That's a very common practice nowadays. I hate going to see a show and catch the singer glancing down at the prompter. Jeez, if you forget the words, just ad lib something or flub it outright - it adds to the fun. I saw Jerry Garcia do this probably 50 times and it was always funny.

I used to sing a two hour set at a local bar. It gets very hard sometimes to remember lyrics to songs. I call them brain farts. I have sung the last verse first, first last, or the same verse twice in a row. I even have sung verses from another song in the middle of a song. Very few folks noticed and if they did they just laughed or smiled. I never stopped to say I forgot the "f'ing lyrics!
