Hungry?
I don't fancy a bite of any Irishman at all. Wolfy always claims to know prince tours beforehand. So If a tour will start, sure there will be a thread from him telling us he already told us.

Question:

What is Prince doing on sunday during the day, AFTER the aftershows?
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

I think he's going to have a lie-in, enjoy a nice kipper breakfast, take a trip to the Suchard chocolate factory, buy some Swiss cheese with the holes in, get a new cowbell for recording embellishments, buy a swiss army knife with toothpick feature, then catch his flight home.

I don't think that's strictly true, that was not my experience at any rate and loads of people took photos with their mobile phones at the 21 Nights concerts. I even saw one guy 2 rows back from me film the whole concert on a handheld camcorder! The Indigo aftershows were a bit more strict and I think security definitely made a bee-line for anyone holding up cameras and camera-phones, probably even confiscated a few.

I'm not saying that all were handed over. But i am pretty sure that the second show i attended there was mentioning of phones with cameras not being allowed. In the O2 it was easy for them to shine sith torches on to people with camera's. they where really thight in there.

An article (in French) about the Montreux concerts:

"Comment faire venir Prince à Montreux"
http://letemps.ch/Facet/p... _Montreux

They talk about how the deal was done.

ONTREUX JAZZ FESTIVAL
L'événement Prince, c'est samedi

Prince fera l'événement samedi en clôture du Festival de jazz de Montreux (VD).


Prince sera présent samedi au Montreux Jazz Festival. (Photo: Keystone)
Le chanteur américain se produira épaulé par quatre musiciens pour deux concerts successifs pour lesquels 400 billets supplémentaires seront mis en vente sur place le jour même .

Le matériel technique vient d'arriver à Montreux mais l'artiste va débarquer plus tard, escorté d'une quinzaine de personnes. Les organisateurs ignorent encore s'ils pourront filmer ces concerts. Cela n'avait pas été le cas pour celui de 2007 qui avait galvanisé plus de 4000 personnes.

Claude Nobs négocie la venue de la star depuis début avril. «Il avait demandé dans un premier temps s'il pouvait faire trois concerts d'affilée, avec trois orchestres, dans trois salles différentes... Depuis nous avons échangé des dizaines de mails avec son manager», explique le directeur de la manifestation.

Il semble que les deux concerts seront identiques, a indiqué à l'ATS Mathieu Jaton, secrétaire général. L'artiste étant connu pour son caractère imprévisible, des surprises restent possibles. «Il a conçu cette soirée pour Montreux et à ma connaissance, il n'est pas prévu qu'il se produise ailleurs en Europe prochainement», indique M. Jaton.

Coup médiatique

En convainquant la star, le festival réussit un retentissant coup médiatique. Au prix des billets, on imagine sans peine le coût très élevé d'un tel événement. Dans son édition de jeudi «Le Temps» évalue à 1,5 million de francs le coût du cachet et des frais annexes.

Les 8000 personnes attendues ont déboursé 195 francs (debout) ou 480 francs (assis). Sur internet, une place debout est proposée de 195 à plus de 500 francs. «Chacun paiera son billet. Même les sponsors!», souligne Mathieu Jaton. Les concerts sont programmés à 19h00 puis dès 22h00. Pour canaliser au mieux la foule, la structure d'accès à la salle sera modifiée.

En attendant, les fans découvrent depuis mercredi un avant-goût du style musical de la soirée avec une chanson enregistrée récemment par Prince avec les musiciens qui l'accompagneront sur scène à Montreux. «In A Large Room With No Light» mêle soul, jazz et funk. Elle est en écoute sur le site du festival.

Musicien surdoué

Icône du showbusiness américain des années 80, Prince a souvent été présenté à l'époque comme le rival de Michael Jackson. Il déclina le projet d'un duo envisagé avec lui pour la chanson «Bad» que le roi autoproclamé de la pop a fait paraître en 1987.

Musicien surdoué et autodidacte, Prince a vu le jour à Minneapolis le 7 juin 1958. De son vrai nom Prince Rogers Nelson, il monte son premier groupe en 1973 et enregistre cinq ans plus tard son premier album: «For You».

Artiste perfectionniste

Il a publié une quarantaine d'albums sous son nom ou divers pseudonymes. Capable de jouer d'une vingtaine d'instruments, Prince est considéré comme l'un des talents les plus novateurs des années 80. Il passe pour avoir vendu près de 100 millions d'albums. Lauréat de plusieurs prix, il a reçu un Oscar en 1985 pour la chanson du film «Purple Rain».

Artiste perfectionniste, il exerce un contrôle total sur son art. Ce qui a produit des conflits avec sa maison de disques. Depuis une quinzaine d'années, il produit ses albums de façon indépendante. Pour les diffuser, il exploite les possiblités d'Internet ou du réseau commercial habituel.
