Last night, February 2, Prince & 3RDEYEGIRL played a charity show at the KOKO in support of UK charity Autism Rocks.
Prince and band (guitarist Donna Grantis, bassist Ida Nielsen and drummer Hannah Ford-Welton) revisited the scene of one of his 2014 'Hit and Run' shows to play a greatest hits collection which received a rapturous response from all in attendance.
The legend and his band arrived from America only yesterday especially for the Autism Rocks charity show. They kicked things off at 22:00 with Purple Rain and continued to play for over two hours. The night included performances of Controversy, Lets Go Crazy, U Got The Look,1999, Nothing Compares 2 U and Kiss. Also, Liv Warfield featured during a rendition of Paloma Faith's Only Love Can Hurt Like This.
Prince continued to churn out the hits with When Doves Cry, Sign of the Times, Hot Thing and Love Bizarre.
However, the new material also made an appearance with performances of The Breakdown from 'ART OFFICIAL AGE' and the title track of the 3RDEYEGIRL album 'PLECTRUMELECTRUM'.
