Pricey Prince concert canceled at last minute

DALLAS (AP) — Prince’s Super Bowl-weekend concert was a Super Bust.

The superstar was supposed to perform at a fundraiser for the art foundation of George Michael and his longtime partner, Kenny Goss.

Things started falling apart early Friday, though, when a statement was sent by the foundation saying the concert was canceled. Then the statement was rescinded shortly after that, saying the concert was back on.

But the concert, recently moved from a tent in downtown Dallas to a hotel just north of the city, never materialized Friday night.

A source close to Prince says he’s “extremely disappointed” that the organizers were unable to bring him and his band to Dallas.
