Prince is playing a concert in Baltimore this weekend in the wake of protests following the death of Freddie Gray. The singer announced on Tuesday, May 5 that the show would take place on Sunday at the Royal Farms Arena at 05:00 P.M.

"In a spirit of healing, the event is meant to be a catalyst for pause and reflection following the outpouring of violence that has gripped Baltimore and areas throughout the U.S.," read a statement issued by Prince's team.

For the concert, the "Purple Rain" hitmaker is bringing along his band 3RDEYEGIRL as well as special guests that have yet to be named. Tickets go on sale on Wednesday.

Prince also asks people planning to attend the Sunday gig to "wear something gray," a reference to the 25-year-old Gray who died last month from a severe spine injury while in police custody a week after being arrested. Six cops were charged last week in connection to the death.

Prior to announcing the concert, Prince recorded a song that "addresses the unrest in Baltimore and the socio/political issues around the country in the wake of a slew of killings of young black men." Described as "a tribute to all of the people of the city of Baltimore," the track still has no official release date.
