Much to everyone's excitement, because not a lot really happens in Croydon, it was recently confirmed the one and only Prince would be announcing his UK tour dates from a flat in the South London borough today (February 4).
Bit weird, right? Well, it makes more sense than you think, because The Purple One is set to be making his important announcement from the house of Croydon native and popular singer Lianne La Havas' own flat.
Twitter users have since gone absolutely mad with fake Prince spottings, fantasies about him visiting the local shopping mall, the Whitgift Centre, and plans to track down Havas' house and demand to meet The Purple One.
However, it seems Croydon'ers (definitely a real word) may be getting a bit excited for nothing. As Twitter users are starting to point out, whilst Havas hails from Croydon, she doesn't actually live there - reports claim she resides in east London, specifically Leyton (E10, fact fans).
We don't really know WHAT to believe anymore - should we catch the 55 bus to Leyton, or jump on the Overground to Croydon? Check out the conflicting Twitter reports for yourself below.

@Xfm I've just seen Prince in plumb centre croydon buying a 22mm pipe slice. He said he's gotta cut out an air seperator in Selhurst.

IN THE BLUE CORNER: "Nope, he's in Leyton"
So from what I read, PRINCE isn't in Croydon, he's in Leyton E10 for his special announcement!

Furthermore, according to the Croydon Advertiser, Havas does indeed now live in east London. So that settles it really. Everyone to Leyton, NOW.
