Prince will go purple with rage if Scots get their mobile out at Glasgow Hydro gig
THE singer has sent an email to everyone who has a ticket for tomorrow night's gig, asking them to wear purple but not to use their mobiles to take pictures of him.
Singer Prince will perform at The Hydro.
FANS heading to see Prince at the Hydro tomorrow night have been asked to don purple in honour of the Purple Rain star – but have been warned not to use their phone cameras or cameras for precious snaps.
An email from booking agents Ticketmaster was sent out yesterday with instructions from the 55-year-old, pint-sized superstar.
The email said: "Hi there, Please wear purple.
"The show is coming up soon, so the event organisers have been in touch to ask all those attending to wear something purple.
"They also kindly ask you not to bring cameras and not to use your phones to film or take photos during the concert."
A spokesperson for promoters SJM said: "There is a no recording and no cameras policy, and fans are only encouraged to wear purple, it isn't mandatory."
Prince is notorious for demanding the removal of videos of his work, including fan footage, from the internet.
However, it seems, based on previous shows, that the request not to use camera phones is not down to simply stopping fans from taking his picture or filming their favourite songs.
On the other arena dates so far, he has shouted, "Cellphones out!" during Hot Thing, so the thousands of illuminated screens all appear at once.
At least this way people might actually watch some of the show, rather than seeing a tiny version of it rendered on their phone screens.
With hit-packed sets taking in enough of the classics to thrill any fan, it looks like the SSE Hydro show could be one of the gigs of the year.
Even if you don't show up dressed head-to-toe in purple...
