Pop Idol Prince Too Hot For Burbank?
Prince & The Band performed on the Tonight Show With Jay Leno. A brief evacuation of the Leno caused by Access Hollywood was the given reason? Why do we have a feeling that the hotness leading up to Prince’s performance and the background set was the real cause.
During his performance, Prince turned it loose, performing a song that has never been performed on TV before and with good reason. Accompanying the band was Ledisi and members of Grupo Fantasma along with the return of Renato Neto. Prince did a few station i.d.’s with Jay and Jay called him the Pop Idol, which Prince rather liked.
After the station i.d.’s, “The P.I.” came out and did two more songs for the lucky fans and guests who were able to attend. He did “Guitar” and “1999″ as Leno crew came from behind the scenes to watch Prince own it. We were told by a Tonight Show insider that it’s been since the Johnny Carson days of the Tonight Show since there was that much excitement for a musical performer.
Prince ended the show saying “See You At Coachella”. Yes, we will.-Dr.FB
