Rumour control: if no one can confirm, please remove post. This is just a heads up.

A friend of mine is in line for the Paradiso gig right now and she posted on Facebook she heared "solid rumours" of extra gigs on tuesday and wednesday.

Who can confirm any of this?

According to final sentence in this report, an extra gig on Monday is neither confirmed, nor denied...

anyways, for now this is what I dragged off Twitter...

Prince KAN spelen als hij wilt. Paradiso is gereserveerd voor hem. Vooralsnog NIETS over een mogelijk concert

Prince can play if he wishes. Paradiso is reserverd for him. For now NOTHING about a possible concert..

some things have already changed at Paradise like Jillis said, so I guess it's on for tonight!.. (Fingers crossed)

It was an option. But not anymore. He cancelled the options.

So, no more concerts in Paradiso.



Well, this week that is.....................

OK, this thread may ass well be closed then

Why? Because somebody took pictures?

No. That can't be the reason.


I don't know what happenend.


I can't imagine that they were bored with Amsterdam already

rafael said:

Perhaps a lucrative gig in portugal?

Yeah, that's what I heard.


Well, good for them.


I can only hope that they like Paradiso so much, that they want to come back some time again.

Still, you have to round up business 'correctly' before running

Paying Prince at the end of the concert (or for Warner's sake, after delivering the album instead beforehand).

I don't understand.

He did not promise anybody an extra concert in Amsterdam.

There was an option, and now the option is declined.

What's not correct about that?

Paradiso has experience with Prince. They will not anounce anything official about a concert from him, until they are absolutely certain he will be there.

And the extra concerts were just rumours.

Nobody officially said anything about it.

It's about the second concert and the rush they went into by starting earlier (that's a first) and keeping it shorter than they earlier intended just because the extra gig got through halfway between the paradiso gigs. It is no biggie but it seems a bit how P does his things. Preparartion and the landing are big but execution sometimes falters a bit halfway (distraction, new toys, new horizon to look at, etc). When you decide 2 do 2 shows instead of one put your heart in both.But again it is a small thing in light what we got.

I don't know if that was the reason for the 'short' 2nd show.

Doesn't make sense to me that it was because of the Portugal gig. We just won't know.
