Any celebs, liggers or has beens spotted lurking around last night?

Sara Cox is going on Friday.

I expect at some point someone will see Lenny Henry and Ian Wright, they're both huge Prince fans.

Beverley Knight and Ed Byrne are massive fans so I'd expect them to pop up a few times.

Didn't see anyone at the arena - and probably wouldn't have given that there are two tiers of corporate boxes between the Lower Tier and Upper Tier that we can buy ticets for.

Would guess and celeb would be in the boxes.

We were against the rail at the IndgO2 which is under the upstairs Kings Row seats so couldn't see there either.

Bill Oddie is a tiny Prince fan.

I don't know about last night but during the Nude tour I was standing at the urinal next to Bill Oddie!

amazing show....that encore was amazing. got within a few feet of my hero!!!
as for celebs i saw maxi from faithless as we were walking around outside before the show. not sure where he was sitting but he got some food an drink and then we lost sight of him.

Maxi Jazz is a certified legend!!! If you've had the honour of seeing Faithless live you'll know what I mean. Would have loved to have met him and shaken the man's hand!

Never knew that!!...kind of makes sense though, I remember Lenny Henry doing a hilarious impression of Prince in his stand up shows..."No one shags a mike-stand quite like Prince does"...!

Bill Oddie is an obsessive Prince fan. Memorabilia all over his house apparently.

I was in the queue for the aftershow behind Emma B from Radio 1. Does she count as a celeb? Probably not.

Krish said:

Yeah, apparently he has a massive mural of the picture on the back of the Dirty Mind cover. Which I find slightly unsettling, for some reason.

I've only seen Prince once before at One Nite Alone and I saw Bill Oddie outside too

Maxi Jazz or whatever his name is from Faithless was standing next to us in the O2 bar...

Saw Lenny Henry in the VIP queue for the Indigo.
And saw Emma B inside, dancing (obviously a big fan).

I like Emma B.

There were a few Celebs upstairs at the indigo2

Lamar and Corrine bailey ray (sp on both)

There were also a few other celeb looking types but I am not a big fan of celeb spotting so I wouldn't know them from adam. Nobody who I would call really famous, like Bill Oddie or Leo Sayer (whom I saw at the Apollo)

Puppa Sparx LOvefoxxx * was there too.

* big (literally) UK porn celebrity

Lenny was there last night

Who was the guy in the pink suit!?!? He HAD to be a celebraty but was too far away to see properly. Everyone must have spotted that guy!

CCorrine Bailey Ray came down from Kings Row half way through the show. I spoke to her briefly, she had a bit of a dance and then left.

Did any see lenny seat dancing!? He was loving it!

Does she count as a fan, probably not! I saw her covering the show on BBC Breakfast this morning and she didn't seem to be able to get beyond tracks on Purple Rain...

Oddly the Telegraph are promising day by day reviews of every gig (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2007/08/02/nosplit/bmprince102.xml), I was wondering if, out of the kindness of my heart, I should offer to help...

I'll bet Jeff Beck makes it to one of the shows.

WE saw the bloke from grange hill on the boat back that was the highlight of our nite!!

Yeah that's the guy. Brave man then! People around me were saying it must have been Peter Stringfellow

Did the regular bootlegger guys get kicked out? I saw them scurry off at one point?
