TICKETS to see Prince at Birmingham's LG Arena were snapped up swiftly when they went on sale at midday today (Friday) - prompting concert bosses to add another date.

The Purple Rain singer will take to the stage at the LG Arena on Thursday May 15 - and a second outing, on Monday May 19, has now been added to meet demand.

It will be the first time the star has performed in Birmingham in 19 years.

Prince is also performing at arenas in Leeds, Manchester and Glasgow with 3RDEYEGIRL this month.
