From Housequake. Some info on why the Dublin concert was canceled.

Good.

Now hopefully people will lay off Prince.

This cancellation is clearly not his fault, AT ALL.

People will STILL find something to blame Prince for with this. It's how Prince fans roll nowadays, even if there is proof that he's innocent of whatever.

purplecam said:

Those people shouldn't be on this site.

I hope all of those people that threw negative words at him about this whole fiasco are eating those words right now after reading what happened.

Militant said:

You need to get out of my head! That's exactly what I'm thinking too.

Thanks.

it does seem of late people pick at every little thing he does, plenty of artist cancel concerts but hey if its prince its wrong but try telling or explaining things to them your blasted and accused of worshiping but hey im not getting all worked up cause a concert was canceled so whos the worshiper

cream72 said:

You know you speaking the truth right there.

purplecam said:

Damn Right

cream72 said:

Sure they do, but until now there was no explination for this. Even this info isn't completely solid. LOOOOADS or other things could have happened. It's all about the communication here, or lack of it really. The man really needs his own site up and running. I don't think it would hurt...

Ziggystars said:

Granted people do need a statement pretty quickly, but then again people could also reserve judgment, having said that though would the haters really believe what he says at this point i dont think they would

cream72 said:

Except that, in this case, it now appears that there was never a concert to cancel. MCD tried to pull a fast one - and coerce Prince into playing a date he'd already told them wasn't going to fly.

People have gone off half cocked and misdirected their anger at Prince. Seems there are a lot of folks who owe him an apology. He, on the other hand, owes none.

Ah no, give prince fans some credit! They have a right to be furious...
Just with no explanation people's imaginations run rampant.

it's amazing how no one on prince's side is even making a comment. I wonder if they ever will... 55'000 fans left without an explanation?

hmm..

You need to get out of my head too. Everybody's saying what I've been thinking and saying the last day or 2. Prince could give the most detailed explanation he's ever given as to why the show was cancelled and a loads of fans won't believe him. I've said if before but it bears repeating, Prince WON'T win with his fans.

purplecam said:

all it takes is an immediate acknowledgement of the facts and all is good. But Prince doesn't have a history of doing that does he?

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Should he release an acknowledgement/apology of what's happened? Of course. Will it make a difference around here? Doubt it GREATLY.

purplecam said:

It would do one thing. Allow no room for debate! Instead, he'll gladly pour gas on a lit match

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Shit's going to go down no matter what Prince does or doesn't do around here.

purplecam said:

Who's to blame? don't be a dumbass and nobody will say shit

Shame the 3121 site wasn't up and running, could of told us through that or "Dr Funkenberry"!

I hope MCD have lost out on big bucks if this is true

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Very funny dumbass There's a lot of blame to go around, including Prince but there are other threads around this forum and the Concert forum that has it more in detail about what went down.

Sad but true.

purplecam said:

It's the fans who are damned really. They can't complain without fambots setting up crucifixions in their frontyards.

Ziggystars said:

I fully agree

this is still unsubstantiated news, plausible as it reads.

and it also should be part of the sticky thread posted at the top of the page.
