<p>Prince&#8217;s Super Bowl weekend concert was a Super Bust.</p>
<p>The music superstar was supposed to perform on Friday night at TheEvent, a concert with Erykah Badu that was to be a fundraiser for The Goss-Michael Foundation, the art group founded by George Michael and his longtime partner, Kenny Goss.</p>
<p>But the performance never happened, and the circumstances surrounding the cancellation were as mysterious as the Purple One himself.</p>
<p>Things started falling apart early on Friday, when a statement of disappointment was sent by the foundation saying the concert was cancelled.</p>
<p>&#8220;It is our understanding that River Alexander Group, the event organiser, was unable to fund and produce the evening,&#8221; the statement said.</p>
<p>Then the statement was rescinded by the foundation shortly after that, with another saying the concert was back on: &#8220;Prince has arrived in Dallas and will perform this evening.&#8221;</p>
<p>But the concert, recently moved from a tent in downtown Dallas to a hotel just north of the city, never happened, and a source close to Prince said that he never came to Dallas.</p>
<p>Prince&#8217;s camp said the organisers never arranged for transportation for the singer and his band. </p>
<p>&#8220;Prince is extremely disappointed that the organisers, the Meridian Entertainment Group and the River Alexander Group &#8230; were unable bring him and his band to Dallas,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;They say that apparently they lost their investors and were unable to adequately fund the event.&#8221;</p>
<p>Dallas radio and TV personality Chris Arnold, the event&#8217;s MC and organiser, insisted Prince&#8217;s band arrived and set up at the hotel in the afternoon, but Prince never made it to Dallas. He said people who bought tickets to the show &#8211; which cost 1,500 dollars per ticket and even more for VIP packages &#8211; would have their money refunded at the point of purchase.</p>
