KNIGHT STRUGGLED TO COPE WITH PRINCE'S STAMINA
British soul singer BEVERLEY KNIGHT was crippled with pain during her support stint with PRINCE - because her feet couldn't cope with the pop legend's mammoth shows.
The Kiss superstar took on a 21-night residency at London's 02 in 2007, and was famed for his lengthy performances.
But the singer didn't stop there - he carried on with a string of aftershow gigs, which went on for more than four hours.
And Knight, who Prince approached personally to support him throughout his U.K. run, found herself worn out by the star's stamina - and even had to remove her shoes in a bid to keep up with him.
She says, "I don't think time means anything to him. When we did the 02 aftershows I think I was onstage for four hours with him. I actually kicked my shoes after a while because I couldn't cope with the pain.
"Luckily for me I know his catalogue really, really well. He has only a vague setlist, but it goes out of the window and he plays what he feels like. I loved it, being on the edge like that and not knowing what was going on."
