Prince Closes 2013 Billboard Music Awards With Rare Performance Medley

Amy Sciarretto — Mon, 20 May 2013 04:03:54 +0000

Prince closed the 2013 Billboard Music Awards with a rare (and incredibly noisy) performance, delivering a two-song medley to celebrate being honored with the Billboard Icon Award. After Prince was celebrated for his unfettered ability and desire to rock, he took the stage and began to deliver a funked out and ultimately slower, sexier and [...]

Prince Could Testify in Michael Jackson's Wrongful Death Suit

Cassandra Rose — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 10:15:03 +0000

Prince never worked with or knew Michael Jackson, but he may still testify against the tour promoter who both hired and was supposed to supervise Michael’s doctor, Conrad Murray, because that’s how the American justice system works. The late Michael Jackson and Prince could finally cross paths as MJ’s mother Katherine has plans to use [...]

Prince Releases 'Breakfast Can Wait' Single

Scott Shetler — Tue, 05 Feb 2013 11:35:48 +0000

How strange is it that Prince, the man who once diligently worked to keep his music off the web and who in 2010 declared "The Internet is dead," is now leaking new material online to create buzz? We don't quite understand the abrupt change in tactics, but we will never complain about receiving new music from the purple genius, like his latest offering, 'Breakfast Can Wait.'

Prince Hates Madonna, Maroon 5, Old People and Note-Taking, But Loves Black Female Lawyers

Jessica Sager — Sat, 26 Jan 2013 14:41:25 +0000

You already knew Prince was kind of an adorable weirdo, but specific oddities about the Purple One popped up in a recent Billboard interview that will either leave you scratching your head, wanting to high five him, rolling your eyes -- or any combination thereof.

The TLDR version: Prince hates Madonna, old people, cover songs and when reporters take notes or record things. But he totally loves his all-black, all-female legal team. So there's that.

Prince's Idiosyncrasies Include Team of Black Female Lawyers, Disdain for Old People + Hatred of Cover Songs

Scott Shetler — Fri, 25 Jan 2013 04:28:34 +0000

We didn't need Prince's new Billboard magazine cover story to tell us the guy was eccentric. That has been obvious for years. But the interview does provide some fascinating pieces of information about his idiosyncrasies, including the fact that he has an aggressive team of black female lawyers, he doesn't like old people and he abhors cover versions of songs, even though he's recorded numerous covers himself.

Prince Shows Off Skills in 'Rock and Roll Love Affair' Performance Video

Scott Shetler — Wed, 28 Nov 2012 13:06:19 +0000

For those who may have forgotten that Prince is a musical genius who has mastered at least a dozen instruments, he gently reminds us in the 'Rock and Roll Love Affair' video with an opening scene in which he plays guitar and keyboards at the same time, with one hand on each. That is some serious talent!

Prince Surprises Audiences with Mary J. Blige Duet at iHeart Radio Music Festival

Trent Fitzgerald — Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:32:38 +0000

The iHeart Radio Music Festival offered plenty of surprises, but nothing compared to the surprise audiences received on Saturday night (Sept. 22). Midway through Mary J. Blige's set, Prince was brought out onstage for a two-song

Maroon 5 Cover Prince's 'Kiss'

Alexandra Capotorto — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 12:38:09 +0000

If you haven’t already picked up Maroon 5‘s newest album ‘Overexposed,’ then you should probably march yourself over to the nearest corner and sit for a time out. We’re basically a walking advertisement for the album for two reasons: 1) We’re hoping Adam Levine will somehow notice us; and 2) The bonus tracks on the album are pretty sick.

Prince Swears Off Recording Until Someone Fixes the Internet

Jeff Giles — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 15:46:01 +0000

Ah, Prince. Whether he’s changing his name to a symbol, scrawling slogans on his face, threatening to sue his fans, or publicly daydreaming about a world in which no one is allowed to cover his songs, he’s always good for a provocative quote or two.

His latest interview, with the UK’s Guardian, didn’t disappoint.
