How much is it to book Prince to perform at a private gig?

Or do a guest appearance.

How does one go about booking him..can't see the brother advertising in craig's list somehow..

I assume if the price is right he'd do sweet 16's n bar mitza's n shit? right? neutral

The last time I booked him he asked for 2m. I insisted on only rarities be played and no hits so he cancelled. biggrin

Yeah 2 million apparenlty, artists like Prince price themselves out of that sort of market although he has been known to do some in the past.

I'll pay the $2 million to book him, but only if the Org mods agree to delete any and all threads mentioning the performance.

Even if we call him prince and, use poor punctuation whilst, FAWNING blindly over, his GREATNESS and writing, in PurPLe?

WE should start a thread to book him for the .org

I would go 500$ easy, probably more

I bet He would come down if we got close to 1M and it was obvious that it was fanclub.

He could set the instruments up onstage and we could draw lots to call out a song 4 him to play.

we could call it "stump the genius."

At least 1.5 million (USD I guess).

In the mean time it might have become more.

I guess we must email Kiran Sharma to have an actual quote.

Provide her with some context (fanclub, no hits, etc).

And ask for two hours or more.

I reckon even if we did have the money to put forward for it, I doubt he would ever go for it, Prince's fans are his biggest critics, he'd know he wouldn't be able to get away with just going out and playing 9 hits in a row and a sampler set lol

No other singers taking lead. We don't need a half hour put your hands up medley.

God knows, just suddenly happened didnt it, strange, maybe he's happy with just dealing with Trevor Guy these days.

Was it after the 21 nights O2 that he got rid of her the first time?


To be fair, things wasnt handled the best way last year, but we did know a little more with her.

And she must have played a big part in him getting back with WB, possibly wasnt happy with somethings that were agreed?

Who knows? lol

No cameras is OK. The audio is what counts.

No hits is more important.

Seconds show is no problem just as long he plays the agreed upon time.

Start on time is also relative but no more than 60 minutes after agreed time.
The rest is OK.

She was with him for the Hit and Runs which were before that was even announced (April). Deals like that are not done over night, it was probabaly in negotiation 6-12 months before, it was essentially a multi-million pound deal which basically meant WB lost all rights on Music that they could Legally still own for years to come.

I'm not disregarding the negotiations part. But she still worked with him from time to time. But wasn't managing him. The negotiations of the WBR deal had nothing to do with her. It was a TOP secret between only prince & WbR.
