that didn't exactly work out in Oakland last week, did it.

I'm sure the idea was well intended - but it's possible he isn't able to travel.

Oh come on now. Prince was just being nice. If Bobby Z really made it out there and tried to join Prince on stage, Prince's bodyguards would have threw him to the ground and caused another heart attack!

i am confused, what exactly happened?

Needed to rest more.

Hopefully he can join him on one of the other shows, slim but would be nice.

Just providing you with a base for over the top comments. Ohhh Kay?

No way could Bobby Z perform only 2 weeks after his heart attack.

Prince's gesture was sweet, and a gentle challenge to Bobby Z to

get well soon and join him on stage.

^^ And wasnt he supposed to be needing a couple of operations

that had to wait until he was strong enough to undergo more surgery?

Prince is saying when Bobby Z is recovered he's going to have him join to play while on the West coast. Prince wasn't expecting him to be in Oakland last week.

I can't believe anyone was expecting him to jump on stage at the show - I know Prince is a taskmaster, but.....

seriously, there's some strange expecations on this site!, you're right even P ain't that hard!

As has already been said I thought it was pretty clear Prince was extending an invite for a future appearance on one of his W2A tour dates - who knows how long a stretch the tour will be.

Does Bobby Z live in the Bay Area? It was never said by anyone that Prince wanted him to play in Oakland last week--just that he hoped Bobby could play on the song "soon."

It's all apart of the initiation. First Bobby Z must prove he can make it to the stage on time and perform

right after a heart attack. Then he must purify himself in the waters of Lake Minnetonka.

No Bobby is in the Twin Cities area

Right Prince never said he expected Bobby 2 be able to Play in the Sunshine of Oakland

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.”
