Photographer reveals Prince's shy side

Rex Features

Music superstar Prince has a solitary and shy side to his personality, it has been claimed.

Photographer Randee St Nicholas followed the 'Purple Rain' singer at his 21 sell-out O2 Arena concerts and revealed that he spends a lot of time alone.

St Nicholas, who is releasing a book on Prince, also commented that he is "incredibly intellectual" and has a "great sense of humour".

"He's social but I think he is shy. If he knows you and has something to say, he'll talk to you for hours. If he doesn't know you he's shy," he said.

"When you see this book you will see how on his own he was. It was a very solitary time when he was here in London."
