Exclusive! PRINCE Reaches Out To Former Revolution Member After Heart Attack
Former PRINCE & The Revolution member Bobby Z. had a heart attack earlier this month. He has since been released and is back home. His former boss has a special treat in mind for him and fans.
PRINCE will be funking up the Oracle Arena next week in Oakland and PRINCE and company are rushing to get a new "Cali4nia" tour book ready for opening night! Tickets are selling fast, so you better hurry.
The shot above taken from the Parade era featuring PRINCE, Bobby Z., & Wendy Melvoin will be in the new version of the tour book. Also, other shots taken at PRINCE's recording studio Paisley Park and his run of sold out shows at Madison Square Garden will be featured as well.
PRINCE & The New Power Generation wants Bobby Z. to come out soon to join the tour and play "Purple Rain" with him.
Prince had this to say exclusively to DrFunkenberry.com;
"Nobody plays drums on the song "Purple Rain" like Bobby. Never flashy or loud, he plays like a slow burn love song. Bobby's way of playing made each live rendition of the song better than the last."
Hopefully, Bobby will be able to play "Purple Rain" soon.
What do you guys think of the photo and PRINCE's comments about Bobby Z?-Dr.FB

great that prince is playing out west is it just me but the whole ballerina thing is silly we were at MSG for concert and it was awesome but leave the ballerina home.

I like that Prince has opened up to share his feelings about Bobby Z & it would be awesome if they could share the stage again. When they do get to perform Purple Rain again I hope its recorded on HD/DVD so the world will get to see it . . . I LOVE the picture !!!! I want that program book . . . too bad I’m not in Cali.
Thanks for the info Doc I love your site I don’t get to come around as much as I used to. . . keep up the good work

Prince is so sweet! i hate it when people sometimes say he doesn’t care because maybe he does but he doesn’t want to say anything. No doubt the folks over THERE will have something to complain about!
