Prince: Disappointed With Sound; Excited for New Music

The show must go on was Prince’s mantra as he headlined three different concerts with sound problems in Los Angeles, according to Reuters. He pleaded with technicians half way through the first 90-minute show to fix the monitors, and the third performance started late because of sound-check problems. During renditions of his biggest hits, Prince called out executives from the venues for the sub-par sound. The artist is celebrating the release of his new three-disc album “Lotusflow3r,” being sold exclusively at Target.—CJ
