Prince angers fans with 'no show'

Prince has angered fans by failing to appear at the official aftershow following his London concert on Sunday.

The superstar was due to appear at the capital's Indigo2 venue after his concert at the O2 Arena, with many of his fans purchasing tickets for the aftershow event for up to £75 (€111).

But the singer's website states he may not appear at the aftershow party, claiming "the band usually opts to rest" and Prince would not be playing at Friday night's "aftershow".

However, fans on chat forums such as prince.org and housequake.com have alleged these messages were not prominently displayed when they booked tickets and had the impression that these "aftershow" events were further Prince concerts.

The star is currently enjoying a 21-night tour, playing sets of about two hours in length in the main O2 arena.
