Prince paid $4.8m for single Coachella set, apparently

they tried this trick with Madonna a couple of years back, she did I think a four-five song set, though I have no idea what her paycheque was like for that... mogwai headlined over her though!

Prince was absolutely stellar here last year, how would he fare at a festival..? though with that amount he'd be expected to bring a lightshow, fireworks or some Kiss style £D malarkey, surely?

get paid a bucket load- and most of them dont get anywhere close to prince

Don't forget he probably employs 300+ road team for all his set, lights, full band etc....theres about 10-12 members of his band and dancers alone....

I reckon it's well worth it....from the point of view of the number of people who will by tickets JUST to see him...

Please.

for the 5th year running. I caught the last of the 02 shows last year. It was rather epic. In spite of this, i am more excited about seeing Redd Kross.

Saw him 4 times at the O2 last year, the man is frankly incredible.
