Prince's ex-wife Mayte Garcia has joined the lineup for this week's tribute concert honoring the late "Purple Rain" megastar in St. Paul.

Other performers announced Tuesday include former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger; Portuguese fado singer Ana Moura, whom Prince would feature in international performances; and Prince's former bandmate Andre Cymone.

Stevie Wonder, Christina Aguilera, Chaka Khan and Tori Kelly are among performers already lined up for Thursday's concert that is sanctioned by Prince's family.

Fans snapped up tickets for the Xcel Energy Center show when they went on sale Sept. 19.

Prince died of an accidental painkiller overdose at his Paisley Park recording complex in April.
