what a stupid question to ask! haha
Anything specific?

Well he was supposedly really happy with Musicology, so I'd expect something next year maybe.

Well, 3121 is coming this march!

My brother, biggest Prince geek in the world, said that he was supposed to be touring UK at some point. That true??

He didn't change his name, he just stopped allowing his record company to use it and used a symbol instead.

Sorry to say, but it was indeed a name change. From Prince to O(+> then back to Prince again.

BTW, I thought I'd thought I'd bring this in. I'm sure you've all heard the nice latin song Teamo Carazon well the next single is titled Black Sweat. Interestingly titled, I wonder how it's going to sound?

He changed the use, yes. He adoped the symbol he didn't actually change his name to it.

He legally stopped his label from using his name, he didn't change it.

He didn't put his name on the albums; instead he just used a symbol. He didn't actually change his name. The symbol wasn't his 'name'.

^^does it even matter that much??? He did so he could release more music and get away from a contract that was trying to control him- therefore a good thing.

It does matter because he didn't actually change his name did he?

The name "change" didn't stop WB from releasing his music. During the O(+> era WB still released albums such as The Vault: Old friends 4 sale under Prince's name. It may not have been a legal name change (and by that I mean like the name on his Driver's license etc). It was a stage name change. This was stopping WB from releasing any new material recorded by Prince from that point forward. Because the contract is contracted to Prince. WB have no right release anything under O(+> only songs recorded by Prince. The whole reason for the name change was to stop them releasing new material, not to stop them releasing material all together. That's the reason why in 2000 Prince decided to use that name again, because Prince's contract with them had expired. If you notice on the back on Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic there are two names there. The album was produced by Prince ( 🙄 ) and tracks were recorded and etc by O(+>. I'm pretty sure the usage of the name Prince was for promotional purposes, but some legal doing would have had to have been sorted. I'm not saying you guys are wrong I'm just clearing things up.

As stated above, aware. His name has always been Prince, never said anything different.
