Peter Andre recalls bad experience meeting Prince backstage Aussie singer Peter Andre was on Good Morning Britain this morning and recalled a time when he was summoned backstage to meet Prince, and as he was waiting in the corridor for Prince to emerge, one of Prince's security guards comes out and tells everyone to turn their backs to the wall as Prince is coming out and doesn't want to be seen. Peter said one guy who worked at the venue refused to do it and he found out later that this man got fired. [Edited 10/28/19 14:39pm] | |

That’s bizarre; him allowing Peter Andre backstage | |

Also.... its pure BS. Peter Andre 'summoned'? He's a walking, talking tabloid. |

How does one “summon” Peter Andre anyway? Moonwalking to a backmasked version of Billy Jean while ceremonially burning Molly Meldrum’s underwear?

I mean, if their backs were to the wall, that means the center isle was still open for him to walk between the 2 rows. They would still see him. 😂😂 U sure? And geez, why would someone fire someone for that? 😐  | |

Anyhoo, don't shoot the messenger, just reporting what I saw Peter Andre say on breakfast telly. To be fair to him, I don't see why he would just make it up out of thin air. He wasn't particularly slagging Prince off and even said "it might've just been Prince's security, Prince might not have known anything about it." But the female presenter Susannah Reid replied with "people like that make my skin crawl," so she seemed to interpret it in a bad way. I don't really see why it's that unbelievable anyway. Prince could be an absolute asshole at times and was renowned at times for treating those around him very poorly. [Edited 10/31/19 10:22am] | |

I think I worked it out. A lot of P's "weird" behaviour when backstage or whatever comes down to one specific thing: he was funny about being around tall blokes. In particular, being seen next to tall blokes, ESPECIALLY if women are around. He had to be the hottest thing in the room, and I think he thought women would still think "but he's so short" if next to tall guys.
Of course Prince didn't realise that to most women who were there to see him, anyone else was barely even visible, let alone hotter | |

If this is true (big if), I suspect it was more about Prince simply wanting to get out of there without people trying to talk to him, shake his hand, or otherwise get in his face.
As a performer, I can tell you that sometimes after a show, you're just exhausted and really don't want to be bothered. I've often disappointed castmates and others who wanted me to party after a performance when I've just blown them off and gone home.
