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.”
