In 2016, we lost one one of the finest. The death of Prince is an event that falls into the realms of \u201cI know exactly where I was and what I was doing when …\u201d<\/strong><\/h4>\n
<\/div>\n
I was lucky enough to have seen Prince play many times and felt numb at the loss of a musical genius. The last time I saw him was the opening night of his stunning 21 night residency at the o2 on August 1, 2007 when Prince himself declared \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter who came before or who comes after. From now on the O2 is Prince\u2019s house\u201d. He was supported on stage during that tour by the New Power Generation as he belted out a total of 504 songs in 52 and a half hours on stage. He would often take to the stage again later in the evening at the gigs after party held in Indigo at the O2. So it is perhaps fitting that eleven years later on August 2nd, the New Power Generation will be bringing the music back to the Indigo in a celebration of Prince.<\/div>\n
