"I am so excited to be coming back to Australia this April, heading up an all-star line-up of singers and musicians to honour the incredible life and music of Prince," St Paul Peterson, the show’s musical director, says.
"The entire band were fortunate to work with him, and we are honoured to keep his memory and music alive at the world premiere of Nothing Compares 2 Prince."
St Paul Peterson knew Prince since he was 17, appeared in 'Purple Rain' (the movie) and was the original vocalist on 'Nothing Compares 2 U' released by The Family in 1985.
