Okay, everybody just calm down a minute. We just need a moment to collect our thoughts and keep from hyperventilating, alright? Now, don’t freak out or anything, but Prince is touring Australia this month.

Yes, you actually read that right. Prince, the legendary pop, rock, and funk star behind more classic hits than we can count has been confirmed as returning to Australia this month for what he’s dubbed the Piano & A Microphone Tour.

Details at the moment are scant, with promoter Dainty Group promising “all details announced soon”. All we know is that he will be playing shows in Australia and New Zealand at some point in February 2016 – that’s this month!

Judging by the name of the tour — Piano & A Microphone — the shows may involve just the man himself sitting behind a piano, but nothing has yet been confirmed. Just that he’s coming! Stay tuned to Tone Deaf for more details as they emerge.

UPDATE: Tour dates have now been announced! Check below.
