Prince has settled a lawsuit filed against him by a concert promoter for allegedly canceling a Dublin show at the last minute. The singer/songwriter was sued by MCD for an abandoned concert at Croke Park in June 2008.

MCD was seeking 1.7 million euros or $2.31 million from the star and his management team for damages. It claimed that after paying half of the singer's $3 million fee to William Morris Endeavor Entertainment and selling more than 55,000 tickets, Prince canceled the show without any explanation.
It had also paid 700,000 euros or $951,000 for the use of Croke Park.

But on June 6, 2008, the concert promoter was then informed that Prince wished to cancel the June 16 concert.

Details of the two camps' settlement were not disclosed in court, but Denis Desmond of MCD said he was "delighted" with the outcome although sad for the 55,000 fans who bought tickets for the event.

He added to the IrishTimes.com that he would "gladly" have Prince to play a concert in Ireland and advised him to get a good manager. icelebz
