Prince and Madonna discussed joint tour before his death - but he said "the world wasn't ready"

In an Instagram tribute to the late star on Thursday, Madonna’s manager Guy Oseary shared how he almost got Prince to go on a world tour with Madonna!

I called him a few years back with the idea of @Madonna and Prince going on tour together.
I pitched it to Madonna and within a second she said “I like it, we can call it the Royalty Tour…
The Queen and The Prince”….
I love the way she thinks…
When I told Prince the idea he said: “the world isn’t ready for this, it’s too big”..
I always felt like one day I would pull it off..
@Madonna performed in #stpaul last year and Prince was generous enough to host us and perform for us after that show at his home #paisleypark ..
He didn’t go on stage until 3am, and per usual the show performance was mindblowing..
He joined me this last New Years in St Bart’s and performed for my friends party at what will now be the last time I saw him..
This photo was taken summer of 1999.. Yes.. “1999″..
Today not only will doves cry, we all cry.. You will be missed.. I love you.. Rest in peace..

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
