Prince is in such high demand that he has added extra dates to his string of shows in the UK later this month with tickets selling out in just hours after going on sale today.
Tickets for the 55-year-old's tour up and down the country were released for sale this morning and it seems fans just can't get enough of the 'Purple Rain' hitmaker despite the fact he toured here earlier this year, with tickets getting snapped up not long after they were made available.

Due to popular demand, Prince will now play another date in Manchester on May 17 while he will also perform a second show in Birmingham on May 19.

@egansmind mused: "Bloody Hell #Prince tickets for the first Birmingham gig sold out in 3 minutes @PrincePartyUK So glad I got mine. Amazing."
