In 2004, Prince toured North America to promote his Musicology album. The tour was often billed as Musicology Live2004ever. The tour lasted from 27 March – 9 September 2004 and covered 96 dates throughout the United States and Canada, fetching a significant profit for Prince. It was attended by 1.47 million people in 2004, and was the top grossing tour of 2004 taking in $87.4 million.[1] Also, it involves Prince schooling people to back in the day music.[2] This tour is also family-friendly along with the One Nite Alone...Tour. There are clean lyrics and no explicit ones.[3] The tour is R&B themed along with soul, rock, funk, and pop. Rose Ann Dimalanta is also another touring keyboardist and vocalist for this tour.[4][5] Candy Dulfer is also the comic foil for this tour though she plays saxophone and lends her vocal talents.[6]
