as I'm listening 2 P on the radio 2day in Chgo - Doug Banks show - they start reminiSING abt P back in the day. Doug's sidekick, DeeDee says she remembers a benefit of some kind where Ronald McDonald was there. All of a sudden there was chaos & disorder & they had 2 rush Ronald away from the stage. Apparently P would not take the stage or per4m as long as Ronald was there. Any1 ever hear that P is afraid of clowns? I've been amazed over time 2 learn how many folx r. no criticism or tease - just interesting.

The morning after the Musicology show in New Orleanz,it was reported in the newzpaper that the show was delayed until Ronald McDonald left the building.McDonald'z was a sponsor of Essence Festival,which Prince was a part of in '04. I don't blame him-clownz creep me out 2.

Clowns scare the shit out of me...especially all those creepy dolls in Purple Rain.
I'da slid right back out of that window if I was Apples and saw all that creepy shit.

I don't know...If it has something to do with a possible picture being taken...Maybe it would lead to a misunderstood, advertising stunt.

Wasn't McDonalds rude to Prince back in the day in Minneapolis?

I think that has more to do with Prince being a vegan and not wanting it to appear that he was endorsing McDonalds in any way.

omg!! I am afraid of clowns.

Ive never heard that before!i thought it was just kids who were afraid of clowns, i expect the macdonalds thing was to do with no advertising etc, the only brand i know prince nearly endorsed was pepsi never heard of any others.

i seriously doubt hes afraid of clowns

It's been going around for more than 10 years about a different celebrities, probably started by some kids. Mature people pay it no attention, trust me.

Clowns are just damn freaky. I've always hated them. Some people are indifferent to them, but I always believed even kids who loved them were evil.

If this ain't creepy, I don't klnow what is!

i love this bit! its funny.

At one point, that was his only friend in the movie.

i wouldn't blame him if he was.

i find clowns really freaky. my kids don't like them either.

There are lots of people who are afraid of clowns. DO u remeber Stephen Kings IT. That was a creepy story.

that does make sense .. him being afraid of clowns sounds funny

prince once said in an interview that he is "not afraid of anything.."

Dave1992 said:

zucris said:

What the hell...who the hell...

that ain't Prince...right?!

Dayclear said:

All you need is me.

KidaDynamite said:

Oh yes he does....

TRUTH69 said:

Plus if you're a cool rock star, you definitely don't want any reports (not to mention photos) of you and Ronald McDonald occupying the same space and time!
Talk about losing street cred...

Now look at that cute clown!
