Prince has reportedly cancelled his upcoming UK and European stripped-back piano tour in the wake of the Paris terror attacks on Friday 13 November. 

Last week saw ISIS terrorists strike at a number of locations in Paris, including an Eagles Of Death Metal gig at the Paris Bataclan where 120 people were killed. A state of alert was issued across Paris, before the likes of U2, Foo Fighters and Deftones all cancelled shows in France and Europe. 

Prince was due to play a run of dates starting at the end of this month as part of his 'Piano & A Microphone' tour. He then delayed the sale of tickets, to try and figure out a way to stop them falling into the hands of touts

He has since taken to Twitter to share a link to his production company, with a message which reads: "Due to the tragic events in Paris, the tour promoter has decided to postpone the upcoming European tour until further notice.”

Check back for updates on when the dates will be rearranged to. 

Yesterday, The Bataclan venue issued a statement after the attacks, telling the world "no words can express the level of sadness we feel. Our thoughts go to the victims, to those injured and to their loved ones."
