Memorial Day Weekend - Prince's final 3 shows at Forum

He anounced it at the end of the "jazz cafe"show at the House of Blues tonight. This weekend will be his last three shows at the Forum. If you haven't seen him yet, buy your tickets!

I knew it--I had a GUT FEELING that Memorial Day weekend would be the last at the Forum before he heads off to Europe. Well, the gut was right and that is why I snapped up tix. Thanks for letting us know defintely from P himself.

Oh well. Guess not my luck. Bought a plane ticket from East coast to LA for June 8th just yesterday in hopes there would be 6 more shows in June. US Airways double charged me for the ticket and I now have to wait 7-10 days for a refund. And now this news today. pissed pissed pissed

Okay... make of it what U will.. But the exact quote was... "We've got three more nights at the Forum" That's what he said during the 2nd show at HOB....

I'd grab my tickets this weekend if you haven't yet... Still, U never know what that meant.

This is not a direct quote... I think that's what he meant too, but he did not say "LAST". He said 3 more shows.

Yeah, in fairness he did NOT say "...and that's it...thank u LA." I've heard that he has the venue booked through the first week of June and he has another large venue in LA booked for at least three nights following that...not street chatter but from an informed, reliable source...so take it for what it's worth.

Three more nights at the Forum does not necessarily mean the end of the LA residency. Nor does it mean that more nights can't be added.

And just as I predicted, he flunks out long before the full 21 nights run was done.

I was there last nite & although he didn't outright say it, I got the impression this weekend is it at the forum, I thought he said "we have 3 shows left at the forum,fri,sat,sun" I hope it's not it though.

I'm pretty sure he said "last" or "final" shows because I remember looking at the guy to my right and he had the same reaction I did: "Oh damn, it's the last weekend."

We are hoping to make it back from Vegas in time to hit up the Forum Box Office and see if the "Price Drop" may happen once the show starts. Sounds like because of the buzz of it being possibly the last night, it may be tight, but worth the effort. It would make our 4th night with him, so here's hoping. If not, we still got the memories to dance off of.

12 is 21 backwards
Or
21 is 12 backwards
Backwards or forwards in the space-time continuum is all the same.

"We have three shows left at the Forum. Friday, Saturday and Sunday." YES, I believe that's what he said. Sounds pretty definite to me.

so now $70 is considered a drop and not $25?
