At this point I just hope that he is ok and gets past all of the crap with Mani without too much damage to his heart and soul. Just for the way that the situation is being portrayed in the media, it's got to hurt, I also wish that Mani would just go away..and let him recover from what I see as a big betrayal because she just didn't get her way. I do not believe that he is involved intimately with Tamara but see's the potential in the womans career and believes in her ability to make her dreams come true with a bit of help. He really is a Prince and I admire and respect him.
Just imagine if we all had a talent and a mentor like that ...I bet there would be a lot less bitchin from frustrated people on this thread. But then again who knows-maybe Mani just had the baby and it's all a big media blitz to protect the child. Anyway, the kids went to bed early, dinner turned out great and I had three beers! Life is cool today. No pictures please!! Love to all and to all good night! [Edited 7/31/06 17:38pm] Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric. | |

You should rephrasae your question to make it a bit more specific...
To paraphrase something a wise Orger once told me: Asking if Prince will tour is like asking if it will rain. Chances pretty damn good that yes, it will rain...eventually. We don't always know when or where it will rain, but rest assured it will. Thus, my answer is: of course there will be a tour. Prince makes music and goes on tour--that's what he does. Now will there be a tour in conjunction with 3121, or will there be a tour starting this summer is a different question entirely. So what you really wanna know is when the tour will start and where the first stop is, right?  [Edited 7/31/06 17:44pm] The check. The string he dropped. The Mona Lisa. The musical notes taken out of a hat. The glass. The toy shotgun painting. The things he found. Therefore, everything seen–every object, that is, plus the process of looking at it–is a Duchamp. | |

 It's not going to be a tour face it. Be glad if you saw him during the Musicology Tour. I really think it's going to be awhile before he goes on the road again. He might keep doing his small venue thing but not everyone will want to or be able to spend $300.00 & up to see him. | |

Somebody posted the lyrics to the song "Love" in the "Manuela files for Divorce" thread. If is about her, then maybe she has wished that she was gonna change Prince into someone he is not. | |

The ONLY thing that matters is something OFFICIAL from Prince.
That's IT. | |

Well its strange i think all the crap that went on in 96 to him, he actually toured more than ever for emancipation. I dont think there will be a tour at this point maybe a show or two, something low key, but with the delay in Tamar's cd, the recent events with Mani and the NPG closing, i really dont think there will be anything for awhile, but then again with him who knows, he could announce a tour tomorrow.

I can't see there being any sort of tour for promotion of 3121 -- we're approaching four and a half months since the album was released, which in Prince terms is like saying we're halfway to hearing snippets of the next project altogether. I don't see there being some long hiatus before we see or hear something new from Prince, but I just don't seeing it being related to 3121 anymore. It debuted at number 1, sold amazingly well for no radio play, and it's pretty much over. Ask Prince, and I'm sure he'd say it was a profitable project. Next. Check out The Mountains and the Sea, a Prince podcast by yours truly and my wife. More info at https://www.facebook.com/TMATSPodcast/ |

That's IT. In other words: "I'm sorry guys for stating the tour starts in July (rather than simply adding 'it's possible the tour will start..."), and continuing the yar with innuendos, cryptic ramblings and mystical cosmic b.s." Well, apology accepted. Now you know to write things more carefully in the future, otherwise you're wasting peoples time. No I'm not calling you a liar, I believe something's coming. Just beware of what you're stating. | |

Lastdecember makes a good point, none of us can assume how the kid will react this time... but, in times past heartache and personal termoil have produced some of his best stuff! He works his emotions out in song for us all to share. Most of us have ridden the wave of his personal feelings...Faithfully... since the late '70s. In this posting I will not give my opinion on "Tour or No Tour", but I will say that if Our Boy decides to hit the road to work out this problem...WE WILL ALL BE THERE! Agreed?

Tour for the next album he puts out... I don't think he has enough from this one that people except us are really interested in. And even then, some of that stuff... | |

Prince loves playing live, I'm sure there will be a tour or live dates in the future, but whether that will be this year or next year or what, who knows? It would be far more logical to start a tour with a new album now, but then Prince is rarely that logical.
I do think the divorce could halt things. If Mani wants half of Prince's earnings, it would be better for him not to go out and earn millions that she could then take away from him! Probably the same reason he was renting that expensive mansion rather than buying it outright. I wouldn't wish any harm on the guy, however from a pure music listener position, I've always felt Prince produces better work when he's pissed off, instead of lovey-dovey boring ballads we may get some angry rock songs (see Fury) and some of those old-style 'woman did me wrong' songs we know and love. | |

I think there will be. While the timing of the tour has had conflicting reports, the reports nevertheless have been that one is in the works.
BTW...I seriously doubt he is going to stop "earning money" because of the divorce. Come one, don't yall honestly think he had a prenup in place before walking down that aisle? Prince isn't stupid, he knows how to protect his money. With a prenup, it will state exactly what she gets upon a divorce. So, I don't believe the divorce plays any role whatsoever regarding a tour. Think about it, surely he knew when he was preparing 3121 for its release that the marriage was over and that a divorce was possible. They haven't been seen together in ages, and reports have been for sometime now that they have been split up for over a year. He didn't let that stop him from going forward with the album. (which we know he could have and would have pulled at the last minute if he felt the need to do so). | |

(which we know he could have and would have pulled at the last minute if he felt the need to do so). Well, it's a fair point. I do think if you get really good lawyers on the case they could get you out of any pre-nup agreement, or at least demand more - there's always loopholes. But I'm not sure anyway whether anything he earns after the divorce is filed is off-limits... But there's also the psychological aspect to it putting him off touring. Okay, sure he toured after his baby died, but he never played that many songs from Emancipation then or since, like it was a reminder of that time maybe. Now it's a case of, he can't play any songs that remind him of Mayte, Mani or have cursing in them! He's running out of songs for a decent set-list, no wonder he's doing a lot of covers! | |
