Prince to Roll Out Concert Leg in December

Prince on Thursday night announced a concert series in which Sinbad, Esperanza Spalding, Mint Condition, Sheila E., Janelle Monae, Cassandra Wilson and Maceo, among others, will be joining him as special guests.  Prince, who was wearing a  ruffled black suit and sunglasses said during his press conference at New York’s Apollo Theater, I have a lot of hits.  Bring your footspray.  It will be funky.

The details are not clear yet.  However Prince did say the shows will start on a December 2010 Purple Day.  A rep from LiveNation said there are plans for a multiple night stand, entitled “Welcome 2 America” for the New York City area.  The last time Prince had an extensive tour of the U.S. was in 2004.  In 2006 he did have a brief Las Vegas residency and in 2008 was a headliner at Coachella.
