Prince announces UK arena tour for May 2014 - tickets
The Purple One will be returning in May
Beck: The musician has been dubbed "The White Prince". We're not sure if this is a wholly accurate observation, but it's clear The Purple One has influenced Beck, especially on his Midnite Vultures record - track 'Debra' was inspired by Prince's classic song 'Raspberry Beret'.

Get ready to go crazy once again, as Prince has announced his return to the UK - with four new shows revealed for May this year. Full dates and details are below.
Earlier today, The Guardian exclusively announced that the Purple One will be playing in Birmingham, Manchester and Leeds.
Then, the full four dates were confirmed, with a statement reading: "Following a series of acclaimed, spontaneous and intimate UK shows earlier this year Prince will headline his first regional UK arena dates since 1995. These exclusive arena shows with 3RDEYEGIRL in Birmingham, Manchester, Glasgow and Leeds are his first since his sold out residency at The O2 London in 2007.
"This will be the first time Prince has ever performed in Leeds and is also the first time Prince has headlined a show in Birmingham and Glasgow in 19 years. His Manchester show follows two nights at the Academy in February."
Full dates of Prince's UK tour are below. Tickets go on sale at 12pm on Friday 2nd May. For more information visit Gigwise gig tickets.
