Prince has reportedly snubbed Michael Jackson’s offer of a joint tour.

M.J allegedly begged Prince to perform a string of concerts with him to help Michael re-launch his career.

Prince told Michael he wasn’t interested as he already has plans for his own tour later this year.

Michael was recently overheard complaining about the snub at the Sultan of Brunei’s son’s 25th birthday party:

“Michael seemed pretty upset about it. He said he’d approached Prince to see if he would like to work together, but Prince wasn’t interested.”

Prince was concerned that the hype surrounding Michael’s comeback would over-shadow the concerts, and he wasn’t prepared to be the ‘Beat It’ singer’s support act.
