Prince @ The Isle of Wight Festival (article mention)

This weekend the Daily Mail supplement produced an article about the guy who runs the Isle of Wight Festival (quite a good read if you're in the UK).

Anyway in it he mentions Prince wanting to perform at the festival and then simultanously broadcast via hologram the show onto multiple stages worldwide. The organiser loved the idea but said it was a logistical nightmare BUT had asked him to perform a Jimi Hendrix tribute show as "Prince is the only person who could pull it off". Jimi famously played there in 1970 and he wants him to recreate that gig, it appears Prince is thinking about it.

Its a direct quote from an interview in the magazine so I'd say it is as much as, the bloke said it.

Isn't the Daily Mail the fake magazine in the UK equivelant to the National Enquierer here?

It's not a magazine. It's a paper which serves to feed racism, xenophobia and hatred on a daily basis to a readership mostly comprising of racist morons who will believe any of the factually incorrect shite they print. If you hate Muslims and immigrants and folk with less money than you then you will love it.

Both ideas are great. I especially would love Prince to do that Jimi tribute show, with him and the band only playing Jimi's tunes!

RIP Prince: thank U 4 a funky Time...

Already been done! It's called "The Hendrix Experience"! It was a fabulous live show of all Hendrix tunes with many amazing musicians.

Have fun on the random Daily Mail headline generator!
