Pop music: Prince at the Forum

This month, Prince phoned in to “Lopez Tonight” to announce that he would be taking over the Forum for a 21-night residency that would begin April 14 — certainly causing a panic for fans who had already committed to Coachella. Prince previously played successful residencies in the New York area in December and January, which received tremendous acclaim each night. The Forum, 3900 W. Manchester Blvd., Inglewood. Thu.-Fri. and various dates. $25-$205. Ticketmaster.com
