How are we supposed to be happy?? How do we celebrate??? I can't.

I hear you, for me, I just feel no matter what celebration or tribute shows, it will never be the same without Prince, so I guess those shows are no interest for me, like it will be of interest for other fans. All one can do is embrace the good memories of his performances that they experienced when he was alive. The music will never be the same without Prince. May the angels bless him and keep his spirit/soul in peace. [Edited 4/27/16 5:01am]

I have gone to see the Purple Experience tribute show a couple of times and if you like Prince's music, it is just very enjoyable. So I would see the Revolution as just a bigger tribute band. But tix to Purple Experience are $15 each and I wouldn't pay a lot to see the Revolution. Also it will just be depressing becuase Prince is gone now...maybe it will be different in a month, but right now I wouldn't go.

The tribute concert in Paradiso, Amsterdam last night was pretty cool. Most artists kinda played the songs in a similar way Prince would have done.

But Hallo Venray really made a very different arrangement for Controversy. Either you love it, or you hate it, I guess.

It would b great if Sheila got back 2gether all of the main players that Prince worked with. Would love 2 see Martika sing 'Love thy will be done' as she is often overlooked. Also Mazarati - no-one seems 2 have mentioned them. And it should be televised 4 those who can't make it 2 the concerts.

For me its about being with Prince FAMS! I need to be with those that can relate right now. So the trip to MPLS for me will be not just to see the band members but to be with Prince Family of Fams! And to pay my respects at Paisley Park/First Avenue ect. I can't say Goodbye but I have to show my love and caring for him and with those that loved him.

I was thinking the same thing! Also, what about Jerome Benton and Cat Glover? Everyone that has touched Prince's life should be there. It will be fabulous!!!

Yes, JB...We will need some humor.

The Martika Love Thy Will Be Done Thing is cool too.

Has anyone heard from Patti Labelle?

Rosie Gaines

There is so many

You know Patti will participate if Shelia asks her to...I only want The Godmother of Soul to sing one of the 3 Songs Prince wrote for her...My favorite is a track called "I hear your voice"...That song is too Damn smooth and it was not released as a single...All the Big Names/Divas that recorded Prince's music should ONLY sing the songs he picked for them back-in-the-day......I Hope Shelia follows her heart and do what she feels led to do...

I wouldn't care to C Pattie LaBelle a part of the associate shows. She can do her own thing, same with Chaka Khan

I also assume the Time will be getting together. So Jerome most likely if he chooses will be with them, and the Family might try to get him back to do some stuff with them.

If Sheila E. is rounding people up she is definately going to get the 80s bands together. Those are the ones she associates with, she's done a few shows with the Time, some shows with the Family, and of course her connection to the Revolution, not to mention did some shows with Dr Fink, and had Wendy & Lisa (and Susannah) in some CoEd band shows and did many other of her performances and Wendy & Lisa had her perform at some of their functions etc

Im sorry but. At this point i dont see the point without Prince. This is for them and us. Not Prince. He wasnt interested in a revolution gathering.

Do not attend then. They want to celebrate a legacy THEY ARE PART OF.

Go away with your negativity.

No..No...No...this was not right - felt wrong sorry

Cool video clip. Brown Mark still looks the same. Still looks like he did in the 80's.

No one knows the full spectrum of what will come of this.

Family Asks Sheila E. to Plan Prince Tribute: ‘It Is Going to Be Pretty Incredible’

The singer said, “Right now. I am in charge of putting that whole thing together as requested from the family, so it will be very interesting because there are so many people over the years who have been a part of his legacy as well. And for all of us to get together and play together one more time for him, it is going to be pretty incredible.”

She continued, “We will have something for the public as well. I think that would be something he would want for them. He worked his entire life and wrote songs for them, and did that for them, for the fans. He loved them very much.”

Sheila E. insisted, “Prince wasn’t the guy to talk about death.”

“We never knew this was coming,” she added. “He never planned anything, and so the decisions have been between a couple of us and the family to make sure we represent him in the way that we think that he would want to because there is nothing on paper right now. We are trying to abide by his wishes as if he was here as much as we can, despite what we would love to do.”
