On this day in music history…
In 1987, Prince released his Sign o’ the Times album. It was Prince’s first album in over four years to be credited to him as a solo artist; his previous three albums had included The Revolution in the billing. Sign o’ the Times went on to be Prince’s fifth top 10 album, peaking at number 6 on the chart.
In 1995, a man attempted to rush the stage at a Page & Plant concert in Auburn Hills, Michigan in an effort to stab Jimmy Page. Before he could get to Page, the man was subdued by security, members of the crew, and some fans. He was arrested shortly thereafter. The attacker was a former Led Zeppelin fan who claimed that their music was satanic.
