There's a type of very thick blackout foil used on film productions, and in studios. Could be that's what he was thinking, not some Reynolds Wrap.

It must be hard walking up or down a flight of stairs with high heels on,all the time! When Prince isn't onstage,he should wear a pair of Reeboks or Nikes lol I know he's sensitive about his height,but come on....his health is more important.

I hate to break up yalls purple party, but its the Sun were talking bout here. lol
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.

A friend of ours worked as a concierge at a Holiday Inn in Fresno, CA. Prince was in town for a show and she met up with him in the elevator. She asked if he needed anything and he requested that they cover up the window's in his room with foil. They did as he requested.

Yeah, he probably had a good laugh at the Chef-Foil on his windows at the Holiday Inn. Night owls gotta sleep somehow...

The UK tabloids are mental. Back in '88 there was a piece about how 'Prince gets a buzz out of bees', saying his bodyguard was driving him to a cemetery where Prince would cover himself in bees. It included a picture of this 'bodyguard' who was some old codger with a flat cap on. Kind of hilarious, looking back - I wish I could find it, for if I do I'll be posting it for you all to have a good laugh.

Yep, I think this is complete bollocks coming from the Sun. We've seen his rider for venues and it's very tame. Water, tea, cereal and incense candles iirc. He climbed on the speakers at The Roundhouse, I believe, and overall he just seemed so light on his feet when I seen him in Manchester.

Plus, the way he goes into that low crouch at 6:00. I find that hard to do, and I'm 19 lol

Face Down! Dead like Elvis!! eek

More seriously and to the point, this really reminds me of Elvis insisting that tin foil be put up on the windows of his rooms when he was in hospital in Memphis in the '70s. He was a notorious insomniac, maybe Prince is too, and feels he needs to sleep in the day when on tour.

In fact, fans were often tipped off by the foil on the windows that Elvis was in hospital in Memphis.

If I were him I would rock some tennis shoes regularly when I was in rehearsal or backstage. We all know he is short so it doesnt really matter. It wouldnt matter to me but again hes Prince. I know wearing heels up the stairs is hard on the knees though....he's gonna fool around and break something.

Yeah because doesnt he sleep into the afternoon? I guess to block sunlight and stalkers. I doubt the hotel woukd have film foil but I know they stack up on Chef Foil for the food.

I think Prince´s demands look pretty tame compared to the often outrageous and silly lists of other stars. Even during the heyday of Purple Rain his tour rider didn´t include anything special, and his tour rider during the Musicology tour looked very humble for an artist of his calibre.

Then again, I have only seen two or three tour riders and I know this is not really about tour riders but hotels, but still.

-

He´s Prince...he deserves it. lol

I agree, this is super tame compared to the weird stuff you can read on smokinggun.com's tour rider section. In fact, they make fun of him because in past tour contracts he wanted a doctor to give him a B12 shot. Not that outrageous!

I also think it says a lot about Prince that after 30 years in the business the most bizarre thing they can report about him is that he doesn't want to walk up some dark stairwell or that he doesn't want to see the crappy art on the wall.

The guy doesn't throw TV's out the hotel window, get high and make a spectacle of himself, offer kids Jesus Juice, molest groupies with fish, or demand brown m&ms be removed.

I imagine Prince just showers, shaves and shits in the room, and is busy the rest of the time he's staying somewhere.

Work 3rd shift for a week and you'll have whatever you can get on your windows to keep your room dark! I had foil on my windows when I was in school and working 3rds and didn't give a damn who thought I was crazy. lol Sleep was more important than a pretty window. thumbs up!

Everybody stop on the 1...GOOD GOD! Uhh!
