Prince kicks the bucket

Independent, The (London),  Aug 17, 2007  by OLIVER DUFF

The walking hairball formerly known as Prince, right, took a break from his London residency in Docklands to watch the premiere of Matt Damon's new action feature (see above).

The aftershow party was held around the rooftop swimming pool at flash new members' club Shoreditch House. A rainstorm sent celebs scurrying inside to the downstairs bar and caused the roof above the stairwell to leak like Niagara. A bouncer placed a champagne bucket on a step to catch the rainwater.

Prince and his brolly-wielding entourage stormed down the stairs in a self-important flurry and - perhaps because he was wearing his enormous "sunnies" - the musician didn't notice the bucket. He tripped over it, managing to steady himself but punting the dirty contents over a fox in a cocktail dress. [Insert "Purple Rain" gag.]
