"Janelle Monae will be joining Prince on stage in Chicago!\r\nOn Wednesday, Prince, 54, announced that the 26-year-old singer will be a supporting act for his Sept. 26 &amp;quot;Welcome 2 Chicago&amp;quot; show at the United Center in Chicago, Ill. The concert will be in support of Rebuild the Dream, which is a mobilization of the creative community to fix the economy from the ground up.\r\n\r\nMonae, who is a face of CoverGirl, told MTV News back in November 2010 that she was &amp;quot;honored&amp;quot; to be chosen by Prince to be a part of his tour. &amp;quot;It&amp;apos;s definitely one of the things that I wanted to do in my career, is tour with him,&amp;quot; she shared. &amp;quot;And it just means a lot that he&amp;apos;s a mentor to me and he loves the stuff that we&amp;apos;re doing and he&amp;apos;s going to help out every way he can to make the show phenomenal.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nTickets for Monae&amp;apos;s show with Prince are currently on sale at LiveNation.com. Prince will also be performing at the United Center on Sept. 24 and Sept. 25.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;We couldn&amp;apos;t be more excited about partnering with a legend like Prince,&amp;quot; Van Jones, Co-founder and President of Rebuild the Dream, said in a statement. &amp;#x201C;Our economic system is broken. Rebuild the Dream exists to unite arts and organize into a potent force to support the Dreams of Our Communities. There are few artists who have Prince&amp;apos;s unwavering commitment to a vision of a sustainable, fair economic future.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
