when p decided to go up to the balcony he had to go through the bar to get there. imagine my surprise when the fire exit door next to the dj booth opens and the man is there still keeping the groove going on his guitar. he stopped 3 foot away, everyone crowded around, he carried on playing for at least 40 seconds and then made his way up to the balcony! insane!!!!

I went backstage and shook his hand last night. Don't think I will ever get over it!

Yoda, where you wearing a purple 21 nights in London T-shirt? If that was you, you were sitting near me in the mainshow, glad you managed to get tixs.

Yeah, it's crazy when Prince goes into the crowd I was standing by those doors waiting for my friend once and Prince walked passed me to go to Kings Row to watch a bit of Beverly Knight and then walked by on the way to backstage again.

Would've been so cool to be standing next to him when he was playing his guitar, see going to the bar during the show is not alwasy a bad thing

It was great! Normally I'm at the front but last night was on King's Row dancing away when he made his way upstairs and played his guitar about 2 metres away from me. I thought i'd hate the balcony but it seemed pretty good last night!

How the hell did you do that and can i get a job where you work if thats what they do. WOW HOW LUCKY ARE YOU i would not have washed my hand.

i was close enough to touch him on the way back down too. I've been super lucky with these gigs

It is fascinating seeing him so close up as you notice so many new little nuances. I was strangely and alluringly draw to his very bony knees at one aftershow.....

I was there too (pregnant in black skirt and top). I had only just retreated to the back a few songs earlier, as there was a little more space and a lot less beer spilling going on. What fantastic luck, hey!

It was a crazy few moments - I'm glad everyone showed enough respect, gave him some space and danced our butts off instead of trying to maul P...

I think he actually took the security guys by surprise! As he headed to the lift they were scrambling across the floor - it seemed to me like they were trying to work out where he went
