Prince is reportedly planning a UK tour but, unlike the last time he played in the UK, he's looking at more intimate venues.
The star previously performed at London's O2 Arena as part of a 21 show residency at the venue, but this time he has plans to get up close and personal with his fans - and possibly in some quirkier places.
A source told The Sun, "Prince has gone back to basics this year, playing in front of 300 people at the SXSW festival in Texas. He’s now on a US tour of small club shows and wants to do something similar in the UK later in the year.
"It’s still to be decided if he’ll stay at one small venue and play 20 or more gigs or split his time between a few places around the country. Prince has asked his team to find unusual venues his fans wouldn’t expect him to play."

Prince is currently on a tour of the US, and is performing two shows every day - one early and one late - which is contributing to a total of 28 performances between April and May.
He also has five shows announced in Europe - although none of them are in the UK. He'll play three shows at the Montreux Jazz Festival on July 13,14 and 15, and in August he'll play two more shows, one in Stockholm on August 4 and on in Skanderborg, Denmark on August 7.
