Did anyone hear the Jonathan Ross show on Radio 2 on Saturday morning??? He played Little Red Corvette then said Prince was due to be touring in the UK later this year. I've been waiting for confirmation of this over the weekend but heard nothing! Was he just confused and got it wrong, or has he leaked something here???

Could it have been a sly dig at the fact that Prince is probably gonna be touring due to the money issues he currently has?

You never know though, mabe Wossy know's something we don't..?

ideal scenario?

june i believe is about the time that jonathan ross ends his bbc contract, and knowing how he kinda thinks he's the british jay leno/letterman, how about getting P on one of his last shows? how about a one hour special on bbc 1 tv with P, like he did with Madge and Barbra Streisand, with a little chat, a little live per4mance, and then an anouncement at the end of another 21 nights ?

shame it probably won't happen
[Edited 3/29/10 2:18am]

He said after the song that Prince was due to be touring, the co-presenter guy then said he's getting a bit old now, but then JR said something like touring is in Prince's blood and he hopes it's as good as the 21 nights tour.
Scoured google and can't find anything on this though! Did anyone else hear it?

Depends if he's allowed to play here if he hasn't paid his debts. And if he has, his next 21 nights might look more like this:



I love that sketch

Revolution9 said:

It'll be on BBC iplayer. I'd offer to listen myself, but can't do with Ross.

i seem 2 recall a thick glasgow accent, which added 2 the surreal nature of it !!

wasn't there a sketch/bit where P is in the recording studio adding a 27 minute guitar solo to a track, or something ?

alexandernevermind1999 said:

I can't remember that bit, it might have been on another one that I haven't seen. Yeah the Rab C Nesbit accent just makes it all the stranger. The 'interview' itself does actually come across as though they know what they're on about. I don't think they're uber fans, but they know their stuff!

Little Red Corvette was played early in the show and he made the comment after it

It was around the 19'30" mark

Jonathan Ross simply says "He's doing some touring, I think I read" - but no source.

New style for Prince:the opposite of the Palais Garnier

j/ ross said hes touring this summer

Well I went 2 visit a friend 2day who works on security at all the big venues and he told me that his boss called him last night and asked him if he would do the Prince gigs at the O2 in the summa!!!!! No dates yet and it is only word of mouth. I trust the guy but as Uall dont know me, or him come to that, Icould just be a nasty litle liar! Seriously guys from my deep heart Thats wot my man said.
Peace and B Wild, and lookin 4ward 2 a Purple Summa in th U.K. With Da Man.xx

one things 4 sure, i won't b joining the O2 pre'sale ticket bonanza, or the 'gold seat' ticket offers !

the VERY best seats i had during the tour, i got on the morning of the shows, (albeit by being on constant 'ticketmaster watch')

bring it on,

"ohhhh funky london" !

peter kaye's tour was called the, 'mum wants a bungalow tour', do u think P's would b something like ...

' 21 writs to pay, in london ' ?

You are freaking amazing. Thanks.

if it ain't on lotusflow3r.com I don't believe it.

Well me Luvvies I am ready 2 go! Planning the rags 2 wear 4 the various shows that I shall undoubtably b attending, All family and friends have been alerted that I shall b non comp. throughout the madness and also that any contributions to the Vanstrass charity box r greatly appreciated [much moocho needed 4 travel tkts.hotels, tents to camp on pavements! etc. Yoall no the score]Anyway my take on it all is even if he doesnt cum, I am just loving the excitement and the buzz of the whole crazy ting and the hope keeps me dancin even harder. I have been willing Sir Nelson to CUM 2 ENGLAND!! WITH EVERY PART OF MY MIND, SOUL, BODY and pinky toenails across the Universe I been sending out those vibes. Its been 2 long Prince. I always live in Princeworld as most of us do but when I get the buzz that somethin might just be happenin, I climb aboard my Purple Starship and warp to Princeuniverse lovin the expectation of things to cum.
Anyway I will C my security guy on Sat. so I will keep U postd.

Much Love 2Uallxxxxx

Yeh M8 WE WILL ALL DIG AROUND. DIG?

vanstrass said:

I dug...on the internet...came back with a shovel full of nothing.

Checked out 02, loads of free dates in August?????

In a Tweet to me asking to share what he knew, Ross replies "nothing.but happy to share that."

vanstrass said:

I just have hope that your job (if you have one) doesn't require any responsibility...

*tries not to hyper ventilate*

God I hope this is true.

Shit, I'm gonna have to do alot of saving up and have quite a few 'business trips' lined up for London now!

WOOHOOOO!!!!

Interesting.

mmmm interesting

l belive it when l see it or hear it.... but l can always find out from a friend at work who used to be one of prince bodyguard...but his best friend is still doing (bodyguard) he will find out from him if theres any rumours or news of prince touring london ???

No plans at this point in time

Dudes! I'm back after catching up with my Security Blokey, He has been away workin and I saw him last night. Not alot 2 report apart from this little scrap of info. if U can call it that. Blokeys Boss man has said that Prince is booked in 4 3 dates at the O2 in August!!!!! STOP!!!!! B4 U go sell your Granny the plot weakens. There is also some other Dude booked in at the same on the same dates and Prince's gigs are a pencil in suck it and see situation 2 b confirmed next week?? That is it word 4 word from my man.Hmmmmm?

Vanstrass Speculation Only.....If these 3 gig dates do exsist, then my thought is that surely Prince would not cum 2 the U.K. with all of the organisation,staff,rig etc. and all that it entails just 4 3 dates. So the plan must b 2 do sum regional dooooo's. Just a thought? makes sense.
Oh well time will tell. Love 2 uallxxxxx
