Prince disappoints fans at aftershow party

Disgruntled Prince fans who paid $150 to attend an early morning aftershow event in Connecticut on Monday (30Dec13) have been offered refunds after their hero failed to perform.

The devotees hoped the Purple Rain singer had something special planned for them after three successive nights at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, which ended with performances from Doug E. Fresh and Janelle Monae on Sunday night (29Dec13), but it was not to be.

Instead, Prince, who was not billed to perform at the Mohegan Sun resort bash, appeared briefly in the DJ's mixing desk to prompt the playing of a new track and then his backing band The NPG took the stage shortly after 4am and played for just 20 minutes.

Fans booed when it became clear the show was over.
