Prince and 3RDEYEGIRL returned to London with their Hit And Run Tour Part II, by playing two hit-packed shows at the Roundhouse last night (Wednesday 4 June, 2014).
Tickets to His Royal Badness' teatime and evening shows sold in just minutes, with fans queuing around the block from the early evening to get a good spot from the Purple One.
What followed was two shows that showed Prince on typically brilliant form - especially due to the rare run of consecutive hits - including '1999', 'Little Red Corvette', 'Take Me With U', 'Raspberry Beret', 'Controversy', 'Let's Go Crazy', 'Guitar', 'Sign Of The Times' and many more, along with well-received new material to upcoming new album, Plectrum Electrum.
He even released purple balloons at the end, and gave his guitar to the crowd.
Fans took to Twitter to share their joy at the shows, as well as photos and footage:
Prince and @3RDEYEGIRL at The Roundhouse was one of the best gigs I've ever seen. Purple Rain + Full band + 8min guitar solo = Tears

He even released purple balloons into the crowd at the end. That just completely blew my mind. For so many reasons. @3RDEYEGIRL
