Tributes are maybe once, maybe twice.
They are not meant to be road shows where the tribute becomes about you and what you put on and say almost like one of the songs in the set list.
The acts that do tributes when a singer/musician dies is usually one night someone plays one or a few of their songs the day of or after their death. It takes away from a tribute when its done 40 times in a row.
Her tribute to Prince got old really quick especially with the photoshopped photos of them "together" behind her on stage as produced number. It was over one year since Prince's death and she was still on tour doing a big production of his passing. IMHO that's weird and trivializes the tribute. Its not about them anymore but about YOU and YOUR life. Tom Petty died in 2017. Stevie made a tribute to Tom in the Mac show a year after his passing. It was not about Tom but about how much she misses Tom which is not really about Tom when you think about it.
