THIS IS JUST A RUMOUR, please ignore... "Seatwave: Prince will perform two dates in Hyde Park this Summer. Details to follow #princewatch"

Prince kicked off his London tour last week with an intimate press conference in the flat of Lianne LaHavas , 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 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."
