Stuff like this makes prince.org harder and harder to come back to. The rumors of financial ruin have been pervasive for 25 years and it's so <yawn>. Every indicator shows he's flush with cash, other than the ones you make up.

I think you misunderstand my comments. For a guy with the artistic vision and freedom that Prince evidently wants, he needs solid revenue streams or he won't be able to sustain the cost of all his toys (multiple studios, rehearsal spaces, session players, facilities team etc etc etc). Its basic economics. I don't think I said anything about financial ruin as far as I can rememeber. What he is doing is a good way of making revenue pretty quickley while minimising costs. Its just efficient and his audience get something they haven't seen from him before. So I'm yawning at your comments as I type this over your overlly precious attitude towards a pretty innocuous statement!!!

None of us really know the "basic economics" of running Paisley Park, or Prince's income, in 2015. There's as much evidence that this is a cash grab as there is that it isn't

Why r u so rude to people, homie? Shit is no unnecessary....

It's amazing what the MODS let u get away with...

Man he is taking the sampler set to new heights!!

This guy named Dr. funkenberry (very ridiculous name if you ask me) is saying the Belgium show will be December 22, not november. That would be more likely since the Royal Circus is already booked in November.

Dr Funkenberry although talks alot about Prince, generally does get drip fed info and often correct or there about.

I think they give him just enough info for him to keep him tweeting and blogging about Prince

glasgow royal concert hall is free 14th to 16th december seemingly.....first time he has ever played liverpool as well...few irish friends will be aiming for that one i think...these venues are tiny for prince so mad scramble for tickets will begin soon...

the concert in Vienna on Nov 21st seems to be quite difficult...

December 22nd ... Oh yes, my prayers have just been heard !

But I'm aware I'll have to do much more praying to ensure I can get my hands on a ticket for this show because if it will really go ahead in a small venue such as the Royal Circus in Brussels, this is not going to be easy...

Maybe it's part of his accompanying tour Piano, a Microphone and an Orchestra.

We need details! Dammit

Details will be released on Thursday

LOL. But i'm thinkly sadly it's probably going to be him and Josh. This is probably Prince's idea of solo.

Tiny venues like that will all indeed sell out in 5 minutes flat. But us Prince fans don't need to worry I think, since we probably all will be refreshing the ticket-site a day in advance

The only piano solo tours i ever liked are ToriAmos ones...not sure what to expect here.After that 'shut this down' & 'hardrocklover' make you scream moments, he goes solo ...

Gghghrhg, Austria & Italy so close to me...but yet so distant.

price?? 500 €?

For current confirmed dates, approximate capacity appears to be:

Konzerthaus (Großer Saal), Vienna, Austria - 1,800

this proabably still needs confirmation, this site still says it's either Konzerthaus or Burgtheater

I'm sacared waht the ticket prices will be ...

Oh yeah ... I heard normal tickets for the tour might be around 300€

Vienna more likely on Nov 24th http://wegotit.at/geruecht-prince-am-21-november-in-wien/
