PHIL KENT: For the most part, Prince was kept far away from us by his team. One day he woke up and found out he owed Warner Bros. Records an enormous amount of money, we heard maybe $10 million or more—and he freaked out and fired his lawyers, fired his managers, publicists, and business manager. Michael thought he didn’t fire us because we were doing such a good job, but Tom said, “I hate to break it to you, but I don’t think he knew we represented him.”
