Prince needs a hip replacement operation, say reports.
The veteran US rocker, 49, is suffering from pain in the region every time he moves, according to the News of the World.
He will reportedly undergo surgery that involves replacing the ball and socket of the damaged hip with a titanium joint.
A source commented: "For months Prince, who always puts on the most energetic shows, has been complaining of pain every time he moves.
"He is totally crushed because he knows he will never be the same again."
The singer performed 23 nights at London's O2 arena last year to promote his recent Planet Earth album.
