Prince’s Revolution bandmates going on tour that ends in Seattle
MINNEAPOLIS – Prince’s old bandmates, who first reunited over three emotional nights last September at First Avenue, have extended their modest 2017 tour plans into a full-scale 24-gig outing scheduled through July and spread out from New York and Toronto to Los Angeles and San Francisco.
