It's emerged that pint sized Pop Star 'Prince' Rogers Nelson the artist formerly known as 'Thingy' has apparently for the last few months been doing more reeling than rocking. Sources close to the star said a secret operation was performed by British Surgeon Dr Jerry Cackhand m.r.s.a. at Mount Sinai Medical Center where the Star was born.
Early on in the operation complications had set in when Jerry known to his team as 'Shaky' dropped his iPod in the theatre. This had happened when he pulled back the gown and exclaimed 'Whoa look at that mutha' as the iPod dropped it was playing One U Wanna C unfortunately it dropped in between Prince's legs.
Because Hospital policy insists patient dignity is maintained at all times, it had to stay there for the duration, whilst it played through a sequence of Prince's greatest hits.
The operation took longer than usual when 'Shaky' shouted to a bunch of undergrads observing 'Oi you gotta put your stuff here' not fully understanding his English accent everyone present thought he had said 'Yo you gotta strut your stuff here' and started to bump and grind around the ops room.
A party ensued as some of the rookie interns broke out the alcohol and passed it around, anaesthetist Ramya Mufti said, 'It was a gas man'.
Eventually the iPod was retrieved when Prince was moved onto a hospital trolley and taken to a recovery room, when Prince came around he claimed to have had an out of body experience, 'Yeah man, I had that floaty feeling I felt I was straight back into 1999 driving a Little Red Corvette through this driving Purple Rain, singing I like my car but not as much as my Guitar, it was cool man'.
It was left to his ex-wife Manuela to break the news that Dr Cackhand had actually used two different sized hip joints the left one being the largest.
She said, 'I'm sorry honey, for the short term you will be leaning to the right and going around in circles' Prince is reported to have said, 'Aw man I'm all funked up'. Manuela replied, 'Baby, Everyday Is A Winding Road.'
Dr Jerry Cackhand m.r.s.a. has since been sacked by the Medical Center's Board after discovering that Dr Cackhand was in fact really named Fuller Bulchitt a former student of Musicology at London's Royal College Of Music, he had picked up his scalpel skills working part-time as a Chef in the Feng Sushi Restaurant in the Fulham Road.
