Prince himself on the other hand is still huge - just look at the reception he gets every time he makes a public appearance.

And always will b................

Very cool news

Since there is the Stevie tribute I imagine he'll participate in that but I think he's got something special planned and it's not just presenting an award.

Maybe it is in facx a Revolution Reunion to (finally) promote the anniversary. As many of mentioned the entire crew is been awfully quiet since you left social media

Sure hope whatever it is doesn't disappoint but this is P so u never know...

yep, bobby z not doing his radio show for a reason...i say revolution

Prince has good music still in him and always can put on a good show !!

I just hate when fucks up his on image with 3rd Eye Girl ect .....

Its like he likes doing stupid music and looking like he has no talent in him anymore ( sad )

SNL - ANOTHERLOVE performance was the prince we love .and the rest of that performance was shit

well whatever he does he'll be sure majorly disappoint someone on here (except KCool) so... yeah can't wait. Maybe we'll get an open letter to prince thread out of it.

There's gonna be a Stevie Wonder tribute? That's great.Madonna is also gonna be on the Grammys performing her new single.In recent years,I skip this show but now I have several reasons to tune in

Guess I'll be watching this year...

The Stevie Wonder tribute will be a special show. It will not be part of the Grammy Award telecast.

You're kidding! That's one of the main reasons to watch. Well it be televised at all?

I would also love for him to do a Revolution/Purple Rain throwback but I don't think folks should get so excited so soon... there's about as much evidence of that happening as there is that Prince will be re-promoting For You (aka, none).

Somebody else said that 90s retro nostalgia is back, I totally agree. We all love Purple Rain, Kiss, Let's Go Crazy & 1999 but it would be great if he pulled out his 90s hits on stage like Cream, Beautiful Girl, Diamonds Pearls & 7 imo.

There's no evidence but there's indication that it's happening with Purple Rain remastered coming out sometime in the future

This would be the perfect opportunity for him to reunite with the Revolution! What better way to promote the Purple Rain remaster set?! Everyone would be talking about this.

The Revolution isn't a big thing outside a group of die hard fans (living in the past).

I think it'll make a bigger impact than Prince onstage with 3rdEyeGirl

The Revolution will be televised. I hope.

I dont. Prince is too smart to trot a band of old heads onstage and expect anyone other than his over 50 audience to give a damn.

If the Revolution was going to be thre, Wendy would be taking credit and running her mouth about it by now.

Or maybe it will be a performance of This Could Be Us with a special appearance by Apollonia!!!

Ya never know

Well, I'm not saying this is happening, but Wendy and Lisa (as well as other Revolution members) have been very quiet on social media since mid-November, about the time Prince closed his accounts. In my mind, Prince has them all chained in the vault in Paisley Park rehearsing for the upcoming Prince and The Revolution world tour, to coincide with the release of the Purple Rain remaster!

Hmmmm this would be the 30th anniversary of The Revolution performing "Baby I'm A Star" at the Grammies. I predict a reunion and THAT song being performed. "Purple Rain" reissue to be released the next day!

yea, this is disappointing news for us UK fans.

I predict we'll be here that night, discussing how it was terrible or awesome, sure as the prophet has foretold.

also, no way is this going to be a revolution reunion. This would have been leaked by someone by now. I dont want him to do a revolution tour etc, play some of the new stuff , he plays stuff from purple rain album on every tour,get over it!

No Purple Rain re issue anytime soon. I have the list of all upcoming album releases up to March and Purple Rain deluxe is not on the list.

The key word is "might", no confirmation yet.

And I say "might".............

True!

PR not being listed on the release schedule means little these days; Beyonce, D'Angelo, and J. Cole have all dropped "surprise" albums with little to no advance fanfare. I wouldn't be completely shocked if he did "This Could Be Us" with 3rdEyeGirl and an Apollonia appearance seguing into a performance of "Baby I'm A Star" with the Revolution (surprise!). While everyone is talking about that the next day WB release the details of the remaster's release.

.

Of course all that makes too much marketing sense. Prince will either just present or perform "TicTacToe" with 3rdEyGirl and announce the next day that "The Gold Standard" is his new single.
