Prince to Tour Australia This Year
The rumours are true. Prince will be back (!!!!!!). In a short
Herald Sun piece on Saturday, writer Nui Te Koha stated simply that Prince will announce an Australian tour this week.
According to Nui, Prince had originally suggested a May tour, but dates have been pushed back due to
Lady Gaga's tour at the same time.
A promoter said ticket prices for Australian Prince gigs will be in line with current shows, which - given some tickets on Prince's last US tour could be bought for as little as $25 - could be very good news.
That said, anyone who forked out $100+ to see him last time he was in the country will gladly do it again. If, on the other hand, you need a reason to get excited about 53-year-old Prince Rogers Nelson coming back to Australia, Questlove has
33 of them.
US hip hop magazine Wax Poetics have devoted their
50th issue to Prince, and enlisted DaM-FunK to lay down this tribute mix to the Purple One. Good timing.
