The venue then confirmed the news - adding that tickets will be £70 per person:
Prince kicked off his London tour last week with an intimate press conference in the flat of Lianne LaHavas yesterday (Tuesday 4 February), before he played a surprise 'open soundcheck' press gig at Camden's Electric Ballroom, before returning to play two shows for fans the following night.
The BBC reports that His Royal Badness told the press conference that the shows with his new band, 3rdEyeGirl, would be cheap for fans.
"We want to charge about $10 a ticket," he said. "This is a new band, people are getting something new."
He also said that he wouldn't be playing in huge venues like the O2 as he did with his residency back in 2007.
"That was a different time, this is a different band," said Prince, adding that they would "work our way up, if people like us, to bigger venues".
He continued: "We're going to be here until people don't want to hear us anymore."
