Feast fit for Prince going to the homeless

Pop legend Prince to donate surplus food from his rider at Dublin gig to Depaul charity. There is no indication if raspberry sorbet will be on the menu.

HERE’S A PRINCELY feat. His Purpleness, the artist Prince, has instructed that all surplus food from his rider, catering, dressing room and that served to crew and audiences at his Malahide Castle show be donated to Depaul Ireland.

The Princely (sorry) feast will go to “homeless or less fortunate” people after the 30 July gig in Co Dublin when he brings his Greatest Hits Show to town.

Prince said:

I can’t wait to play Dublin. It’s gonna be an incredible show. It’s going to be a show of real music by real musicians.

Kerry Anthony, CEO of Depaul Ireland said:

We are delighted to accept the donation of food from Prince.

We say: Will there be raspberry sorbet?
