Prince plays two insane hit-packed shows at London's Roundhouse
Purple One & 3RDEYEGIRL dazzle in the capital
He's not doing festivals - this is your chance: Despite rumours of a Glasto slot (nope - that went to Metallica) and an appearance at Coachella (didn't happen), it seems unlikely that The Purple One will be playing in a muddy field any time soon. Unless he performs a surprise show at one of Europe's big events, his stadium shows are your only chance to get down with his royal badness.

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
