On Liverstream someone called Grace saying that he's on stage at 3am (through a friend), but I see his manager tweeted Channel4 so maybe they're the media outlet for this - but I don't see Channel 4 abandoning whatever dross they have on to go live from there - that doesn't happen these days does it really!

I do wonder what exactly she DOES as a manager

Do you think Prince does everything himself? like a one man band? lol Arraging his flight, managing his money, contracts, promotion, negotiating deals etc... We know he is talented but not that talented.

Ha! I don't presume anything with Prince, least of all a plan, but you're probably correct

so the tour is to celebrate the release of the album, right?

but when will it be released? you'd think it would be any

day now, but with prince you never know. perhaps they

I can imagine the wife's response if I said I'm driving from Preston now to get to Camden for 3am! As it is I'll struggle to be awake in case there's a Livestream.

Rumour is 8th to 16th residency electric ballroom

So there's nothing tomorrow night then? By reference to Wednesday, it just means 3 a.m. Wednesday morning yes?

Would be a right effort trying to get tickets, holds about 1000 max i think

From facebook earlier, might be some truth in it if they are updating their website???

My guess is Prince will show up at the Electric Ballroom, if that is where it is, in a few hrs time, announce dates/venues etc to the media and then, maybe, just maybe we will all actually know something concrete

On the last night of the 21 nights in London tour at the O2, everybody was given purple glow sticks on their way in. Some idiot decided to throw one at Prince mid-song and it hit him.

It confusing. I'm pretty sure there is a show tomorrow night. But we might know more at 2pm tomorrow.....or tonight!

lol, really wish he would.. i was at that gig & was disgusted...he handled it like a true pro.

Electric Ballroom? Not exactly iconic.

Look forward to a real announcement.

God damn it Prince, I wait this long for you to come back to the UK and you play teeny tiny venues and give me no chance to get tickets [probably]. Grrrrrr.

Not exactly iconic venues London though is it?

1000 capacity is too big for only journos, they will want an atmosphere!
