Representatives for PRINCE have demanded record label bosses remove the superstar's famous symbol from the cover of an upcoming Michael Jackson's album!


The symbol, which the Purple Rain hitmaker once used as his stage name, mysteriously featured in the original artwork for Michael, which features a painted collage of pictures and icons.

Artist Kadir Nelson claims he based the design on "key moments and important people in Michael Jackson's life".


But the symbol has now been removed after a request from Prince's camp, and a statement published on Drfunkenberry.com reads:

"No permission was granted. Sony Entertainment has removed the symbol."




If you squint, you can just about see it in the image below:
