Prince Prepping ‘Naked’ Piano Tour

Prince is ready to get “naked” and “pure” on stage, but it’s not what you think.

Legendary musician Prince has announced a new piano and microphone only tour to close out 2015.

Dr. Funkenberry says the tour will start November 21 in Vienna and run for about a month.

“The tour which will be making various stops across Europe will feature intimate, solo Prince performances where he only yields a piano and microphone”.

Explaining why he wanted to do the tour, Prince was quoted in Spanish as saying: “For starters, it’s a challenge”.

The dates with 3rdeyegirl were celebrated for their highly-charged guitar-orientated histrionics so any piano-only gigs would serve as stark contrast to those of recent times. “You can see exactly what you get”, reads a translation of El Pais’s quote from Prince.

The Purple Rain star is due to play at four venues in the United Kingdom – Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool and London – according to reports. You have to try new things.

That being said, El País’ story notes that 12 hours after Prince broke the news, an email from his camp said the dates were not set in stone, but were rather “proposals”.

He will also perform in Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Spain and Switzerland, it said.
