Nice--a show with Sheila & Morris.

Interesting...2 days after the planned MPLS tribute show

Sure wish Sheila E was going to be in MPLS

Hope they expand this to other cities...

So she's doing this but can't make the official family tribute show? Weird.

I've been hearing rumors that the official family tribute show is not going to happen. One person even told me that a member of The Revolution told them that the show was just a "rumor" and was not going to happen. Also, several people have said that they called the U. S. Bank Stadium asking for booking details, only to be told that there is no concert scheduled for October 13. That there is no signed contract for a Prince Tribute Concert. At first, I dismissed this notion, but now, I'm starting to wonder. What a mess...

And you think his family should be in charge of his estate. What family. Did prince make up with his sister? Cuz they had fallen out at some point.Hopefully they had, And his legacy will be honored. And doesn't just become about making as much money as possible for all concerned

Like I said, it's a mess. This is why I will NEVER believe that Prince died without a will. I don't know how it happened, but SOMEHOW his estate plan has been quashed. And it certainly seems that Sheila E. is now working directly against them.

This is not optional. As long as there is no known will, Minnesota law clearly stipulates the order of inheritance. I've made peace with this fact. Right now, I just want to see Prince's legacy preserved in a manner befitting his stature.

And, Prince does not deserve this chaos and uncertainty surrounding the announced tribute concert, which is happening almost six months after his passing. He would be appalled. It is really heartbreaking.

Bad taste with the "Discount Drug Mart" ad at the bottom of the tribute..

Because his own shows were always so well planned

Unless this is all just publicity for her? Though the impression I get is his death hit her hard. Maybe that would have happened regardless if they reconciled or not? [Edited 9/9/16 10:10am]

I got my tickets for Cleveland! Second row.

I thought I would never buy into this but it appears this will be the only tribute I will get from someone connected to P. So I pushed the button and got the tickets.

Sheila was at both family memorials so I dont think there was a problem with P's family??

Maybe something happened between Sheila and the family after the memorials?

I dunno.

Whats worrying me is that not one member of his family have come out and defended Prince against some of these drug allegations, and so forth. They are very quiet. And from what i have read about. He wasn't particularly close with any member of his family that's left. I hope i am wrong, i really do. But i am not very confident that Princes best interests are going to be served. Hence the distance forming from some bandmembers and the like away from the Estate. Its all a waiting game at this point. I am praying it will turn out fine. Not having a large funeral for him was a big mistake and could have brought some closure to fans around the world.

Now, this is interesting. If this is true, what a fiasco since the concert has already been officially announced. They even announced a few acts that would supposedly be there. It is strange that more details haven't been announced along with ticket prices and info. After all, this is a doggone stadium, not a small club or arena. Even Prince didn't announce last minute hitnrun concerts in stadiums--not that I remember anyway...

But we're not dealing with Prince anymore.

Exactly.

That was exactly what I was thinking. Let's face it, it's not like Prince's career was always perfectly, neatly organized. There was plenty of chaos and disorder.

Yet, his concerts seemed to always sell out within hours. Go figure.
