It will be staged at the newly-built U.S. Bank Stadium in
Minneapolis and will also feature "prominent pop stars of today on
guest vocals."
Sources claim Gaga and Wonder are among those rumoured to appear,
although Prince's longtime attorney, L. Londell McMillan, has told
the Associated Press that the appearances are yet to be
confirmed.
An official announcement about the tribute show will be made next
week (beg05Sep16).
October will be a big month for fans of the late Purple Rain star -
Bremer Bank officials, who were appointed special administrators
for the singer's estate following his death in April (16), have
announced the gates to the singer's Paisley Park compound will open
for daily public tours from 6 October (16).
Confirming the news last month (Aug16), the late star's sister Tyka
Nelson said, "Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always
wanted to do and was actively working on. Only a few hundred people
have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his
lifetime. Now, fans from around the world will be able to
experience Prince's world for the first time as we open the doors
to this incredible place."
Visitors will get a guided tour of Paisley Park's main floor, which
features Prince's recording and mixing studios.
Prince's body was found slumped in an elevator inside the Paisley
Park compound just outside Minneapolis. His death was ruled an
accidental overdose of powerful painkiller Fentanyl.
