Prince to air tonights concert on TV

Hi everyone,

First time on the org! Has anyone read this???

Prince concert to air live on Sky

Prince's hits include Purple Reign and When Doves Cry
Pop star Prince will broadcast two songs live on TV on Friday as his 21-night residency at London's O2 arena draws to a close.
The tracks will be played exclusively on Sky News at the time of the gig.

Tickets for the final concert are selling for hundreds of pounds online, despite a face value of £31.21.

Some aftershow tickets have exchanged hands for up to £500. The singer, whose career spans four decades, has won rave reviews for his O2 performances.

The Mirror said Prince "reasserted himself as one of the most exciting showmen on the planet".

Classical musician Julian Lloyd Webber, writing in the Daily Telegraph, called the Minneapolis musician a "great performer", who reminded him of a "latter-day Cliff Richard".

Beatles' cover

The star has performed a different set every night, incorporating hits such as Sign O' The Times, Kiss, Controversy and Raspberry Beret alongside fan favourites like Sometimes It Snows In April.

Last week, he was joined onstage by Sir Elton John for a cover of The Beatles' The Long and Winding Road.

He has also made regular appearances at aftershow parties at the O2's Indigo venue, jamming with his band and support acts until the small hours of the morning.

Fans have been banned from taking photographs or video footage on their mobile phones at the gigs but many still posted clips on video sharing website YouTube before Prince demanded they were removed.


Prince was seated in the audience before taking to the stage

Earlier this week, the star surprised guests at one of London Fashion Week's catwalk shows when he leapt on stage to give a surprise performance.

The crowd at Matthew Williamson's show were astonished when the first two models on the catwalk started to dance.

Prince then began singing into a microphone from his seat before jumping up and performing on the runway.

"He really wanted to do this, and you don't say no to Prince," Williamson told Reuters after the show.
