Say it Ain't so!

After the discouraging news that Prince needed a new hip last year, the purple one has now joined Celine Dion, Elton John, and Barry Manilow as a Vegas headiner. The diminutive rocker will play Friday and Saturday night shows at 3121, a nightclub inside the Rio hotel. He'll be performing there every weekend starting Nov. 10 until further notice. Tickets for the 21-and-over shows cost $125 and will be available beginning Nov. 2. Prince will also host Wednesday-night concerts at the club by other artists.

The good news: You won't have to settle for a Prince cover band in Vegas no more!
The bad news: Prince has become a Vegas headliner

Someone break the news gently to Keenan.

I think we all know you'll still find Karen front-and-center at the Boardwalk casino bar stage. (Ominously, there don't seem to be any scheduled Purple Reign shows on their site. Hmmm... Smacked down by the purple iron fist?)

UPDATE: Apparently the Boardwalk is no more...

I would comment, but I'm too busy simultaneously weeping over the Boardwalk's demise and booking the next flight to Vegas.

Why are all the cool musicians like Elton John, Barry Manilow, Tom Jones and Celione Dion playing in Vegas? Can't they share the love?

Does this oficially make Prince our generations Mel Torme?
