Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan to headline Prince tribute concert Oct. 13
On Oct. 13, purple rain will once again fall in Minnesota, when the official tribute concert to late icon Prince takes place at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul. The show, which was first announced in July by Prince's sister Tyka Nelson, will boast several high-profile acts, including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and Christina Aguilera. Fifteen acts were announced Friday, but more potential performers could be revealed in the coming weeks.
"It's about celebrating [Prince's] life and music and bringing people together and love for Prince," said L. Londell McMillan, one of the show's organizers. "This is a classic all-star salute." Tickets will go on sale Monday and reportedly start at $19.99.
