No Piccy in Paris Story in News of the World

Prince mentioned in English sunday paper (News of the World). The article is called "Behind the Pictures" and features a nice pic from the LoveSexy era.

It reads like this : -

PURPLE REIGN, PURPLE PAIN : Call him what you like, but nobody tells pop's Prince what to do.

Before all the name changes,the artist was simply known as Prince. Still, celebrity snapper Dave Hogan remembers that the weeny star demanded to be treated like royalty during his massive Purple Rain tour back in 1984.

"You never quite know what the guy is going to do next" says Dave. "At his opening concert in Paris, he specified that no pictures were to be taken. I smuggled all the camera gear in anyway, but just before the gig he took all my equipment away from me.

"He then sat me in the front row with two of his huge bodyguards sitting on either side. I had to stay there throughout the whole show while Prince was doing his stuff and gyrating with his guitar right in front of me".

"It really is excruciating for a photographer to be put in that situation without his camera".
