The Prince Tour @ O2, London

Last week Beverley fulfilled a long-term dream with the first of two special guest appearances supporting her musical hero Prince at London’s O2 Arena on Friday night. She played to blistering 30-minute set to open for him and he then personally invited her to jam with him at the aftershow where he played guitar with her on Keep This Fire Burning and Piece Of My Heart. She then sang with his band backing him on hits like A Love Bizarre and Controversy as well as taking lead on a blistering version of Sweet Thing.

Bev attends Prince’s gig at Koko, Camden

Beverley Knight has hit out at a Prince fan who stormed the stage as her idol performed on Thursday (10th May 07). The woman leaped on the stage during the Purple Rain star’s celebrity-studded show in London, forcing a kiss on the stunned singer and knocking him to the ground. Startled Prince ran off the stage, returning a few minutes later to tell the crowd, “I’m so ashamed I let a total stranger kiss me.” Knight, 34, sympathised with the star saying, “It was so disgusting. I can’t believe anyone would be that disrespectful. What makes you think you can behave that way with Prince?”
