Title: "Manager Says Prince To Quit Touring"
Written By: AP

Academy Award-winning rock star Prince gave some strange answers when asked about his plans, but his manager said the flamboyant singer will quit touring when his current 32-city swing ends Sunday. The concert at Miami's Orange Bowl "will be his last live appearance for an indeterminate number of years," manager Steve Fargnoli said yesterday in a statement issued by the singer's public relations company, the Howard Bloom Organization.

It quoted Fargnoli as saying, "I asked Prince what he planned to do. He told me, I'm going to look for the ladder.'

"So I asked him what that meant.All he said was, Sometimes it snows in April.'"

The statement said nothing about Prince's plans for records, tapes or movies.

Prince won an Oscar last month for best original score for his movie "Purple Rain." The album of the same name has been a top seller.
