Since there is already a thread about a need for "alleged" hip surgery, could it be his interest has waned on the project because physically he is just not up to the wear and tear of it all? Can you imagine when the passion of his music washes over him on stage and he can't move like he wants? I see him doing his best to manage it but it has to be frustrating. All that said he does bore easily too when things do not go his way.

The album is now #72 on the billboard album chart... Is Prince bored of the project already?..... If he released "dance 4 me" or "$" then the album could hang on... A tour would help as well. It's frustrating being prince fan... Has he given up this whole thing? neutral

This is a 51 year old man with painful hips, a medical problem. He has the luxury after all of these years in the music business to do what he wants, when he wants.Touring is very taxing on the body and mind. Let's call it semi-retired. He has earned it.
I get it. I am close to his age and I have had 2 knee operations. I have to travel in my work. I wish I could do what I want when I want, but I live in the real everyday working world.

Totally agree. There's a bass player over seas, I forget his name, but he does these medleys of NPGMC songs, and they sound GREAT live. He does "Silicon", "Props and Pounds", "Northside", "Bamboozled" "Hypnoparadise" and other songs. He rocks the SHIT outta them. He's got some ridiculously awesome six or seven string bass, and his band is tighter than Prince's asshole in winter. If THAT guy can make Prince's NPGMC shit sound THAT good (and I'm a big naysayer of most of that material), then Prince sure can. That white boy needs to play w/ Prince for a few years. Prince might rediscover his love of the bass in his music.
He rocks! (and he's pretty damned hot too!)

Edit: I found the video. His name is Dom Horus, I think. Here is his NPG Party Medley.

PRINCE 1985 = TOP OF GAME

PRINCE 2009 = DONE

PRINCE COULD RELEASE PURPLE RAIN TODAY AND IT WOULD PROBABLY BE A FLOP.

He's simply ruined his market with his own personal beliefs.

I think the set has a few more singles on it but unfortunately without a bit of momentum the time will soon be passing. I would have thought a second single would have been lifted by now (especially as the clip for Chocolate Box had TBC at the end).

Time will tell, trying to stay open.

I think that he's happy with the progress of the release so far. It's sold quite a few copies (must be platinum already). Also, he's had the few Leno shows, making other appearances here and there. What's crazy is that he's probably already meditating on his next project.

I wish some of you would stop smoking crack. CDs are not selling in large volumes for anyone right now. For an older artist to have a cd out that is independent with little promotion and only available at one store P is doing well. No one that is 51 years old is going to be on top of the charts and if you work independently, you have no chance at mainstream radio airplay. None, nada in plain English it is not going to happen.

I also think as several others have mentioned that P might be either semi-retired or dealing with health issues. Whatever the case since he decided not to promote the CD he must be okay with the sales results.

so after reading this thread i have come to understand that prince has some hip trouble and is going back to MPLS to record a 3 record jazz set with Anita Baker


LOL!


my answer to this question is simple

'because he does not want to and he does not have to'
