In a video posted on social media Tuesday, guitarist Wendy
Melvoin said the Revolution "have decided after spending three
or four days together now grieving over the loss of Prince that
we would like to come out and do some shows ... see you soon."
The video on Facebook and Twitter shows five members of the
Revolution, Melvoin, bassist Mark Brown, keyboard players Lisa
Coleman and Matt Fink, and drummer Bobby Z, sitting on a couch.
The band, which was formed in Prince's Minneapolis home town,
played with him from 1979 on albums and tours, including "Purple
Rain" and "1999," before splitting up in the mid-'80s.
Sales of Prince records have soared since the influential
musician was found dead last Thursday at age 57 in an elevator
at his Paisley Park Studios compound in Minneapolis. The cause
of his death is not yet known.
