Prince's Awkward Celebrity Encounters & Sneaky Exits

0:00On April 17th, Prince was a global icon, but he got real awkward around other big-name celebs unless he was a straight-up fan of theirs. Bobby Z from his band said Prince could get shy or just brush him off, like barely shaking Elizabeth Taylor's hand and calling it a day. Take this wild backstage moment, Bruce Springsteen and Madonna wanted to link up after a show, but Prince locked his dressing room and made him use the... Bands' bathroom instead. On the flip side, he lit up meeting David Bowie of Paisley Park, seeing him as a troupe here. His early manager Owen Husney called him Super Shy, way more at ease with 10,000 fans screaming than a small group of five. Audio engineer Susan Rogers baked him cookies to ease that loneliness since he hated small talking celebs circles. George Clinton shared how Prince always plotted sneaky exits from venues, and once in London two years before he passed, Prince shouted him out from. The balcony, stole the spotlight, then dipped out on all the fans.

Gig classic Prince, flipping the script on fame without missing a beat. That's your entertainment and celebrity news today update, AI powered and always trending.
