        The night will also feature a historic joint performance by several of Prince's most celebrated musical friends and collaborators, including his GRAMMY Award-winning band The Revolution, GRAMMY nominee Sheila E.—who, alongside Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, is a co-musical director of the special—and the Prince-formed funk band Morris Day And The Time.

       There probably isn't a musician on Earth who hasn't dreamed of jamming with the one-and-only musical force of nature known as Prince. For Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, this dream came true during Prince's now-famous 21-night residency at The Forum in Los Angeles in 2011.

      "I walk out into the arena... it's empty. I'm talking to my guitar tech and all of a sudden…he just appears," Grohl said. "He goes, 'you wanna jam?'"

         Grohl then recalled sitting behind the drum kit as the band started joining in with Prince on bass. After the first song, everyone is high-fiving and Prince said “He has a heavy foot,” a compliment Grohl took to heart.

      "Then he [Prince] picks up a guitar and starts playing 'Whole Lotta Love' by Led Zeppelin," Grohl said. "And it was awesome. It sounded so good, amazing. We do that for like eight minutes and I'm like, Oh god, this is the best band I've ever been in." Grohl was unable to perform during the live concert due to conflicts, but recounts that rehearsal as if it occurred yesterday!
