Rock Myths #16

'Pint-sized' guitarist and hero of symbol-monikered people across the world, Prince, is actually more than all he's made out to be. When graduating from high school in the 70s Prince joined local band 'Larger Than Life', a group of freakishly tall bluesmen who saw in their young protege a talent unrivalled. On their rise they decided to drop the group name and perform as Prince's backing band and have continued as such to this day.

Thus, with a backing band of an average height of 7ft 3 inches, Prince appears to be a midget on stage when he is in fact 5 foot 11, a comfortable half foot taller than Lenny Kravitz.
