Prince Fired Band? Why has this not been discussed???

Why has this not been discussed? This was posted in November of this past year and was placed in the Concerts Forum...and not even discussed. (see link below) All of the talk of playing in Paris/Miami...or wherever...has not materialized due to this fact. And the source, TollyC, has direct access with soucres in the DIRECT know as to Prince's "no-show", or more accurately BREACH of CONtract, at the Oracle Open World event that was to take place.

No disrespect intended here...but if someone like jseven had posted this everyone would have been salivating and the thread would have had hundreds of replies versus the five that are currently attached to this thread. I am merely saying that THIS is NEWS worthy...especially during a time where there is little to no Prince news making the rounds...making this information the genesis of this "quiet" period. So as Prince studies the bible and takes some time off...we can be sure to see/hear something from him perhaps in as little as six months, or less...or perhaps a year.

Fair enough...but if the PR person from Oracle who is in contact with Prince's AEG people is not good enough...then so be it. Peace

No issues whatsoever, nor fighting. Just curious as to why something that is potentially big news was not discussed. It is not about a thread not being responded to, which would have made more sense for me to post in November. I spoke with my good friend yesterday and we discussed a recent discussion, as in last week, that he had with that same PR person about Prince bailing. Go ahead and lock the thread...more performances with other bands other than his own will continue and he will have a "new" band at a later date after his hiatus.

I started a thread in GD asking if: "anyone ever used espazote (a Mexican herb) when cooking?" NOT A SINGLE RESPONSE! I was disappointed, to say the least, that there weren't more/any culinary experts on the site.
I took it as a "no".
lol

If it's true, whoever he hires next, needs to take a look at their predecessors.
Maybe it's the type of contract, that's agreed to, when musicians are hired?

[First off - it's probably not been discussed because he's done it so often, it's hardly news. Secondly - let us not post rumors that may affect how people view him or others without posting a link to your source. Thank u. lock - June7]
