In the press conference, he said he's touring with some "old friends." Who could this be? Wendy & Lisa? Dr. Fink? Sheila? I hope it's not Larry.

i don't thing it will be larry or chaka, because their not really OLD friends
i have a feeling it is sheila, wendy and lisa, apollonia, ans the time
fingers crossed
and prince, you better come to cleveland again.....

I think more than one era is involved...Sheila's always kinda been around. I think Wendy and or Lise is around...and Sonny and Or Michael B as well...

I hope he plays at First Avenue, so I can get a bootleg of him under those blue lights and dimly lit small stage. Those are the best shows. Brown Mark would make it cool, too.

the same reason you don't.

tripp said:

apollonia! pretty sure she won't be there.

MickG said:

Ok, I'll bite...what? Is my thread too boring for you? 'Cause I suspect you just like to get people going.

8up said:

I like getting people going in their own minds. I don't like to people off. I think it's all fun and games here. The thread is boring and predictable. I have seen several like this very thread. Such speculitive threads should be left to the fans.

my prediction: sheila, sonny b, wendy/lisa

no...I'm not a fan...I just play one on the internet.

I think it sounds more and more like Prince's new band will be basically the crew who appeared with him at the NAACP awards Vanguard jam.

So, basically Shiela E and The Time.

I really think talk of Wendy & Lisa is wishful thinking based on him performing Reflection with Wendy and showing up to watch one of their performances.
