Prince Halts Music for Bible Study

prince.jpg LONDON, England (Reuters) — U.S. rock star Prince will play 21 concerts in London later this year and plans to take time off music to study the Bible, he announced on Tuesday.

The innovative funk artist, who created such groundbreaking works as 1984’s “Purple Rain” and 1987’s “Sign O’ The Times” and sold an estimated 80 million albums, made a brief appearance in the city to announce the gigs, beginning August 1.

Outside Organisation, a PR company helping to publicize the tour, said in a statement that Prince would be performing his greatest hits “for the very last time”, but the artist did not confirm the claim.

Wearing dark shades, a high-collared purple shirt and cream suit, Prince explained why his only appearances in Europe this year would take place in London.
