Fans of pop star Prince primed themselves for a busy morning yesterday when tickets for his intimate European tour, Spotlight: Piano & A Microphone, went on sale.

The multi-instrumentalist will play on three days, in Glasgow, London and Birmingham, on a tour which begins later this month.

The Purple Rain singer will play Glasgow Royal Concert Hall on November 27, London’s Theatre Royal Drury Lane two days later, and the Birmingham Symphony Hall on December 1.

Prince, whose repertoire includes piano-led Starfish and Coffee and How Come U Don’t Call Me Anymore, spent the early part of 2013 playing venues across England as part of his Hit and Run tour.

The concerts were often announced on the day, and saw tickets sold on the door for as little as £10.

The US star returned to the UK for a short run of dates last spring.
