The singer said that his tour will provide “multiple nights of entertainment.” He didn’t announce the start date or reveal any juicy information about what songs he would be playing, but did say that he is setting out to create the best tour of his career.
He named a number of participants who would be joining him on stage including Janelle Monae, jazz singer Cassandra Wilson, R&B group Mint Condition, Lelah Hathaway, Sheila E, Esperanza Spalding and James Brown’s legendary saxophonist Maceo Parker.
He also advised those that were coming to “bring foot spray, because it’s going to be funky.” Prince premiered his new song, “Rich Friends” over the Apollo sound system.

“If you’ve been to one of my shows, then you know what time it is,” Prince told the crowd, according to a statement. “You need to come early and come often because every time we play it’s always something new. I got a lot of hits. Bring friends, bring children, and bring foot spray because it’s gonna be funky.”
