:New Pic From DrFunkenberry

Former PRINCE & The Revolution member Bobby Z. had a heart attack earlier this month. He has since been released and is back home. His former boss has a special treat in mind for him and fans.

PRINCE will be funking up the Oracle Arena next week in Oakland and PRINCE and company are rushing to get a new “Cali4nia” tour book ready for opening night! Tickets are selling fast, so you better hurry.

The shot above taken from the Parade era featuring PRINCE, Bobby Z., & Wendy Melvoin will be in the new version of the tour book. Also, other shots taken at PRINCE’s recording studio Paisley Park and his run of sold out shows at Madison Square Garden will be featured as well.

PRINCE & The New Power Generation wants Bobby Z. to come out soon to join the tour and play “Purple Rain” with him.

Prince had this to say exclusively to DrFunkenberry.com;

“Nobody plays drums on the song “Purple Rain” like Bobby. Never flashy or loud, he plays like a slow burn love song. Bobby’s way of playing made each live rendition of the song better than the last.”

That is a great picture. It's very cool to see him give props to Bobby Z.

Bobby Z wasn't a flashy drummer but his style was perfect for P's early sound in the 80's.

hey and since Prince plays a lot of those hits continuously, he should have a mix of drummers

Pretty cool picture and if that's a new poster 4 sale at the concerts then I'll need it!

I WANT that poster

Prince, Stop pouting you wanker.

Nice sentiment for Bobby Z though.

Hmmmm, is that just a typical prince pose - or is he suggesting something with his 'stop' hand out at Wendy???

Not that I'm one to read into things, but that is a little odd.

Typical Prince pose. Remember the one from Diamonds and Pearls where he has one hand up against the white wall behind him. He is wearing a red pantsuit with yellow on it or some shit and a long white trench.

Just a bit similar

To the people who don't think Prince's wardrobe is 'Golden Girls' inspired, how about that blouse?

I do hope he's gotten permission from Wendy and Bobby to use their likenesses in this new photo.

'Wendy?

Yes, Lisa.

Is the cease & desist letter warm enough?'

Just by the way Prince has his hand near Wendy's heart, shows that he still hold her dear in his feelings for her.

She better see a doctor if her heart is that high

Do you think Prince will ever play with Wendy and Lisa again??

I would love to see the Revolution again play the entire Purple Rain

album live on stage.

Prince probably owns the rights to the pictures.
