SUN NEWSPAPER PROTEST

I have just sent 2 e-mails to 'The Sun' newspaper complaining about their article on Prince in todays edition. If you would like to do the same, particularly pointing out the incorrect details regarding Prince's recent successes I urge you to do so.

Perhaps if enough of us write, they will sit up and take notice. Below is the e-mail I have sent:

To: letters@the-sun.co.uk

Subject: PRINCE

Dear Letters,



Before attacking Prince in what is obviously a biased and opinionated (and probably false) article, you should at least bother to get your facts right concerning his recent successes.



His last UK hit was not '1999' in 1999 as you claimed, but in 2004 when his 'Musicology' album reached number 3 in the UK albums chart. The worldwide sales of 'Musicology' currently exceed double platinum.



In 2004 he was inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame and had the highest grossing US tour of 2004 earning over $84 million dollars.



His last UK tour in 2002 was a sell-out. His next UK tour is highly anticipated, as is his new album '3121' released by Universal in march.



Clearly people are still interested in Prince, much more interested than you are in getting your facts right.



Yours



Antony Hitchin
