Prince to have hip replacement surgery

The Purple One's dancing gives him joint pain

Prince is set to undergo hip replacement surgery after years of dancing.

The singer is reportedly in pain every time he performs, and needs major surgery on his hip, which will see his hip joint removed and replaced with a titanium joint, reports the News Of The World.

The 49-year-old recently announced a one-off show in Dublin’s Croke Park stadium, scheduled to take place June 16.

Because of all his dancing?

Nothing to do with that whole 'rib-removal' thing?

I thought he had something done before about his hip. I guess he didn't listen to the doctors, now its surgery time. Welcome to the big 50, baby. Speedy recovery.
Love.
