Prince Joins Twitter

Prince has joined Twitter. Despite his previous criticism of social networking, the superstar is finally using Twitter.

Prince’s messages are appearing on the account for his band 3rd Eye Girl. Fans were reluctant to believe Prince was actually using Twitter. However, his identity was confirmed by Tatiana Grace, who simply Tweeted “Ps. Yes, that is Prince…”

As reported by City Pages, Prince seems to enjoy sending messages to his fans. In addition to the tweets, he has also posted a few pictures.

One of the photos features a salad covered in copious amounts of pepper. In the included message, he asks fans if they think the pepper was a bit too much.

Another picture is an actual photo of Prince. However, it does not appear to be new. Prince looks quite young in the photo, which was obviously taken in a studio.

A third photo is being called a selfie. However, it features smoke rather than the artist himself.

The current content is not entirely interesting. The big news is that Prince joined Twitter. If he maintains his interest in the site, more interesting Tweets and selfies are sure to follow.

Born Prince Rogers Nelson, Prince is admired worldwide as a talented singer, songwriter, musician, and performer.

As reported by Biography.com, Prince’s first album, For You, was released in 1979. He became a sensation with the release of Purple Rain in 1984.

Between 1993 and 2000, Prince’s name became a symbol. At this time he was often referred to as the artist formerly known as Prince.

Prince disappeared from the spotlight for several years, returning in 2004 for the Grammy Awards. Prince performed with Beyoncé Knowles, letting the world know that he was back in business.

Prince has released four albums since 2004.

Prince’s new band, 3rd Eye Girl, does not have any current tour dates. However, they have discussed continuing their tour before the end of the year.
