Six months after his death, Prince’s Paisley Park compound will welcome tourists hoping to get a glimpse inside the reclusive musician’s private estate and production complex.
We’re told Bremer’s now negotiating with the family in hopes of getting everyone on board, but that’s more for PR purposes.
“The Estate is working with the family to form an advisory council who will provide valuable input on the entire experience”, said Bremer Trust President Craig Ordal.
“Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime”, Nelson said.
According to the plan, the tours will take visitors throughout Paisley Park, including the recording and mixing studios where Prince recorded, produced and mixed many of his biggest hits.
Denny Laufenburger, the mayor of Chanhassen-the Minnesota town where Paisley Park is located-expressed his city’s support of the news in a press release.
Reports suggest he was taking the pills in an effort to cope with the pain of an ongoing hip issue. Guests who attended the bash claimed Prince seemed pale, gaunt and exhausted.
Tickets will become available August 26 at 3 p.m. ET, more information can be found here.
“Tours will also include Prince’s video editing suites, rehearsal rooms, private NPG Music Club, and a massive soundstage and concert hall where he rehearsed for tours and held exclusive private events and concerts”, adds the release. Also featured will be thousands of artifacts from his personal archives.
An application for development review and business plan have been submitted to the City of Chanhassen, according to the announcement.
Graceland is providing start-up money to finance improvements and initial operating costs tied to the Prince museum.
