Prince’s former band, The Revolution will tour the country, in honor of their once lead vocalist.
The news was announced via band member, Mark Brown’s Facebook page on Tuesday, April 26.
The Revolution reconnected to grieve the death of the “Purple Rain” singer, when they decided to perform shows in cities across the nation.
“We have decided after spending three or four days together now grieving over the loss of Prince that we would like to come out and do some shows,” Wendy Melvoin said on behalf of the band. “We want to let you know that we'll be there soon, so we want to let you know now.”
Prince formed the The Revolution, a multi-racial and multi-gendered band after the release of his first album, “For You.” Initially the band went without a name until their appearance in Prince’s 1984 film, “Purple Rain.”
