Those planning to celebrate with Prince this month will have to wait. The artist canceled the remainder of his "Prince: A Celebration" tour on Tuesday but plans to mount an even larger tour later this summer.

No reason was given for the scrubbing of the tour's remaining 16 dates, according to Prince's publicist. The tour was scheduled to run through an August 5 show in Anchorage, Alaska.

Prince played a handful of dates in the Midwest and Canada before calling off the tour (see [article id="1444863"]"Prince Live: Favorites Cut Short, No Four-Letter Words"[/article]) following his July 6 appearance at the Montreal Jazz Festival. Details concerning what his publicist characterized as a "very big" tour to be mounted later this summer were unavailable.
