Back in 2019, video went viral of Nicolas Cage giving a, shall we say spirited, performance of “Purple Rain” at a bar.  Well, whoever recorded that video and leaked it ruined EVERYTHING… because it caused Mr. Cage to give up the time-honored art form of karaoke.

During a roundtable discussion with some other actors, Nic said, quote, “Well, yeah, for me, karaoke was like therapy until someone videotaped my punk-rock version of Prince’s ‘Purple Rain’ …

“It went everywhere and I said, ‘I’m not going to karaoke anymore.'”

He added, quote, “Well, singing is therapy, I think. Absolutely.  Karaoke’s supposed to be private.  It’s like a prayer.”
