Prince fans, who paid $150 to attend an early morning after show event in Connecticut on December 30, have been offered refunds after their hero failed to perform.
They hoped Prince had something special planned for them after three successive nights at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, which ended with performances from Doug E. Fresh and Janelle Monae on Sunday night, but it was not to be.

Instead, Prince, who was not billed to perform at the Mohegan Sun resort bash, appeared briefly in the DJ’s mixing desk to prompt the playing of a new track and then his backing band The NPG took the stage shortly after 4 a.m. and played for just 20 minutes. Fans booed when it became clear the show was over.
Jennifer Lopez revealed why she broke down in tears and left the stage while performing at Mohegan Sun arena on Saturday night.
Jennifer Lopez, 42, has sought to explain why she became emotional in front of the packed auditorium after performing a rendition of new song One Love, revealing she reacted to the sympathetic atmosphere in the crowd.
The American Idol judge told later Access Hollywood:
“You know what it was? I was standing there and I realized that I did bare a little bit of my thoughts in this song and I acted it out kind of for the audience.
“And the way they received it was very touching. I think that they felt what I felt, which was that I’m just a girl like everyone else.”

Wearing a sparkling costume, Jennifer Lopez seemed quite overcome, holding a hand to her chest and looking out over the crowd.
“I’m going to sing you the last song I wrote about love. A lot has changed since then,” the star told the crowd.
“We wanted to do a section of the show that talked about love,” she said.
“And through it, I go through all the different moments of my life.
“At the end of the day it’s a journey. It’s about love, It’s about loving yourself.
“The audience saw me being open so they saw it was a regular person like everybody else. I have feelings like everybody else.
“My life gets great and gets not so great sometimes,” Jennifer Lopez admitted. “It is what it is.”
Jennifer Lopez also acknowledged she became more emotional when she spotted her mother in the audience, and when she performed song Until It Beats No More.
“I didn’t see her the whole time until this one moment, and I was a bit emotional.
“The song reminds me of my babies. It always did.
“My mom, my family – they are there during the hard times. The babies – I’m strong for them.”
Her show at Mohegan Sun Arena also saw a cavalcade of potentially emotional moments for Jennifer Lopez when dancers recreated her important relationships while she sang.
One moment was when a P. Diddy double danced with the female dancer wearing a copy of her infamous slit-down-to-the navel Versace gown. Another one was while a ringer for her ex-husband Cris Judd danced with a pared down Lopez look-a-like in jeans.
Next moment was when a doppelganger was wearing a copy of the mint green gown Jennifer Lopez wore to the Oscars with then fiancé Ben Affleck as she twirled with a square-jawed replica of The Town star.
In the end came the most dazzling pairing from the twosome reliving Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s American Idol performance from May, only weeks before they announced the end of their marriage.
Jennifer Lopez might have pleaded with us “not to be fooled by the rocks that she’s got” in a past song but if it weren’t for strategically placed sequins, she would have literally bared all to her audience at one point.
Currently, the showbiz world is abuzz with rumours about Jennifer Lopez romance with A-Team hunk Bradley Cooper, 37.
However, Jennifer Lopez pledged not to speak about any romances until she is in another serious relationship at her fashion line launch in Connecticut last week.
The star said she wants to protect her three-year-old twins Emme and Max in case her relationships do not work out.
Jennifer Lopez said: “As a mom, and having children, right now they’re my first priority.
“And because of them, I wouldn’t ever comment on anything until I’m in a serious relationship again.
“It would just be confusing for them and it would be unfair. And so at the end of the day, it’s about them.”
Jennifer Lopez tried to hide her face when she was spotted enjoying some time alone with Bradley Cooper earlier this week.
Jennifer Lopez and Bradley Cooper are believed to have started dating in September, when they were spotted enjoying dinner at Per Se restaurant in New York.

Jennifer Lopez broke down and had to leave the stage last night in Connecticut at the Mohegan Sun Arena’s 15th anniversary celebration as she sang about lost love in front of a packed auditorium.
Jennifer Lopez, 42, had just performed a raw, unembellished rendition of If You Had My Love when she told the audience that the 1999 track was “the first song I wrote about love”
Then Jennifer Lopez shocked the crowd by beseeching: “What is love?”
Adding: “As the last song I wrote about love…a lot has changed since then.”
If You Had My Love lyrics centre on the theme of trust.

Jennifer Lopez wrote the song when she was in a fledgling relationship with rapper P Diddy. They had a tumultuous relationship for three years before she married backing dancer Chris Judd.
After a while, Jennifer Lopez became one half of Bennifer with Ben Affleck, and embroiled in one of the highest profile relationships of the last ten years, until it ended in their wedding being called off at the last minute.
Jennifer Lopez found love and motherhood Marc Anthony, and as they headed towards their seventh wedding anniversary in June this year, things seemed to still be hot.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony wowed American Idol fans with their sizzling performance together on the May final, but just weeks later they announced their split.
Tellingly in the song that Jennifer Lopez penned before all this happened, she ends her entreaty to a lover with the line: “I have to know the truth, If I spend my life with you.”
J Lo had set herself up for the cavalcade of painful feelings by having dancers recreate her important relationships while she sang.
A P Diddy double danced with the female dancer wearing a copy of her infamous slit-down-to-the navel Versace gown, while a ringer for her ex-husband Chris Judd danced with a paired down Jennifer Lopez-a-like in jeans.
Another doppelganger was wearing the mint green gown she wore to the Oscars with fiancé Ben Affleck as she twirled with a square-jawed replica of The Town star.
The most dazzling pairing came from the twosome reliving Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony’s American Idol performance from May, only weeks before they announced the end of their marriage.
An onlooker told RadarOnline.com: “At the end of the song she started sobbing and had to take a few moments to keep it together.”
“She held it together for one song but then ran offstage crying.
“She only sang a few more songs and she was obviously out of it. Everyone was so sad for her. It was really dramatic.”
