WDAS is Philly was playing Musicology today and after the song the DJ said that the Alicia Keys camp was in negotiations with the Prince camp to have Alicia added to the tour at some point. Has anyone else heard this? This would be surprising to me considering that Alicia Keys has just started a tour with Beyonce and Missy Elliott.

WDAS alo mentioned that Beyonce asked Prince to be her musical director for her tour but Prince declined due to his extensive touring plans for 2004.

prince is just blowing up hardcore in 2004 and beyond,
what a champion

It was mentioned here twice last week, originally:

Keys was interviewed in The Observer, a UK Sunday newspaper. It was indicated that, because of commitments, it was only likely to happen later in the tour. She will also be touring during the Summer so, if anything were to happen, her appearances might only be occasional - or they might be after the current schedule of arranged dates, and not necessarily in the US.

But as it stands, there's nothing fixed anyway.

ok, so that's why...
the great speech...
for a deal?

I doubt it. She seemed truly moved, and she's not that good of an actress. And after all, she has been a fan for years. So imagine yourself inducting Prince...
