Prince is planning a series of spectacular shows in London this summer.
The pop legend has announced a 21-night extravaganza in the UK capital, and the shows will reportedly be the last time he ever performs his greatest hits.
The 'Purple Rain' star is charging just £31.21 for tickets to the 'Live Earth' tour, in honour of his '3121' album and Las Vegas club of the same name.
Prince told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "The last time I was here a lot of people didn't get to see me. So I tried to make it more affordable for everyone."
The tour will start on August 1st, in London's 02 Arena. The other venues have not yet been decided - and some will reportedly be kept secret until the last minute.
However, Prince is keen to include the Royal Albert Hall and The Forum, it has been claimed.
The star is set to be supported by a host of fellow performers, including Amy Winehouse and Joss Stone.
Prince, 48, is reportedly hoping Amy will join him on stage for a rendition of her hit 'Love Is A Losing Game'.
