Paisley Park, home of Prince, opens for public tours Oct

Four months after the singer Prince died, representatives of his estate announced that his Paisley Park recording studio and residence will be turned into a museum and will open to the public for tours starting on October 6. Paisley Park, the private estate and production complex of the late rock superstar Prince, will open for public tours starting October 6.

Prince, 57, collapsed and died at the 65,000-square-foot (6,040-square-meter) estate in April after an accidental overdose of the powerful opioid fentanyl.

“Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime”, Nelson said. “Now, fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince’s world for the first time as we open the doors to this incredible place”.

Fans will get the chance to look through the main floor of Paisley Park, including the recording studios where Prince recorded and produced some of his biggest hits. These include awards, musical instruments, concert wardrobe and motorcycles.

Graceland, where Presley is buried, offers a model for building a successful business through a late star and has become a pre-eminent tourist attraction in Memphis, Tennessee. Tours will last 70 minutes. Tickets for a 70-minute tour are expected to cost $38.50 Dollars, though more elaborate options for VIP bus tours will also be available. The decision will be made at a planning commission on September 20.

The mayor of Chanhassen released his own statement, adding that he believes that opening Paisley Park is what Prince wanted.

Tours will reportedly begin this October and tickets will be available starting August 26 at 3 PM EST.

But court filings indicate that they will likely include Tyka Nelson and five half-siblings because Prince was divorced, his parents are dead and he had no confirmed children.

Bremer Trust said: “The Estate is working with the family to form an advisory council who will provide valuable input on the entire experience”.
