Basketball, blouses and pancakes: Paisley Park unpacks the hoops history of Prince after video goes viralA short highlight of Prince shooting hoops on stage in the late 1980's generated more than 3 million views online in just a day. Here's the story behind it.
A short, 25 second video of the iconic musician spinning a basketball on his finger and then casually draining a jump shot on stage during a tour in the late 1980’s, already has more than 3 million views on Twitter, after being posted by @freezp0p on Thursday. KARE11 visited with Mitch Maguire, Legacy Preservationist at Paisley Park about the clip and how basketball is became a part of Prince’s legacy. Kent Erdahl: "That was actually part of his tour, correct?" Mitch Maguire: "It was. It was part of the Lovesexy Tour, which began in 1988 and finished in 1989. It was a very elaborate tour. There was a lot of production value involved in that one, including a basketball hoop that was on stage with Prince.”
Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking. |
