Purple Rocker Prince to Reign in Vegas
The artist formerly known as Prince will be performing in Las Vegas every weekend starting on November 10.
The purple rocker will play on Friday and Saturday night shows at 3121 inside the Rio hotel. This according to P R Plus, a Vegas firm representing the club.
Tickets for the 21-and-over shows are pegged at $125.
Prince will also host Wednesday-night concerts at the club by other artists.
Prince, who once changed his name into unpronounceable symbol, joins a growing contingent of celebrities regularly featured in Vegas Hotels including Celine Dion, Elton John, Bary Manilow and Toni Braxton.
Prince will play indefinitely at the nightclub, which has been hosting a topless revue called Club Eroticka since February 2005.
Born Prince Rogers Nelson on June 7, 1958, Prince is a popular and influential American musician.
Although his musical style was firmly rooted in R&B, funk and soul, his music has spanned a multitude of styles absorbing many other genres including new wave, pop, rock, blues, jazz and hip hop.
The distinctive characteristics of the early-to-mid 1980s work which brought him to superstardom (including sparse and industrial-sounding drum machine arrangements, and the use of synthesizer riffs to serve the role traditionally occupied by horn riffs in earlier R&B, funk and soul music) became known as the "Minneapolis sound," which proved heavily influential.
Tafkap has a reputation as a workaholic, having released over a thousand songs both under his own name and through other artists, and is known for having composed and recorded many more songs that remain unreleased.
However, Prince has been reputed as being somewhat difficult to work with for being a perfectionist and highly protective of his music.
He writes, composes and produces most of his music single-handedly, and plays most of the instruments on his albums.
He also is a well-known songwriter for other artists, and some of those songs have topped the charts as well. Critics and colleagues have referred to the quality of Prince's work and its versatility as being indicative of musical genius.
His father, John L. Nelson played in a jazz trio "The Prince Rogers Trio", hence Prince's birth name.
There are a number of myths regarding Prince's ethnicity and gender. The most pervasive is that he is the child of a black father and white mother, a myth later bolstered by the film Purple Rain, starring Prince himself.
His parents are, in fact African-American, his mother of African-American, Indian and Caucasian lineage while his father is of Black and Italian ancestry.
His parents gradually drifted apart after the birth of his sister Tika Evene in 1960. He briefly lived with his father when his parents formally separated. His father bought him his first guitar.
Later, Prince moved in with a neighborhood family, the Andersons, and became friends with their son, Andre Anderson (later called André Cymone).
Prince and Anderson joined Prince's cousin Charles Smith in a band called Grand Central, formed in junior high school. Initially his involvement was just part of a mainly instrumental band that played clubs and parties in the Minneapolis area. As time went by and Prince's musical knowledge broadened he found himself dictating the arrangements to the rest of the band.
He then became the band's frontman. By the time Prince had entered high school, Grand Central evolved into Champagne and started playing original music already drawing on a range of influences including Sly Stone, James Brown, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix.
In 1976, he started working on a demo tape with producer Chris Moon in a Minneapolis studio. He also had the patronage of Owen Husney, to whom Moon introduced him, allowing him to produce a quality demo.
Husney then started contacting major labels and ran a campaign promoting Prince as a star of the future, resulting in a bidding war eventually won by Warner Bros. Records. They were the only label to give Prince creative control of his songs and offered him a contract.
