the viking theme song makes me think prince went favre before favre went favre when he threw that last pass.
Justme says on 24/Dec/09
Click Here looks kinda short to me. Tiger Woods is supposedly 6'1 which seems accurate therefore seeing this picture I would assume Prince is a whole foot or even more less than Tiger. I'd guess prince is truly around 4'11 or 5' nowadays anyways.
TRS says on 7/Dec/09
He seems to be 5'3" but then again he might be shorter. He wears those 5" shoes LOL ..

I think 5'2" - 5'3" is right.
minneapolis guy says on 25/Oct/09
I had an acquaintance who dated him in the mid 80's. I went to a couple of parties that he also attended. Stood right next to him. He, indeed, is 5'2".
Disproportionately large head. Also, he's extremely shy & quiet and has the most beautiful, even toned, creamy skin I've ever seen on a guy (and no, he doesn't wear foundation - only a little eyeliner!)
lori says on 11/Feb/09
I'm 5'3. I stood by his wax figure at madame toussands in vegas, and he was a little shorter than me. When I looked down he was wearing the boots.I would say definitely under 5 ft w/out shoes...probably 4'11. However, what stood out to me was not his height, but how tiny he was in general...very thin limbs. But, at the end of the day, we are all unique,and he is an incredible artist who is loved world-wide and he will always be my favorite.
kieran says on 21/Dec/08
the fact that he played professional basketball is what most impresses me about him
J says on 15/Sep/08
There were two guitar heavy projects. One was called the Undertaker which was given away in GUitar Player Magazine back in 94 or 95. He had an unrealeased project called the Rebels back in the early 80's along with Dez Dickerson.
kali says on 10/Sep/08
i read in something that the reason he is short is because he was traumatized as a child because something flooded and he stopped producing a growth hormone. i read something about that and it can actually happen
Shortie says on 1/Aug/08
I am 4ft 11in and shoot, it don't matter to me how tall Prince is. He has such a talent that can blow most people away! He is so mysterious! I've been a fan for years. Yeah, he's different, but why be so normal? I would LOVE to meet him! I'm sure I'd flip out though. Everyone's entitled to their opinions. Whether you like short, tall, dark, thin, chubby people, God made us all and we need to at least respect each other.
runt says on 31/May/08
I'm not sure which project that is. The outside projects I can think of are New Power Generation, Vanity 6, Appollonia 6, The Revolution, Wendy and Lisa, The Family, Mazarati, Tamar, Madhouse, 94 East, and of course The Time. And he wrote for acts like Sheila E., Sheena Easton, Sinead O'connor, Jill Jones, Candy Dulfer, The Bangles, Stevie Nicks. Maybe you're referring to something specifically 90's. I'm not sure about his 90's stuff.
runt says on 30/May/08
I liked "Around The World In a Day" too, and it produced some popular stuff like "Rasberry Beret", "Pop Life", "America". Its just that some ppl couldn't understand the timing. They were looking for a follow up to "Purple Rain" and considered this to be a very radical turn in a different direction. It was quality work that some labeled as "pop art" which is a far cry from the previous album.
runt says on 28/May/08
His best work were the albums "For You"'78, "Prince"'79,"Dirty Mind"'80,"Controversy"'81,"1999"'82,"Purple Rain"'83,"Parade"'86, "Sign of the Times"'87, "Batdance"'89 and various party jams that were released as only singles like "Erotic City". Also some of the songs he wrote for other artists were better than stuff he released for himself (and definitely more commercial). And he is the leader of the Minneapolis Sound which even Janet Jackson is an offshoot of (from '86 to '92) because her writers were Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. And though I think Morris Day is underrated, his ghost writer for his group The Time was Prince who used the names "Alexander Nevermind" and "Jamie Starr". His misses in the '80's were only "Around The World In a Day"'85 and "Lovesexy"'88
Bettina says on 22/May/08
I have been a Prince fan since the early eighties and have always been a loyal fan of his and that will never ever change. i love him and do not care one jot about how tall or small he is. Who gives a f... anyways? It's his massive talent that is important to me. He is a musical genius and has always been way ahead of his time with his music but most ignorant people do not get that and just class him as a weirdo or gay or soemthing else. Ignorance is bliss they say.... well, not in this case. Just let him get on with his life and as long as he is happy doing what he does and doesn't hurt anybody. he will always be my favourite artist in the whole world and my favourite song of all times is and always will be'PURPLE RAIN'. Never has there been a better song which has moved me to tears more than that song and to this day I listen to it everyday if I can. Especially in my car. So, tall, short, who cares? I love Prince!!!
MJlover says on 4/May/08
Yeah, Prince is not that tall, but who cares, right? Like 'Mr. P' said: He didn't ask to be small.
Anonymous says on 16/Mar/08
my mom's ex coworker's/still very good friends say that he is not even 5'0. they met him at a concert they went to (identical twins) and they are 5'1. They said he was a lil shorter than them and they were wearing sneakers. He wears platforms..you do the math LMAO
Marty J says on 14/Mar/08
At least he isn't afraid to make fun of his own height. Hence the lyric from the song 'Pink Cashemere': "wontcha Come on back to your little man"!
Mr. P says on 13/Jan/08
I'm 6'3". I don't judge a man by how tall he is. I've known guys who were 6'6" or bigger and they were whining pansies. Prince didn't ask to be small. A big so what?
ragamufn says on 26/Dec/07
Prince is 5'2 and 115-120lbs. He is vegan and very intelligent n evrythng he does. His favorite color is purple. I have met him a few times.
Some dude says on 17/Dec/07
Yeah, Prince!

