Like many, I have been wondering when Prince was going to re-emerge, well the answer is very soon and right here in Melbourne.

The master of funk, pop and rock, will perform at Rod Laver Arena on October 21.

And in a coup for fans, 45-year-old Prince will perform his greatest hits before retiring those songs forever.

Prince last toured Australia in 1992, playing sell-out shows at the then National Tennis Centre and a secret gig at The Palace.

"When I'm on stage, the audience has come into my room," he said at the time. "What I want to do is create excitement and provoke people as much as I can."

"Prince is renowned for doing everything suddenly and, in classic style, we will have Prince here very soon. He has committed to doing all the hits, so we are in for a long show of Prince classics."

"Prince will perform his hits for the last time," Dainty confirmed.

His decision to return to the spotlight as Prince, and perform the hits, is a landmark. He has spent the past decade in the commercial and critical wilderness.

Prince tickets will go on sale on September 30.
