The Revolution to perform Prince tribute shows
At the Purple Rain club First Avenue
The Revolution, Prince's backing band, will perform two September shows in honour of their deceased leader.
The band had announced their intention to reunite in April, but now their shows are officially confirmed. The shows will take place at the Minneapolis club First Avenue, where the concert scenes for the Purple Rain film were shot.
The Revolution backed Prince on four LPs, including 1999 and Purple Rain.
The concerts will take place September 2 and 3. Watch the 'Darling Nikki' scene from Purple Rain below.
