Fink continued to perform and tour with Prince after the group coalesced into The Revolution, which backed Prince on his blockbuster Purple Rain. After The Revolution was disbanded in 1986, Fink became the only member to stick with Prince, performing in his Sign O' the Times-era band and continuing through 1990.
