Bootsy Collins' James Brown tribute tour
Bootsy Collins is getting the band back together...sort of.
The former JB, Parliament-Funkadelic bassist and snazzy dresser is getting together some of Brown's old backing band for a tour in memory of the Hardest Working Man in Showbusiness.
The band will include Bootsy's brother and J.B.’s alumn Phelps "Catfish" Collins on guitar and J.B. drummers John "Jabo" Starks and Funky Drummer Clyde Stubblefield. Bart Byrd, the son of late J.B.'s keyboardist Bobby Byrd, Tony Wilson and Brown's daughter Venisha will also be on board.
