Following various rumours, Prince has confirmed his intent to play a series of stripped-back gigs across the UK.

Dubbed Spotlight… Piano & A Microphone, Prince will hit three cities later this month , with a set consisting of just himself and his piano – his 3RDEYEGIRL band are not likely to make an appearance.

All cities will see the Purple Rain icon perform two shows on the same day – a matinee plus a further set later that evening.

Tickets for the tour go onsale this coming Friday (13th November) direct from Ticketmaster UK. Head over here for more info, and check the full schedule below:
