Prince Bro-Down with George Lopez Comes to Shreds
Prince is in town. We wouldn't know about this, of course, if not for George Lopez and his late-night show on TBS -- y'know, the one that comes after Conan. On Monday night his purple majesty called in to Lopez Tonight to announce a 21-night stand at The Forum in Inglewood. But Wednesday night Prince got down with Team Loco, performing three songs (including new ones) and rapping with George about everything from Olive Garden to sweatsuits.
Prince's 21 Nite Stand kicks off tonight at the Los Angeles Forum. Tickets for the fourth show (April 23rd) go on sale at noon Friday via Ticketmaster. Tickets for thefirst three nights (April 14, 15, 22) may still be available -- the majority of tickets were put on sale at $25 inclusive of fees.
One year ago, Congress voted to defund public media, eliminating a critical $1.7 million from our budget every year going forward. But they couldn’t silence us, and we’re not going anywhere.
