When:

Short story:

Approaching the end of his Purple Rain tour, Prince issues a statement that he is about to stop live performances.

Full article:

Steve Fargnoli (manager) : Prince is withdrawing from the live performance scene for an indefinite period of time. Prince’s concert April 7 at Miami’s Orange Bowl will be his last performance for an indeterminate number of years. I asked Prince what he planned to do. He told me, ‘I’m going to look for the ladder.’ I asked him what that meant. All he said was ‘Sometimes it snows in April.’

Prince : I was doing the seventy-fifth Purple Rain show, doing the same thing over and over. And I just lost it… I knew I had to get away from all that. I couldn’t play the game.
