Personal life
Until recently, Prydz had only played shows in and around Europe as he has a fear of flying. In December 2008, Prydz was forced to cancel several dates in Australia and New Zealand after panic attacks prevented him from boarding the outbound flight.[3]
On Armin van Buuren's radio show "A State of Trance" in February 2011, it was announced that Prydz recently became a father.
EPIC Event
His debut live show called "EPIC / Eric Prydz in Concert" was held on April 2, 2011 at the O2 Brixton Academy in London where he played most of his own production, as well as unfinished and upcoming tracks. It's already announced that his second live "EPIC" performance will take place at Alexandra Palace on 26th November.
Discography
Albums
Since 2005, Prydz has been working on an artist album.[4] The first version of the album was originally planned for release in 2007, but after complications with the record label, he decided to cancel the release. In late 2009, Prydz told followers on his Facebook and Twitter accounts that his album had been completed under the Pryda recordings and was slated for a 2011 release.
