When did Prince stop doing splits?

I know this is a crazy question to ask and I'll Probally get ripped about it, but what the hell. Around what year or stage in his career did Prince stop doing his signature splits during a performance or stop performing without a shirt?

Okay, I don't know how true this is, but a friend of mine--and fellow P Fam--told me that Prince stopped doing splits because of a hip injury or something that had to do with him wearing his high heels. I don't know if this is accurate or not, but the way I was told it, it seemed pretty convincing.


On another note, does James Brown still split? eek

That funny because i heard from a DJ in Minnieapolis that works with him from time to time who is a friend of mine say that he had a hip replacement operation
because of high heels and years of wearing them has did damage, maybe prince should just settle for a pair of Rockports biggrin

Prince stopped doing the splits when he finally accepted that he would never make the Lakers cheerleader try-outs neutral

If I remember correctly, on the Rave concert video he did the splits on this weird octopus looking carpet in the middle of the stage and afterwards says "I just wanted to see if it worked" obviously referring to its function to soften the impact of him doing the splits on it.
Anyone else remember?

This is the second time you've backed me up, sexxydancer. Separated at birth, maybe? Or just the person I gotta wait to move out of the PR- section of the cd bins so I can zone in. Either way, I hope you're having a slammin' holiday season!-

Prince has enormous balls, and as he ages, the impact of them slapping the floor starts to take it's tole. If not for his enormous balls, he'd be doing splits all the time still. shrug
