Chic reformed at Nile鈥檚 birthday party in the early 鈥�90s and Prince inspired the band to go on tour in Japan, where Bernard passed away after the last show. Nile never thought he鈥檇 play any Chic music without him - but one year later, a Japanese promoter asked Nile to continue in tribute to Bernard - which inspired Nile to play more and more.
