He may have...I'm new to Prince world...but I think the josh earnest response referenced earlier was in response the a press uproar about the event not being on the public calendar and they were outraged that info was being withheld from them...

Gosh, it is so hard to think that at one time one of our biggest scandals was whether or not Prince had played a secret concert at the White House.

I've always thought Prince had a deep fondness and respect for Stevie. Not that he didnt for others but it was obvious with Stevie.
