Prince to star at the o2

By admin on May 9, 2007 12:00 AM

POP megastar Prince is to make his only European appearance this year with 21 shows in London - beginning in Docklands.
The singer will begin his purple reign with seven nights at the O2 Arena (formerly the Dome).
Tickets will cost just #31.21, a reference to his 3121 album. And everyone who gets their hands on a ticket will get a free copy of his new album - a move the star dubbed his own version of "direct marketing".

The rest of the 21 Nights In London tour will include some secret club gigs.
Speaking at a launch event in London, Prince declared himself a fan of Amy Winehouse and said he hoped she would join him on stage.
He has prepared 150 songs and will play a selection at each show - likely to include his hits Purple Rain, When Doves Cry and Kiss.
The tour, which begins on August 1, will be Prince's only appearance in Europe this year.
Explaining why he chose the UK, he said: "I love London. I've had some of my favourite shows here."
Of the low ticket prices, he said: "Last time I was here a lot of people didn't get to see me so we are trying to make it affordable for everybody. That's why we are doing an extended stay."
This will be the first time he has played a UK arena in over a decade.
