From what could've been the biggest pop duet ever to his favorite meal during the 'Purple Rain' era, here are 25 Facts You Probably Didn’t Know About Prince.
Since Prince enforced a camera ban at his shows -- this way fans can actually enjoy the songs instead of recording them -- no one has really been able to see what goes down during one of his recent live performances. However, the lauded singer himself decided to share the action with his loyal supporters and released footage of his 'Let's Go Crazy' performance with 3rdEyeGirl.
Prince is not the biggest fan when it comes to the Internet posting his songs and videos without his permission. The soul icon has now slapped 22 bloggers and Facebook users with a $22 million lawsuit for bootlegging his live concerts.
Prince rarely gives interviews, so when he covered the new, fall preview issue of V, with a tightly spun afro and his massive, liquid-like eyes, it was a big deal. Make that huge.
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.'
I don't think Prince will ever be as big as he was during the "Purple Rain" days of the 80's. But he's still got some great songs in him. This new one, called "Screwdriver", is not bad. It's not epic by any means, but it's catchy.
Some songs were just done right the first time. In other words no matter what band covers them, or how they cover them, the original will always be the best. Prince's "Kiss" is one of those songs.
