He probably just found out the Spurs and Warriors won't be resting players tonight and realized he fucked up with putting the show tonight.

During the Act I tour in 1993, he postponed 2 show in Los Angeles due to being sick. You can hear it in his voice at the DNA Lounge aftershow in San Francisco, that was just a few day prior.

The current strains of flu going around are no joke. My wife is otherwise healthy and spent 5 days in the hospital with the flu.

There wasn't really anything ambiguous about that tweet. I knew immediately he was sick.



Well in the likelihood of the planet having ills and Prince being sick many took the former option. There was no 'Eye have influenza'. But I am happy you knew immediately. Good for you.


Yeah...because the earth can get the flu. Grow up.

Didn't he cancel a show in Concord, CA. because he tripped over a monitor or something and sprang his ankle? Or did the show go on with him just sitting down while singing? Late 90's or early 2000's?

I remember a show at 'The Forum' in Inglewood being canceled in the early 2000's. I had tix and didn't find out till we got to the parking lot. First bad thing in a series on a failed double date. What was said was he had tripped on a step or monitor and sprained his ankle. Wow...I remember getting my refund at 'The Where house'...the local ticketmaster outlet in Rancho Cucamonga.

He's had some cancelations over his career for sure, but I think it's pretty rare for him to cancel a performance for health w. Coming so soon after him announcing his memoirs, I'm just hoping it's not an indication of anything serious. I'm keeping him in my heart and prayers that it is merely a passing flu. We love you Prince. Hope you feel better soon. Sending healing your way.

Weirdly when he started this whole tour this crossed my mind. I know it's just paranoia but everything seems so intimate.

I think what you might be referring to is a show I was in attendance for in Atlantic City, New Jersey around 1999. Chaka Khan opened, so the show should have have followed not long after her 1998 Come 2 My House album had dropped. I heard/read later that there was a leak of water on the stage. Chaka slipped and fell during her song. Prince slipped, did not fall, but I read shortly thereafter he had sprained his ankle. I do vaguely recall he had to cancel a number of shows after.

Yes! My city was one of them on my B-Day the next day. Of course the Dj's joked that Chaka Khan fell on him.. biggrin




....and you thought that was funny?

Definitely one of the rare times he's done it. He's one of the most hard-working artists ever! 3 concerts in one night and more after shows that I can remember. Get well soon Prince!

I don't think we have to worry, a flu can be hard to deal with. But if he cancels more performances during this tour then it could be something else. But I believe it's a really bad flu he got smile

They had did a whole skit with a re-done "Eye Feel 4 U" with a woman that sounded like Chaka singing. "Eye Feel 4 U, prince Eye fell on U".. It was b4 Chaka had lost all that weight. It was funny.

Eye do have a sense of humor U know. giggle

Leave it to some Orgers to make me go from, "The flu can be a serious downer, but I'm sure he'll be better soon!" to "Ohmigod! Is he really going to be okay? What if it really is super serious!!"

For it being a one-man show and the traveling, I say kudos to him and the success with this intimate tour (highly doubt current artists would of pulled this off).
However, he is human and not invincible sad . Health and his well-being should be a priority and once that's taken care of...on with the show guitar (couldn't find piano emoticon lol )

The Vault has a page for Cancelled & Rescheduled gigs and lists over 450 announced dates that were either moved or shelved for various reasons. And they state there that the list is by no means exhaustive.

http://www.princevault.co...d_Concerts

I was rather surprised it was so many, to be honest.

Carrying a whole show by urself has 2 b grueling on the health. Eye pray everyday that prince will get well soon. It's no other artist as healthy or takes better care of themselves than the ageless prince.

Hope he gets well too, cancelling for a flu is common in this day of "If you have a cold or a flu, stay away from us at work" mentality.

.

I also feel sorry for the fans. On facebook I knew a lot of people were very excited about these shows, and now they don't know when they are going ahead. Especially as this was announced like 3 or 4 hours before the 1st show.

.

It could be worse, a frail looking vegan at the age of 57 is not exactly the most robust constitution, a flu can do more damage to him than someone in their 30s with meat on their bones and a normal diet.

Got some kind of love for you, and I don't even know your name

I think it's safe to assume that Prince is dying his hair.

The only thing that can save him is a good chicken broth, laced with the tears of KCOOLMUSIQ.

Luckily Prince keeps a small briefcase containing several viles of pure KCOOLMUSIQ tears, of numerous vintages, on him at all times for such an emergency. Not only do they work as a pacifier to calm the nerves before a show, they are said to slow down the aging process and promote dexterity.
