PRINCE'S OSCAR PARTY PHOTOS| PRINCE TO UNDERGO HIP REPLACEMENT SURGERY

The legendary pop star Prince (born Prince Rogers Nelson, 49) will be undergoing hip replacement surgery but put his health worries aside to host a special exclusive post-Oscar-party on Sunday night.

Prince's post-Academy Awards bash was the place to be. 

Sanaa Lathan, Sean "Diddy" Combs, Eva Longoria-Parker, Christina Milian, Mary J Blige and Rosario Dawson are some of the A-list celebrities that were there.

He hosted a great after-party event but that doesn't mean he was partying like it was 1999 or doing his famous splits. The Purple Rain singer, well known for his killer dance moves, has been experiencing discomfort in his hips and joints. Britain's Daily Mail newspaper listed the National Enquirer as their source and reports:

"He used to wear high-heeled boots everyday and doctors told him that may have contributed to his condition. Over the years he has battered his body so much that his joints, especially his hips, are causing him a lot of discomfort."

Additionally, another source told the National Enquirer:

"Over time his condition will get worse and he'll have to have the surgery. He's causing more damage by continuing to walk."

Showbizspy reports Prince is keeping the surgery under wraps and reportedly will be checking into a private hospital for treatment.  The surgery will involve removing the ball and socket of Prince's damaged hip and replacing it with a titanium joint. He has reportedly cleared his schedule for two months to allow him time to recover from the operation.
