There was a lot of excitement last week when it was announced that Prince was to embark on a stripped-back tour of Europe, beginning in just a few days.

However, in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Paris, the Purple One has cancelled the 'Prince Spotlight: A Piano and a Microphone' tour, which was set to hit 16 cities over four weeks, including two dates at Paris's Garnier Opera House next month.

He tweeted a link to the cancellation of his Vienna show - which was scheduled to be the first on the tour on November 21st - and his French production company later released a statement saying "Due to the tragic events in Paris, the tour promoter has decided to postpone the upcoming European tour until further notice.”
