Refunds for Prince fans as Croker gig cancelled

PURPLE may be his colour but fans are seeing red after pop star Prince cancelled his Irish concert.

The performer pulled out of next Monday’s Croke Park gig without warning, leaving more than 55,000 ticket holders disappointed.

The show had been billed as the last time he would perform his greatest hits here. The singer turned 50 last weekend and he has been touring with ever-increasing irregularity in recent years.
