here ya go!

POP MUSICIAN Prince is to play Croke Park in June, one of only three European gigs he is doing this summer. The announcement that he is to play the venue on June 16th will be made today.

Prince will be billing the gig as the last chance for his fans to hear his greatest hits live. His only other European shows are scheduled for Milan and Paris.

MCD promoter Denis Desmond secured Prince for Croke Park having spoken to the singer's management during Prince's 21-date stretch at London's O2 arena last summer.

Prince has been through many changes of musical style, image and even of name (he used to be known as "the artist formerly known as Prince") since he first made an international breakthrough with his album 1999 in 1982. He went on to become one of the biggest artists of the 1980s with albums such as Sign O' The Times and Purple Rain.

He has since had well- publicised rows with his record companies in which he accused them of treating him like a slave. His 2004 US tour was the highest-grossing that year and his appearance at the half-time NFL Super Bowl last year was regarded as one of the best of his career.

Tickets, priced at €66.50 each, will go on sale from Wednesday, March 5th, on ticketmaster.ie and at Ticketmaster outlets

Hello there stranger. I can't do the Dublin gig as it's on a Monday so fingers crossed that Paris or Milan at a push will be over a weekend. I'm definitely up for Paris if it's on a weekend.

Howdi! Haven't heard anything yet. I've just booked a flight to Dublin (it was so cheap it would have been rude not to!).

I'm hoping Paris will be the weekend after. Eurostar tickets are averaging £59 return at the moment.
