he did a spoof single and video called purple pain. i've got it somewhere. i presume someone can find it on youtube

he looks more like the guy/girl/thing from five star than prince in the photo though

someone will also need to post that classic kids saturday tv clip when a caller asked five star why they were so shit on live tv, as i'm sure it's on youtube too

the only thing related I know about Lenny Henry... he is the guy singing:

On the Prince / Kate Bush song "Why Should I Love You"?

From the Kate Bush album "The Red Shoes".

Maybe......... - I could be wrong??

That was some hilarious stuff back in the day! Always loved the tricked out tricycle and mini motorcycle

The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.

"Pneumonia? That's a pretty sick name."

He did a Diamonds and Pearls era song n dance P take on his show once too, haven't found it yet but it had some reference to height and wardrobes if my failing memory serves me, unless it was a rerun from 1988 in 1991

He is a huge Prince fan, he often mentions his influence. After introducing P's 1995 masked Top Of The Pops appearance of Get Wild, Lenny says "This is the best night of my life!"

He was also seen at the O2 concerts.
