Prince concert chronology

The Piano & A Microphone Tour was the final concert tour by American recording artist Prince.[1][2] In a December 2015 interview in anticipation of the tour, he said that "I’m doing it to challenge myself, I won’t know what songs I’m going to do when I go on stage. I won’t have to, because I won’t have a band".[3]
