Prince death: ‘Tell the cat to chill’ before no-show at Croke Park

“Tell the cat to chill.”

That was reportedly the phrase used by Prince when he was told Irish music promoter Denis Desmond was becoming anxious about whether the music megastar’s concert at Croke Park was going to go ahead in the summer of 2008.

As it turned out Mr Desmond had good reason to be fearful. The concert was due to take place on June 16 of that year.
