Prince should be used to not paying his bandmembers. | |

Wouldn't it be pretty obvious if he had canceled some work visas? It's not like the current band is especially big.
And how the hell can he fire LiveNation? What's he going to do, tour college gyms? | |

The Live Nation part must be true because they have taken down Prince as one of their featured acts. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Prince can still tour without Live Nation...he has done it before. I am sure everyone will get paid. He dances to his own tune. That's why we love him! Love God and I shall 4ever Love u | |

I guess the question is, can he book The Forum without them? | |

Yeah, I'm gonna wait it out too and see what more NEWS comes instead of speculating on how P doesn't pay his band and all this other negativity that's surfacing.
Let's wait and see what comes about fam ... Peace ... & Stay Funky ...

Exactly, unless there's some clause in the contract letting him opt out ? Maybe I answered my own question. | |

Just saw this on Doc F's facebook page:
"Not sure why there are no listings yet for this weekend's Prince show's on ticketmaster. The Live Nation parting was weeks ago....it being known to the public today is...very interesting......more info as it becomes available...."
When someone replied saying that they'd heard LN were going to cut concerts because they weren't selling out, he replied:
"Wrong rumor. It happened 2 weeks ago. Whatever they were going to cut would have happened then. This is something else...but when you do not have a Live Nation, it's hard to do on your own. Waiting for facts......"

Translation: Prince is pissed off that his shows ain't selling out, blames LN and fires them.
Funny how it is never his fault. His album flops? The record company's fault. His concert series flops? The promoter's fault. © Bart Van Hemelen

Concert series flop????!!!!!!!!! What the fuck are you talking about? | |

$10 and $25 seats are a good sign that something's not right.

Looks like Dr. Funkenberry will have more info today. He just posted this on his Facebook page:
DR. FUNKENBERRY'S CELEBRITY NEWS FAN PAGE Wrong rumor. It happened 2 weeks ago. Whatever they were going to cut would have happened then. This is something else...but when you do not have a Live Nation, it's hard to do on your own. Waiting for facts......
So it looks like Live Nation was fired 2 weeks ago. [Edited 5/10/11 9:05am] **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Be Honest, it's not the selling out succes they wanted it to be. Have a look at 'The W2A: Euro Tour Song Survey' http://prince.org/msg/12/362417 | |

Read the article I posted above, and this one: http://www.google.com/hos...f2efa85384 too.
Marking down prices is and across the board marketing move by Live Nation, not a Prince-specific situation. | |
