Which will be the musicians that will play with Prince at the 02Arena?

Wendy? Lisa? Sheila E? Renato? .... ?

This is widely tipped to be the full line up

Santa Claus on Drums
Rudolph on percussion (they work well 2gether)
Cinderella and Prince Charming on Keys
The 3 blind mice on Brass
Kermit the frog on Guitar
Snow White on Bass with the 7 dwaffs providing stage security and backing vocals




Seriously, I really don't mind who is up there with him, Sheila, lisa, Wendy. I'm sure they will be great shows every 1 of them and will proberbly be slightly different evey night.

On a personal note i would like to C Eric Leeds on one of the nights I'm attending.

Is it true that Donald Rumsfeld will play the harpsichord or is it just a rumour?

I've heard there's going to be an entire skin flute orchestra

Well, before you mentioned it, it was an unknown unknown. Know it's a known unknown. But we still don't know.

...check this out!

"One of music's greatest innovators is set to make a guest appearance in Prince's band at the o2 arena in London this autumn. Dressed somewhat bizarrely as Darth Vader, he will be drafted in to play saxophone, as Maceo Parker of James Brown fame is apparently said to be exhausted due to the rigours of touring being well into his retirable age.

In a piece of extraordinary live arena theatre, we can exclusively reveal the Lord of the dark side will then have a musical duel of good vs evil with bass-man and funk legend Larry Graham.

Inside sources who've been witness to rehearsals claim to have seen a thrilling climax to the end of the proposed stadium concert where Prince attempts to slay Vader by playing new track 'Guitar' and soloing like a man possessed, all of which is orchestrated against the backdrop of a spectacular light show. It's mooted that Larry Graham will then exit stage left, while Vader will fall to the floor, whereby his helmet will crack and fall open...to reveal Sly Stone's face grinning underneath the mask! Rumours are gathering pace due to Sly's being in the UK at the end of July to play his first European shows in over 30 years.

An encore of Everyday People and Purple Rain will then follow."

Just remember - u heard it here first Rainbow Children! Weird or what?!

it's very harsh of you (Tokyo) to say Larry is the evil side. I thought we were passed that by now Is any resemblance with 'Crossroads' purely accidental?

I was under the impression that Darth Vader and the Dark Side were evil.

I agree Roverlo - get your facts straight...u talk as if you've never seen the Star Wars trilogy!

Plus Larry always wears white...

The good news is that as Prince is a real film buff, he won't be 'confused' and will slay the evil Sly (symbolically of course).

Just fun, nothing ethereal!
