Prince singing the National Anthem?

Does anyone know if Prince has ever sung the National Anthem at the beginning of a major sporting event (or even just the Twins season opener or something!)? If not, do you think he ever would? I for one think that'd be pretty cool.

I can't believe he's never been invited to do it; if he's been declining, I wonder why. Worried about not having any control of the sound quality and how it gets recorded? A "political statement," so to speak? I've seen events in the northern states where the Canadian anthem was also performed, maybe that would be an added incentive for him now lol. What do others know or think about this? flag canada

You are. They don't believe in nationalism of any sort.
The world is a comedy for those who think and a tragedy for those who feel.
