On Thursday night, an all-star cast of musicians, including Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, and Morris Day, assembled at the Xcel Energy Center in St. Paul, Minnesota to pay tribute to Prince. Stevie Wonder and Chaka Khan performed "1999," and the Prince-written "I Feel For You" with members of Prince’s bands, the New Power Generation and 3rdEyeGirl.
The show opened with a pre-recorded message from President Obama. "Thank you, Prince, for all the great works you have done. You will be in our hearts forever,” he said. Other performers included Doug E. Fresh, Bilal, Anita Baker, Tori Kelly, and Christina Aguilera. Tyka Nelson, Prince's sister, addressed the crowd assembled in St. Paul.
