Is P saving his voice by having an extended band/ back up spotlight singers?

Lots of complaints recently re Shelby etc sharing the stage , longer jam sessions etc. Does anyone ever stop to wonder that he does this purely because his voice strains so much after 30+ years of constant touring / recording. We all know how much that voice gets used..he must record every other day..it MUST have an effect on his vocal chords.

So, lets cut the dude some slack & think for a minute!

One thing's for sure, if I did sung/recorded for 30 years (not stop) I wouldn't have any vocal chords left...

Purple Music is my drug and I'm jonesin!!!!!

That's a very likely reason for it.

I agree...we hear less Prince the more stage-time the girls get to sing... sad

Yes, it's an tried and tested trick of the trade. He's not far off his bus pass, so it's fair enough to expect him to be slowing down.
