Prince has revealed that he will no longer be performing sexy dance routines on stage or writing raunchy lyrics.

Speaking to USA Today, the popstar said he does not want to offend his fans, who have now grown up and have children.

He added that he should be sensitive to the feelings of people who see his shows and buy his records, so can no longer incorporate overtly sexual references into his act.

"I did the Dirty Mind tour and pushed that envelope off the table. What I didn't do, Madonna finished. I don't want to go back. You have to get out of your own way," he said.

The singer added that being a Jehovah's Witness and reading the Bible also contributed to his decision.

"That's another way faith has changed me," he remarked.
