The Artist We Still Call Prince may land in court soon — whether the normally reclusive musician likes it or not. The Artist may be called downtown to testify in the case of two alleged con artists charged with stealing more than $250,000 from investors who thought they were buying shares in the purple one's concerts.



Jeffrey Brewer, 46, of Princeton, and Eric Moore, 28, of Raleigh, N.C., were charged with fraud and grand larceny in August for allegedly cheating four people and keeping the money for themselves. Defense attorneys wouldn't sign a stipulation saying that the accused men had no connection with The Artist, and "this is going to make it a three-ring circus," one official told The News' Barbara Ross.
