Prince has taken to Twitter to speak out after fans were surprised that tickets to his UK tour did not go on sale this morning - explaining that they've been postponed due to touts.
His Royal Badness delighted fans when he announced details of his stripped-back 'Prince - A Piano & A Microphone' tour hitting Birmingham, London and Glasgow later this month.
Tickets were due to go on sale at 10am this morning, but then it was announced that the on-sale date had been postponed, with sources providing no reason for why.
However, Prince has now gone online to suggest that it has been pushed back for him to find more ways to avoid tickets falling into the hands of touts:

...cheaper to fly to MPLS get accomodation & go to a Paisley Park show. Better overall experience too!
