When the tickets for rock musician Prince went on sale for his London performance, the demand was so great that an online booking site went down under the traffic. He sold the 140,000 available tickets in 20 minutes.
At the beginning of the week Prince announced that he would put on 21 concerts in London later in the year.
With the extraordinary response, organizers of the concerts added eight more to the roster, and are confident they'll all sell out extremely fast too.
The concerts are scheduled for August and September at the former Millennium Dome, now called the O2 Arena.
The entertainer's performance at last year's Super Bowl was considered among the best ever.
