“Due to the tragic events in Paris, the tour promoter has decided to postpone the upcoming European tour until further notice,” his website read.

Prince first announced the tour last week. Citing the need for a challenge, he had chosen to go on tour without a band; the shows would simply be him playing the piano and singing.
