Prince made just one concert appearance in Southwest Michigan during his career and it was an event at Wings Stadium in Kalamazoo in 1983 during the 1999 Tour.
Back in 1997, Prince made a stop in Grand Rapids to play Van Andel Arena on his Jam of the Year Tour. While people who attended the show remember it fondly, a Wyoming man remembers that night for a different reason.
Celebration! Woodland in Grand Rapids will honor Prince by screening his film Purple Rain for an entire week.
Prince died on April 21 at the age of 57.
