Hmmm...I'm wondering what the press conference will be all about. If it's about a tour in the US, woot! . That means I'll be trying my darnedest to scrape up some money so that I can see him in concert for my first time. I've been waiting for the opportunity to see Prince in action. biggrin

"2010 Deluxe" release announcement maybe?

Possibly. But seriously, he really needs to hit a few US states. It has literally been YEARS since I have seen him. sad

Dammit. I live close to Paisley Park.

Oh come on now! Has Prince ever not given Minneapolis a chance to see any tour? Official or not? cool

Playing at surprise show at First Ave. doesn't count. We missed Controversy tour, Parade, Sign O' the Times, Diamonds and Pearls, Acts I and II, almost missed the nude tour, Gold tour never came here, etc, etc...

From www.moquake.com
We're hearing rumours here at MoQuake base that Prince fans in New York should head to the Apollo Theater today (Thursday) well in time for a 6pm press conference if they want to catch what must be a big announcement.

We're sure everyone in NYC knows how to find the venue but please don't forget to report in to MoQuake later to share what you've heard and seen

I bet the the diehard NY Prince fan base are probably already over there hoping to get in or catch a glimpse of Prince. I hope someone send pics from there of the crowd arriving there.

Someone should tell Prince his surprises are not surprising and most people couldn't care less about fattening his pockets. He payed his past due bills and the man needs money. It's no mystery. He needs to make more money. Don't we all?

20Ten deluxe edition and a US tour is not HUGE news, not for prince anyway.

i wish people wouldn't hype everything into nuclear oblivion like that since it

only makes that nagging voice in the back of my mind whisper once again:

"remember his WB talks in july? he's gonna release remasters, at last yay! "

and true love lives on lollipops and crisps

Maybe it's a big 360 deal like Madonna did. That would probably a good deal of money for him, but pretty boring for fans. It's also kind of a crappy, non-independent way to do business.

He's too much of a control freak for that type of deal.

I doubt that he would hold a news conference for that.

Back Catalogue??

I read all of this thread just waiting for someone to say this.

I don't dare to hope, but man... I hope. D'oh! doh!

...and I think I am more excited to have this come to fruition then with 20TEN deluxe and/or US tour.

He said on Tavis' show that it's crazy that any artist would sign a 360 deal (paraphasing).

While anything is possible, I can't see him making that deal.

I'm thinking either a residency or full scale US tour. Does anyone even hold press conferences when they are going to release a cd?

Well it's prince we are talking about.

Years ago remember he thought it a good idea to hold a press conference to tell the world that he was changing his name from stupidsymbol back to Prince, even though no one in the world gave a shit.

well i was at that press conference and got 2 ask him a question ...HQ used 2 have the video 4 that and u could hear my question

man, he has such an amazing body of music that it's sad to see him constrict it down to the basics. he's too talented for the lineup he's doing. estelle 81

Prince To make Big Announcement In NYC As New Song Leaks

Prince At The Apollo Theatre 75th Anniversary Bash. Photo: Spellman/Killian

What a great day to be a PRINCE fan, especially if you are in New York!

It all started as a tweet yesterday from a writer of Rolling Stone Magazine

;Just heard that Prince is holding a mysterious press conference in New York tomorrow..

Then Live Nation posted on Facebook:

HUGE announcement tomorrow at 3 PM Pacific – stay tuned. (You won’t want to miss this.)
Then Moquake.com, a Prince fan web site posted about the press conference and that it is at the legendary Apollo Theatre and that fans can attend the press conference. Very cool news!!!
On top of that, the snippet of ”Rich Friends” a track to be from 20Ten deluxe, is now out in full, as posted on Prince.org early this morning.
Listen now to ”RICH FRIENDS” by Prince.
So, hopefully the fans in New York have enough time to get there and check it out!
As for what the news is, our lips are sealed…although with Live Nation mentioning it, you kind of know what it is!
Thanks to the Prince fan sites for that info. We are looking forward to what he has to say and having a new song.-Dr.FB

Ok, so the "official" tour didn't come here, but he did do those shows here. I'll take a more intimate show over an arena/stadium show anytime.
