Well played. This way he can get out of his contract with Warner Bros and free the music finally.

I'd like a website, so he can download music direct into his fans computers.

Maybe for a one-off, live long subscription fee.

Finally!! I've been waiting ages for the 3rdeye web site to start selling candles. Bring it on.

Two multiple disc albums released on Tuesday: One that pairs Plectrum Electrum with a new Prince disc. The second will be a triple Purple Rain reissue. Disc one will be original album remastered, disc two will be rarities, disc three will be the entire uncut First Ave show from 8/03/83.

Then a tour where he will play three hour long sets each night. First set with 3rdEyeGirl, second set with expanded New Power Generation with all the horns and singers.., third set with the Revolution!

That would be like hitting the Prince Lotto! Only problem is we will need to break the bank to get on this boat (LOL). Love the Tour concept that could work but again as is often the case in life may be 2 good 2 be true. If the announcement resembles anything near this suggestion it would indeed be worth the GMA Mega hype slated 4 Monday.

Nice Post!

He's doing a tour and is "playing the hits for the very last time". Just like in 2004.

I think he is just going to promote the mugs on his website and possibly reduce the shipping charges a bit from $15 to $12.

Prediction: He will announce a major fall north American Tour, and tickets will likely go on sale very shortly afterward, probably a day or two later.

I can't imagine the "Mega" announcement will revolve around a new cd, because no one cares. And I don't just mean about a new Prince cd, I mean cd's on general. With Spotify, which has all new cd's streaming every Tuesday, even digital cd sales are falling. And Spotify is just one service in an ever growing streaming/cloud world.

A cd may be mentioned, but if there's any news or excitement to be created, it's all about a new tour.

If he does announce a tour it needs to be in the U.S., Dallas specifically.

Amen 2 that!!

Agreed. US Tour to promote the Purple Rain 30th Aniv release. Similar show to what the UK just got!!

And I am excited too.

I expect something "big".


I live in Denmark; Europe.

I wonder what time will 'Good Morning America' be shown in the US.

Local US-time at 6:00 or maybe around at 8:00 o'clock....?

and that's somewhere in Europe around noon at 12:00 or maybe 14:00 o'clock..?

cant wait to watch have my dvr set

That means he will be in New York I guess. Maybe a surprise show for us NYC orgers!

we about to get 3rdeyegirl plates

I can't believe y'all abuzz about a tour.

Vault tracks is where it's at.

The concerts are Prince Lite.

It has to be something worth him going on GMA, and them advertising it as a "mega announcemnt" So I'm guessing it's going to be a few different things.

One, obviously PE will be mentioned in some way.We know prince has been talking a lot about finding a way to release the music where the quality is top notch, so it could possibly have something to do with the format which the music would be released (pure speculation) On top of a possible tour announcemnt (I can't really see all these projects happening and P not touring to support them) and then of coarse the Purple Rain Anniversary release.

Vault tracks?

-----> yes...... please..

But a "Prince & The Revolution" re-union world tour would not be "Prince lite" imo...

We all know the great things we want...a tour, remasters, new album.

I'm just hoping he doesn't announce a Welcome 2 Oakland tour, or announce a 2016 listening party for Plectrum.

Of course, if the tour is with the Revolution, with say, Eric Leeds and Atlanta Bliss thrown in there, that would most certainly qualify as "Mega" in my opinion, and they would be all but guaranteed to sell out multiple nights in arenas in each city.

And I realize he can still do that now in the biggest markets, but a Revolution tour would be a box office blowout, I think.

I'm guessing a US tour. I have no other idea about what could be so "major".
