prince twitter feed and disappearing tweets

I'm not a regular twitter user so may have just misunderstood the mechanics of it all, but quite regularly I see tweets from Prince (such as the Miles Davis concert one from yesterday) that then disappear from his feed.

Why is this? Why post and then delete?

I don't know.

I screencaptured this one when he first started.

Yeah, I've noticed a lot of disappearing tweets, usually within the same day or even the same hour of them appearing. I retweeted one the other day which was deleted, though I still have the retweet.

He's probably drunk tweeting. lol

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

I assumed that was fake. That was really tweeted?

I just need for him to delete that one tweet about "twerking mermaids" Never in a million years did I think that my 55 YEAR OLD hero would tweet about how mermaids actually twerk to get around underwater!
REALLY PRINCE? NO. That was shameful. Im sorry. I have to grow up in this Twerking Generation *cringes* P's twitter was one of the few places i thought i could avoid it!

So yeah whens Plectrum Electrum's release date? Anyone?

50 cds would set some kind of record, if not a sales record then an artistic output career record. He should do it! That would be the musical Mount Everest every artist in the future would have to measure up to.

Yeah that was cringeworthy. Though, it's really made me question whether the account is actually being run by him.

Technically, he's got until the winter solstice (December 21st) to fulfill that Tweet. giggle

I don't believe for a second that Prince does the tweets. Maybe the initial ones that caused a stir but since then the stuff is so publicity focused, it's not him. Hence tweets get deleted that he doesn't approve of.

Wouldn't someone get in trouble for posting a Tweet like that as a joke? cool
