BET Networks announced on Tuesday that stars Sheila E, The Roots, D’Angelo, Janelle Monae and others will take part in a special live tribute to Prince during the 2016 BET Awards scheduled to take place on June 26th at Nokia Theatre L.A. Live.
As the music lovers continue to mourn the loss of one of music’s most influential performers, BET’s objective is to honor Prince in a manner they feel fans will find more benefitting to the star given the strong reaction to Madonna’s recent tribute during the Billboard Music Awards. Details of the upcoming BET performance have not been available but the star-powered line-up ensure it will be an entertaining, must-see performance.
