Rumours going around about Royal Albert hall tomorrow.

Before you try and start rumours please check to see if the Royal Albert Hall has other shows on tomorrow night...and they have!

And for any rumours, please can people put source where possible - e.g.

Prince is rumoured to be playing in my kitchen with 3EG tonight. I've put the kettle on, honey is at the ready, and I have a raffle book of 2 tickets for fans - it's a small kitchen.

Source - me, just now, my twitter account

Hammersmith has cock all booked for February, 7th, 9th, 15th, 22nd, 23rd and 28th are the only nights with stuff on

That would be my dream venue. The three ONA gigs were awesome. Great venue. Just the right size. Oh but I want a ticket please - no general admission BS

Hammersmith is a decent venue, but this BAND need to play at Brixton Academy... its ideal

That was the excuse. That wasn't the reason.

What was the reason? I was one of those who had tix and was absolutely gutted it got cancelled. I remember going up to Wembley with friends to get our refund on the day of the planned gig. Sun was shining, it was glorious - rubbed a lot of salt in the wound!

Poor ticket sales. He made the mistake of releasing two nights at the same time. Didn't sell enough on both nights. He would have done it if he had done one night. A year later, he only just sold 70,000 in London for Lovesexy.

The show went ahead in the pooring rain in Europe no problem. At one of the nights I went to in Holland it tipped it down. Show went on as nomal. The SOTT stage had a roof.

Did you witness the general admission issues at those shows? Bedlam!

I just phoned Ronnie Scotts and the lady told me there was no chance that he was coming. She said he was supposed to come last night and he didn't show up. When i said i saw the rumour from the official twitter, she said that they were not going to kick out 300 customers again on someone who turns up if he wants to. She said trust me, he isn't coming and he had his chance last night. She sounded pissed off that i was asking as well, saying her manager is pissed off with him and wouldn't change her mind !!

I was tempted to go, but am now wondering if its worth the trip. I may be making the same mistake i made yesterday and tuesday night as well though.

So they kicked out 300 people last night? Strange

I guess that's pretty definitive then. Right. Right? Aggghhh. What if she's a bare faced liar. This is doing my head in

They have a membership there which allows free admission to the club every night after 11pm. So potentially they kicked out 300 people or stopped entry to the late showing to allow Prince to come.

It makes sense that this was the original plan, but after the fiasco outside they did the right thing and played two gigs for the fans who stood out in the wind and rain all day.

I still think if Prince turns up to the club tonight though, they will do whatever he says though.

Why send out the teaser for tonight on twitter then?.... just to mess with P fans?

Thats the bit that didn't make sense. I said your official twitter hints that he might turn up. and she said 'i dont know who wrote that but trust me he isn't coming. My general manager is right beside me and will not let it happen again.

Who knows? i know if i don't go, he will turn up, and if i do, he won't !!

If anyone else wants to try ringing them ring 020 7439 0747 and stay on the phone after they say the box office is closed.

To be honest I have tried many times to get into Ronnie Scotts on a weekend without success so the chance of actually getting in if Prince plays there is almost zero.

Oh well thats Ronnie Scott's out as a potential venue in the future

reading into the tweet, i think they have decided that they will not close the club or kick anyone out tonight, and if he turns up then they might start making arrangements for him.

Not sure if thats enough to warrant a 2hr drive though.

I was in the queue at Camden yesterday and mid afternoon we were hearing there was going to be 2 shows. A couple of hours before we went in, we were being told everyone in the queue would get in, so it was planned to do 2 shows quite early on I think.

I was also talking to guy in the queue who was friends with the manager at Ronnie Scott's...there is no way he would have queued for 5 hours at Camden if Ronnie Scott's had been planned.

Finally I really do not beleive that Prince would get turned away from Ronnie Scott's. Can you imagine the doorman refusing him entry ..... come on!

Prince via Nicola S is front page of The Sun Newspaper .... 24hrs is a long time in showbiz ....guess those door will open again for him!

Has this already been posted? If so, apologies:

"It’s an odd thing to suggest, but if Prince has a weakness, it might be that he is just too talented. He does so many things incredibly well, the one thing he can’t seem to do is stay focused on the singular. 3rdEyeGirl are an incredible precision-built heavy rock band who, it strikes me, are just too playful and funky for hardcore heavy rock fans."

Not me. Last train to London already left. If we drove to Stanmore it would take 90 mins and there wouldn't be a tube anyway!
