which to date has never been released. Kylie stated that Prince said to her that its always nice for him to meet a lady who he can look in the eye. Kylie herself is of a similar height to Prince.

Prince may not be tall (physically) he surely makes up for it with talent. He can play a multitude of instruments and he can sing his ass off. I saw him face to face do you think I was looking at his height? Heck no, I was checking out his clothes and that gorgeous face.

An awesome talent. Some people have posted pictures with prince standing next to some tall ladies who are wearing enormous heels as well. Prince is wearing heels too but so what? He's a pretty small guy so I guess that makes it understandable. Not sure why the likes of Brad Pitt wear height enhancing shoes though, vanity probably.

if u do ur research, u will c that he never wears heels higher than 3 inches, nowadays even less bcuz of orthopedic issues. he is about 5´6 in heels. how do i know? bcuz he was at no time ever more than 2 inches shorter than me and i am 5´8. there. let the flaming begin. LOL

I was crazy about Prince when i was a teen. I've always heard 5'2. What I'm wondering is if he has any medical diagnosis causing the shortness...I know he had a child that died of a rare skeletal disorder. Sometimes these things run in families. I'm not asking to be mean; I'm actually interested because there is a child with possible dwarfism in my family and now everybody is thinking back to why the child's mom was always so small, just 4'11, but no one considered it might be a genetic issue.

Is it just me or those high heeled ladies' shoes really make him look gay? Dunno why he doesn't wear elevator shoes like Bono or decent platforms like Dio did. But it doesn't matter.

Barefoot he's not taller than 5'2".

I'm 5'3. I stood by his wax figure at madame toussands in vegas, and he was a little shorter than me. When I looked down he was wearing the boots.I would say definitely under 5 ft w/out shoes...probably 4'11. However, what stood out to me was not his height, but how tiny he was in general...very thin limbs. But, at the end of the day, we are all unique,and he is an incredible artist who is loved world-wide and he will always be my favorite.

There were two guitar heavy projects. One was called the Undertaker which was given away in GUitar Player Magazine back in 94 or 95. He had an unrealeased project called the Rebels back in the early 80's along with Dez Dickerson.

i read in something that the reason he is short is because he was traumatized as a child because something flooded and he stopped producing a growth hormone. i read something about that and it can actually happen

I am 4ft 11in and shoot, it don't matter to me how tall Prince is. He has such a talent that can blow most people away! He is so mysterious! I've been a fan for years. Yeah, he's different, but why be so normal? I would LOVE to meet him! I'm sure I'd flip out though. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. Whether you like short, tall, dark, thin, chubby people, God made us all and we need to at least respect each other.

I'm not sure which project that is. The outside projects I can think of are New Power Generation, Vanity 6, Appollonia 6, The Revolution, Wendy and Lisa, The Family, Mazarati, Tamar, Madhouse, 94 East, and of course The Time. And he wrote for acts like Sheila E., Sheena Easton, Sinead O'connor, Jill Jones, Candy Dulfer, The Bangles, Stevie Nicks. Maybe you're referring to something specifically 90's. I'm not sure about his 90's stuff.

I liked "Around The World In a Day" too, and it produced some popular stuff like "Rasberry Beret", "Pop Life", "America". Its just that some ppl couldn't understand the timing. They were looking for a follow up to "Purple Rain" and considered this to be a very radical turn in a different direction. It was quality work that some labeled as "pop art" which is a far cry from the previous album.

His best work were the albums "For You"'78, "Prince"'79,"Dirty Mind"'80,"Controversy"'81,"1999"'82,"Purple Rain"'83,"Parade"'86, "Sign of the Times"'87, "Batdance"'89 and various party jams that were released as only singles like "Erotic City". Also some of the songs he wrote for other artists were better than stuff he released for himself (and definitely more commercial). And he is the leader of the Minneapolis Sound which even Janet Jackson is an offshoot of (from '86 to '92) because her writers were Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. And though I think Morris Day is underrated, his ghost writer for his group The Time was Prince who used the names "Alexander Nevermind" and "Jamie Starr". His misses in the '80's were only "Around The World In a Day"'85 and "Lovesexy"'88

I have been a Prince fan since the early eighties and have always been a loyal fan of his and that will never ever change. i love him and do not care one jot about how tall or small he is. Who gives a f... anyways? It's his massive talent that is important to me. He is a musical genius and has always been way ahead of his time with his music but most ignorant people do not get that and just class him as a weirdo or gay or soemthing else. Ignorance is bliss they say.... well, not in this case. Just let him get on with his life and as long as he is happy doing what he does and doesn't hurt anybody. he will always be my favourite artist in the whole world and my favourite song of all times is and always will be'PURPLE RAIN'. Never has there been a better song which has moved me to tears more than that song and to this day I listen to it everyday if I can. Especially in my car. So, tall, short, who cares? I love Prince!!!

Prince became a Jehovah's Witness only in recent years! He's been a musician since the 70's. And no, it is not agaist his religion to take pictures with fans!

My mother met the artist backstage at a festival in the late 70s, they spent about 15 minutes talking whilst she prepared the costumes for the next performance. He's really nice and soft spoken, and not haughty in the least, but this crap about 5'2" is just that - crap. He took off his shoes about a metre away from my mother, and she says he went from her height (5'3.5") to no more than 4'11" - for sure. Her sister (my aunt) is 4'11" so my mother knows what someone that size looks like by heart - they were the exact same height.

In 1999, Prince, his bodyguards, and two amazing hotties ran into us in a club in Paris. Packed dance floor, and they parted us like the Dead Sea. My friend, who is 5' 3" (160 cm) was with me, and she was taller than Prince. I couldn't see if was wearing platforms, but there's no way he's taller than five feet (152.4 cm).

Prince Rodgers Nelson is 5'2" according to his bio page. However, I photographed Prince by in the 80's. When I met him backstage he came to my shoulder right a little higher than where my mother comes to and she's only 4'11". He is a very short man. He had on 6" heels then. I believe he is really about 4'11".

It is VERY HARD to find a picture of Prince AKA The Artist beside anybody.
But the Grammy Performance with BEYONCE who is 5'5" or 5'6" shows that he could be a little bit taller than posted here. Beyonce is bent down, but then she has high heels so that cancels both advantages. Prince's feet are hidden, so he may have stilts here...

Actually,now that I recall,my friend has a photo of Prince signing for him.they arnt posing,but both are in the picture and it was at his height(pun?) during the PURPLE RAIN period.thats the only photo I saw or heard of.I climbed on top of a huge truck once in 1991,cause I was threatened, and snapped him coming out of concert NPG period,at a club.the picture made the papers and tabloids.a small handful of my photos did.

I've met Prince on 2 occassions and he is incredibly tiny and petite. Like a frail child.
He wears 5" high heels too and has tiny.
Very small but musically gifted man!!
