Prince Trivia
|
- The symbol to which Prince changed his name (which is best rendered as ether O{+> or O(+> in normal ASCII characters), has always been pronouced in English as "Androgyny." The Androgeny symbol originated in and was borrowed by Prince from ancient Europe.
- Son of jazz pianist John L. Nelson.
- Has dated several famous women before settling down: Kim Basinger, Apollonia Kotero, and Sheena Easton to name a few.
- One of very few artists who has denied 'Weird Al' Yankovic permission to parody any of his songs. After years of asking, ''Weird Al' Yankovic' obtained video parody permission, and the video for UHF (1989) includes a sequence which spoofs the bathtub intro for Prince's "When Doves Cry".
- Son, with Mayte Garcia, born with the rare skull disease Pfeiffer's syndrome, and unable to breathe without a ventilator. The child was taken off life support on 23 October and died. [16 October 1996]