I'm 5'2 and I use a Fender Jazz Bass,and I really look small when I play it. It's more than half my height!
TJ says on 5/Nov/07
Quite surprised he's even 5'2. Lots of 4'11 listings in the 80s.
voltra says on 4/Nov/07
he is short(5'3) but he is the richest singer with lot of money and a lot of tall(above 6'4) bodyguard.
Man of Steel says on 19/Oct/07
Anthony, Your comment is quite offensive regarding Prince's religion! Just because you don't know anything about it, you want to label it as weird, which is very ignorant on your part. Prince became a Jehovah's Witness only in recent years! He's been a musician since the 70's. And no, it is not agaist his religion to take pictures with fans!
Marianne Hylton says on 20/Sep/07
I couldn't believe how insanely small this guy was when I saw him recently at the O2 arena during his Earth Tour. You have to see him up close to realise just how tiny he is!
Q Ahmed says on 4/Aug/07
i met Prince in London. He is about 4"11 ..... but as they say... his presence is larger than life!
Pete says on 3/Aug/07
leung, prince has a few custom made but also a horner original since the early years which is normal size. kids play with regular guitars.
Leung says on 3/Aug/07
Here's an interest tidbit: Prince gets custom-made guitars which are a lot smaller because standard size guitar is too big for him and makes him look like a midget.
Turner J. says on 2/Aug/07
My mother met the artist backstage at a festival in the late 70s, they spent about 15 minutes talking whilst she prepared the costumes for the next performance. He's really nice and soft spoken, and not haughty in the least, but this crap about 5'2" is just that - crap. He took off his shoes about a metre away from my mother, and she says he went from her height (5'3.5") to no more than 4'11" - for sure. Her sister (my aunt) is 4'11" so my mother knows what someone that size looks like by heart - they were the exact same height.
redrum says on 7/Jun/07
Eddie Murphy once commented that Prince is 5-7 in his highest heels. Must be 6" pumps?
Owen says on 7/Jun/07
In 1999, Prince, his bodyguards, and two amazing hotties ran into us in a club in Paris. Packed dance floor, and they parted us like the Dead Sea. My friend, who is 5' 3" (160 cm) was with me, and she was taller than Prince. I couldn't see if was wearing platforms, but there's no way he's taller than five feet (152.4 cm).
D. Ray Morton says on 22/May/07
He won't pose with you, but he'll come knocking at your front door.
Anthony says on 22/May/07
This man seriously can't pose because of his religion? Than he shouldn't have become a musician in the first place. He should'e known what he would be subjected to. Jehova's Witnesses are generally pretty weird anyway, not to offend.

