Rumors of Whitney Houston's banishment from Prince concerts have been greatly exaggerated...
A statement released to the press decreed,
"Whitney Houston is always welcome at Prince shows 4 all of eternity. Seeing her at 2 shows at The Forum in LA was a treat, especially when she sang with Chaka Khan and danced with Prince during his set. We love her always."
TMZ, who broke the story, stands by their original report, but also printed their source's explanation for the mix up admitting,
"Someone could have taken it upon themselves to say Whitney was banned ... but it did not come from Prince."
"Whoever decided Whitney was banned did not have the authority to do so."
