Musicians – from Stevie Wonder to Christina Aquilera – will join together in St. Paul to perform a family-sanctioned Prince tribute concert.
“The family is extremely excited to provide an opportunity for the world to participate in the tribute for our brother Prince,” said Prince’s sister Sharon Nelson.
The lineup includes Chaka Khan, John Mayer, Tori Kelly, Anita Baker, Doug E. Fresh, Luke James, Bilal and Mint Condition. Prince’s inner circle will be represented by Morris Day & The Time, Judith Hill and Liv Warfield. The New Power Generation led by Morris Hayes, along with members of 3RDEYEGIRL, also will perform.
“It’s an all-star mix of classic and new artists, Prince-inspired as well as Prince family-type artists,” said organizer L. Londell McMillan, a longtime attorney for the late superstar.
“Many fans and friends all over the world wanted to have the chance to honor, memorialize and celebrate this incredible man,” added McMillan. “We’re thrilled we were able to make this happen.”
“The Official Prince Tribute” will be held on October 13th. Tickets for the tribute go on sale via Ticketmaster on Monday, September 19th at 10 a.m. CST.