5'2 looks right for his height?
D. Ray Morton says on 22/May/07
Oh yeah, that's right. Rainbow Children. How could I forget?
D. Ray Morton says on 22/May/07
I thought his religion was funk.
Nicky says on 8/Mar/07
He is 1,56cm dont know exactly in ft.Iam a devoted fan,he is a tiny person with a talent of the empire state size.so WGAF
THE Henry Experience says on 25/Feb/07
I met Prince at a Rockchester NY show, he was about 5' even. He also said laughing that he was an "anal baby...". What does that mean please?

Adrienne says on 16/Nov/06
In the video, "U Got The Look" he looked like he was about 3 or 4 inches taller than Sheena Easton who's supposedly 5' even. (They both looked like they were wearing high heeled boots in the video).
Brad says on 4/Nov/06
Impossible to really tell...he wears 70's shoes with a lift in them.
Anonymous says on 4/Oct/06
Ive spoken 2 Prince's ex-girlfriend(no lie)~Robin Power~and she says he is 5'3...dont believe me...who cares,I mean its just an inch away from the height they r giving...
Brad says on 10/Sep/06
He does wear funky footwear with heels.
Brad says on 3/Sep/06
5' 2" is about right. 4' 11" is Brenda Lee stuff, that's tiny.
Morgan says on 1/Sep/06
Prince Rodgers Nelson is 5'2" according to his bio page. However, I photographed Prince by in the 80's. When I met him backstage he came to my shoulder right a little higher than where my mother comes to and she's only 4'11". He is a very short man. He had on 6" heels then. I believe he is really about 4'11".
Brad says on 14/Aug/06
He wasn't like at his regular show, he was talking to the crowd and like it was his house. Club called The Church.
raj says on 14/Aug/06
brad, what u mean by that?
Brad says on 14/Aug/06
I saw him at a club jam the night away with Chaka Khan in Denver in the early morning hours after his own show once. He sure wasn't shy.

Glen, I work for Click Here as their gallery moderator - we have the largest gallery of its kind online, and I'd really love to hear from you regarding the photos you mention below. Please e-mail me so we may talk: bananacologne@yahoo.com
J. says on 20/Apr/06
No, that's not bullshit. I found that out straight from a one-tme Paisley Park employee not an internet source. I can even give you specific stories on Prince if you want to dare challenge my credibility. :-)
J. says on 19/Apr/06
Why shouldn't they, Frank2? Prince actually has one of the most loyal fanbases that an artist of his stature (no pun attended) can have.
Frank2 says on 19/Apr/06
Why would anyone want to have a picture taken with him?
Frank2 says on 18/Apr/06
Is he that tall?
raj says on 18/Apr/06
GLEN, have u met him? any pics?
Parker says on 15/Apr/06
Carmen Electra was on Jonathan Ross last night in the UK, and confirmed her height at 5'2 1/2, but stated Prince 'was a bit taller'
hek says on 1/Apr/06
he made me some pancakes after a bball game and i would say he was about 5 feeet
MS.AROD3 says on 26/Dec/05
I ran into prince at a hole in the wall restaurant in hollywood "Floriditas",and I must say he is super tiny and has the most beautiful flawless skin I have ever seen in a man!!
Ellectrika says on 23/Sep/05
I've met Prince on 2 occassions and he is incredibly tiny and petite. Like a frail child.

He wears 5" high heels too and has tiny.

Very small but musically gifted man!!

Nick says on 23/Jun/05
He wears 3 inch heels so it's hard to tell. Seems anywhere between 5ft and 5ft 3 have been suggested.
