EARLIER THIS MORNING, MCD tweeted the exciting news that His Royal Purpleness is coming to town next summer.
Naturally everyone got very excited at the prospect of Prince making his way to these shores again. The singer settled a legal battle with the production company over a cancelled concert in 2008.
Sadly however, the tricksters were referring to this Purple One:
Yes, Barney the Dinosaur, who will be playing the Olympia in Dublin next summer.
The deception hit Prince fans hard.
Someone needs to tell those cats to chill.
