Foster The People Singer KICKED OUT of Prince Comcert

'Foster the People' Singer
KICKED OUT
of Prince Concert

EXCLUSIVE
102612_foster_bouncer_launch_v2
Prince DOES NOT mess around when it comes to cell phones at his private shows ... and had the lead singer of Foster the People KICKED OUT last night when he violated the rule.

TMZ was shooting footage when Mark Foster -- the guy who sings the annoyingly overplayed "Pumped Up Kicks" song -- was escorted out of The Sayers Club when someone saw him tooling around on his iPhone.

Foster begged and pleaded with security to let him back inside -- using every tactic in the book:

-- I have a tab at the bar I didn't close!
-- I promise I wasn't taking a picture, check my phone!
-- I'm a musician, I understand ... I won't do it again.

... and of course, "I'm Mark Foster ... from Foster the People."

After a couple of minutes in limbo, security gave Mark a break and let him back inside ... but only after they MADE HIM check his phone.



On his way out of the show, Mark told us it was a big misunderstanding ... he was simply checking a text message from a friend when he was tossed.

He also said he understood why security did what they did ... telling us, "It's cool ... Prince doesn't play in front of 100 people every night."

I thought Prince had got rid of the Phalanax of bodyguards, that guy looks like hes 400lbs and ready to pulversise that little white boy into dust.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

maybe P should be begging bands like this to hang out with him so that he could get a bit of his fuckin' mojo back. Someone needs to pin P down and make him listen to the first minute of Pumped up kicks - which is better than almost everything he has done in the last 10 years.

P is a toss pot livin' off the illusion that he is still great.

Please! Who was begging to get back into who's gig? Not only could Prince get into one of their gigs(with an iPhone5 on full display) he could walk up onstage with the NPG and take it over in 10 seconds flat!

When eye go 2 a Prince concert or related event it's all heart up in the house but when eye log onto this site and the miasma of bitchiness is completely overwhelming!

If he walked in with the SOTT Band, he could take over anything he wants. If he walked into a Foster The People Show with Shelby shouting "Put Your Hands Up," he could not take over a restroom at a dirty Shell Station.

As I stated above "who was begging to get back into who's gig?" and as for your statement 'Who blew wads of cash on VIP when Shelby stormed the Carolinas?' (give ya one guess)

I never understood why Prince is such a jerk about stupid things like this. He really needs to lighten up and stop being so mean and angry at people and the world. I have to admit though its hilarious to hear about someone as ridiculous about things as Prince is. I guess he has to get attention someway

Prince never lost his...mojo? You see them folks struggling to get in. They are not old tired bloated fans. They are the current bands and youth of today trying desperately to see Prince.

People like you dont know what mojo is nor have u yourselves ever had any.

Thank you, goodnight.

Maybe he doesnt want filming because then everyone in the audience would be holding up their phones instead of enjoying the show an making him feel like a specimen in a cage.

Mean and angry at people? He isnt being Axl Rose, pointing out people to get thrown out. He had posted warnings and its the staff who check and take charge. Stop acting as if you know what is in Princes heart. You come off as a dumbfuck when you do that. Then again your screen name could be referencing your arms, hence your post, hell I dont know.

It all boils down to a very much exaggerrated idea of 'intellectual property'.

The need to be paid for something that was only given to them (a face, talent, etc).

(and ego, etc but I won't go into that)

Prince has no jurisdiction over my phone. (which is an actual phone and no smart whatever device)

Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill... If you don't believe me or don't get it, I don't have time to try to convince you, sorry.

Prince has had a "no pictures/no video" policy for over a decade now. It should be a non-issue for fans at this point. He has a policy. Security and the venue enforce it. It's not a surprise! If you think it's too much then don't attend the show or better yet don't try to take footage and just enjoy the music.

Totally. I actually thought it was a Crowded House comeback when I first heard it.

Actually Pumped Up Kicks is original sounding, nothing like a Crowded House song. Foster The People are the best new indie band around but some people don't get it, like dumb Prince fans who can't dig anything that isn't remotely funky or Prince-sounding.

The world's problems like climate change can only be solved through strategic long-term thinking, not expediency. In other words all the govts. need sacking!

If you can add value to someone's life then why not. Especially if it colors their days...

it's appaling, so pleased with it's own failed attempt to be hip and trendy it's nauseating. it's for people who think they're groovy because they own the complete collection of friends on dvd. ploddy non-music that has no heart, soul or humanity. it's the complete antithesis of indie, that piece of shite has been marketed out and used in tv montages for what seems an eternity.

if you want to listen to some good hip ethereal stuff then try polica or friends but don't settle for this wet middle of the road cack.

suffice to say i don't like it.

the main point is that in the big scheme of things my opinion and for that matter all of yours mean nothing to P. It's just a fact that IMHO his actions continue to facinate and frustrate me in equal measure - there just is never a dull moment in purple land. However I have long since stopped looking at him for musical inspiration as there's just too much good new / challenging music out there and likewise I still see other ledgends still delivering the goods i.e. Dylans last one and dare i say even Tom Jones is delivering albums of real note and worth[yes I said it!].

Prince can be amazing but for reasons that truly continue to baffle he chooses to release crap - IMHO!.

Oh, wait - I just saw that you called me 'buttmunch'! In light of that, I've just come to realize that Foster the People are probably the best band that has ever existed... and their fans are even better!

`The fans should have gotten used to that by now`?
