Telegraph AtoZ of 2007 PRINCE AT O2 "You had to be there," Graham Norton sighed in this newspaper as the singular musician's 21-night London residency at the O2 arena reached its climactic final night. The shows were wildly pleasurable confirmation of Prince's hallowed place in music, not just as a defining influence on the generation of the artists who grew up with Purple Rain and Sign o' the Times, but as a still-thrilling performer at the age of 49. "I may be small, but so is dynamite," he proclaimed during show number 14, a claim he backed up with a super-tight, two-hour set that changed every night. Could any other pop artist play 21 nights and still leave London wanting more? "you guys gotta shout louder than that!" - Prince at the back of the audience b4 going on stage at Indigo2 10 Sept 12.29am | |
