That's the same picture as on the back of the CD/DVD case Prince was holding in the NPGMC photo a few weeks back. Doesn't look so much like a D+P era shot now, does it?

Curiouser and Curiouser...

More importantly though, when are they gonna be shown in the UK...if ever they are?

Taureau said:

i think there is a thread showing UK grammy times so do a search for that!

one funny thing is, artists look kissing arse of legends at awards shows, maybe more at MTV than grammies, but im sure princes presence will cause a stir, and tonnes of artists who kiss his ass in interviews will be there. it would be nice to see him get alot of props on the night!

There is a magazine out called One World where George Clinton interviews Andre 3000 from Jan. 2004. Andre says he never met Sly or Prince. And George told him he would make it happen.
