But, Wait! Prince Is Coming!

Below you'll see that note about Prince's show at the Hotel InterContinental being called off due to the show's organizer being unable to "fund and produce the evening." But seconds ago, this note dropped in the in-box from the Goss-Michael Foundation:
Circumstances have changed and TheEvent featuring Prince WILL take place this evening. The previous statement is rescinded. Prince has arrived in Dallas and will perform this evening.
Damn that was quick. But I still have questions. And now, I demand answers. Or ... something?

Update: As Pete notes, tix now half off. Which means: $750.

The way I see things, Jerry sold his soul (who knew he had one, I know?) to Old Scratch to get this Superbowl, then tried to renege on the deal cause he got a better offer. Now, Mephistopheles is getting his revenge.

We're talking Prince, George Michael and Kenny Goss. I can give you an explanation: Diva Drama.

In the meantime, 5 people are injured (one critically) as ice falls from Cowboys Stadium in Arlington. I can already imagine how the national/visiting media will be writing this one up. :/

quick publicity stunt to sell these million dollar tickets??

That would be the world's shortest publicity stunt. E-mail announcing cancellation came in at 1:23. At which point the head of Goss-Michael threw the event organizer under the bus. Follow-up arrived 2:16.

I've asked for an explanation and have yet to receive one.

Did a certain former member of Wham! make a call? And, yes, I mean Andrew Ridgely.

Nah, call Pete Freedman. He's going.

But the rest of you -- you know who you are.
