Fans that are trying to let Prince off the hook for continued maltreatment have the equivalent of Stockholm syndrome - where the abducted person falls for their kidnapper.

Wake up from his spellbinding hold on you. Prince is a mortal. He is a man that is incredibly talented, wealthy and privileged, idolised by millions, which means that he more than most has a duty to behave in a fair and thoughtful manner.

Suing your fans for taking pictures and filming your shows on their mobile phones for prosperity is repulsive. Canceeling a show so late in the day without giving a direct and thorough explanation is repellent and unforgivable. Sorry to say but our Messianic, musical genius is a selfish and delusional creature.

I would even go as far as to say that he was downright outrageous to Warners, who gave him the largest and most inflated record deal in history, gave him unheard of control for a major label artist. Even then he threw a childish tantrum.

You'll probably say I'm being too negative and that I should not follow him if I have so little faith. But I liken his behaviour over time after years of support as actions similar to your best mate running off with your wife, your longterm business partner running off with all the money etc.

If he is genuinely ill or something then I retract my criticism, but his fans have suffered too much to not be given credible reasons.

Im not making excuses for him. I would like a proper explanation, I hope he makes a statement if it was for personal reasons. But we all know that is not likely.

It is poor to cancel so late in the day but it would have been the same weeks ago, still alot of people would have been affected, it just feels worse now because we were all looking forward to it and it was close.

They only got the license last week, so it must have been touch and go for the promoters all the way through. Maybe the license was restrictive, and i doubt the council or whoever is going to own up to that. I cannot understand why it took so long for the license to be granted, there must have been a problem somewhere.

i think the best you can hope for on a statement has already been said

PRINCE AND MCD REGRET.....

he has form BLENHEIM , SIGN O THE TIMES UK LEG

85000 at £100 per ticket - when the majority of his audience would have to fly was always gonna be a stretch for me
