Now we know why that Bastille Day thing didn't pan out. lol

And why the Chicago ticket prices are so high. neutral

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

As usual, the guy's main concern is money. But ONLY TO RECEIVE IT.

He always 'forgets' to fulfill his monetary obligations...

I know, I know: he was too busy threatening fan websites and couldn't find the time to do it...

Dayum!

Maybe this would be a good time to move to Lavaux. He could open up an account in the Swiss bank where Mitt Romney keeps his money.

Again?! What is wrong with Prince? nuts Pay the damn taxes and move on! Wasn't there a recent article about how much he is worth ($250 million)? There's just no excuse for him not to pay his taxes.

Rock Star Prince Failed to Comply With IRS Summons Over Taxes, U.S. Says

| Print |
September 18, 2012
(Bloomberg News) The Internal Revenue Service said Prince Rogers Nelson, known as the recording artist Prince, failed to comply with a summons issued on behalf of French tax authorities.

The IRS asked the pop singer to appear in response to a request from its French counterpart “to examine the French income tax liability of Mr. Prince Rogers Nelson for tax years 2009 and 2010,” according to the documents filed yesterday in federal court in Minneapolis.

Nelson hasn’t responded, the IRS said. The petition asks the court to enforce the summons. A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Oct. 18 before U.S. District Judge David S. Doty.

The French government lodged its request in July 2011 in a letter listing several concerts it believed Prince had played in France during the two years at question and asking for additional documentation about the relationship between the artist and the production and recording company Paisley Park Enterprises.

Peter Gleekel, an attorney who has represented Prince, didn’t immediately respond to a phone call seeking comment on the summons. A second attorney, Traci Bransford, couldn’t be reached because her phone was disconnected.

Dan Applegate, an IRS lawyer, declined to comment.

The case is U.S.A. v. Nelson, 12-mc-00071, U.S. District Court, District of Minnesota (Minneapolis).

A couple observations:

1. The one thing you NEVER do is blow off the IRS. Even if they have no case, you never tell them to bugger off.

2. Also, hire a lawyer that can afford to pay her phone bill.

But why is the IRS here getting involved? Regardless of where the man lives, this money is not "american" currency even, regardless of where he lives, and how is it "concerts they believe he played" arent they sure if he played them or not, shit if your gonna sue, get the charges correct

These troubles happen when celebrities' accountants and or managers drop the ball. Not a reflection on Prince. Like the other matters, once he finds out about it it will get handled. His business is his business. I want a new album!

This is a bunch of BS. You don't know what you're talking about.

That excuse might have worked the first or 2nd time this shit has happened. Not anymore.

Prince has sung, at length, about his disapproval of the tax system and now you wanna say it's not his fault he didn't pay them? Are you insane?

Prince did an interview with a woman at Record World. They talked about whatever, then he asked her: "Does your pubic hair go up to your navel?" At that moment, we thought maybe we shouldn't encourage him to do interviews.
