WE CAN'T TELL you what time The Artist Formerly Known as Prince plays Wednesday at the Hampton University Convocation Center. Or how much the show costs. That was being worked out when Preview went to press. But we know how you can find out: Call (757) 728-6800. If His Purple Majesty does perform - he's on a 13-city mini-tour - it will be the first time around here since 1993. Word is he picked H.U. because of its historic Emancipation Oak, the tree where the Emancipation Proclamation was read to the slaves. Think it has something to do with his latest release, the three-CD set ``Emancipation''? Nah. ILLUSTRATION: Photo
