Prince and his band 3rd Eye Girl will hand out the first gong at The Brit Awards next week.

Brits organisers confirmed that the purple one will join a star-studded line-up that already includes the likes of Katy Perry, Pharrell Williams and Kylie Minogue.

The news comes as Digital Spy reported that the star will perform four more shows in the UK this week, including London's KOKO on Saturday, 16 February, and Ronnie Scott's on Monday, 17 February.

He will also appear in Manchester on Friday 21 and Saturday 22 February, however the venues are yet to be announced.

The Hit and Run tour has seen Prince play a series of intimate gigs at iconic venues including London's Electric Ballroom where he reportedly partied afterwards with Nicole Scherzinger.

A BRITs source told The Sun: “Prince is a big-name addition to this year’s show.

“We’ve seen the massive crowds he has drawn at his recent London gigs so it’s definitely going to be a highlight.”
