Lights Out Los Angeles - Recording artist Prince has shut down his online music club, which offered fans exclusive access to unreleased music and early concert ticket sales, Billboard reported. Launched in 2001, the NPG Music Club offered a $100 annual membership that included special features like access to soundchecks at Prince concerts, and invites to post-concert parties. After complaints about the ticketing section of the site, Prince lowered the membership costs, to $2.50 per month or $25 per year. "In its current form, there is a feeling that the NPGMC has gone as far as it can go," reads a statement on the site. "Has the time come to once again make a leap of faith and begin anew? These are questions we in the NPG need to answer. In doing so, we have decided to put the club on hiatus until further notice."
