Prince Fans To Mark Anniversary Of His Death
Paisley Park has since been turned into a museum, with a full four days of events on tap, including concert performances by Prince’s former bandmates, and panel discussions.
“I wouldn’t want to be anywhere else but here today”, said Diana Rivera of Chicago.
October 2016: Prince’s family opened the doors of Paisley Park to tourists and fans, offering a walking tour of his studios, soundstage and nightclub and most importantly, an opportunity to meet his doves, Majesty and Divinity.
A time for reflection.
“You watch him jumping off of tall speaker stacks, landing in heels, going into a spin and a split…and you wince…it never occurred to any of us before”, says Light. We won’t point out where you can find the record, but trust us that it’s easy to find.
“From the moment I listened to the song, it hit me like a ton of bricks”.
Prince left a new impression for others like Jennifer Umolac of Minneapolis.
The Revolution, which backed up Prince in the 1980s, will play two shows September 2-3 at First Avenue, the downtown Minneapolis nightclub where Prince and the Revolution filmed “Purple Rain”.

It’s the type of fanfare Prince himself may not have been comfortable receiving, but it’s certainly well deserved and appreciated by his fans. April 21st is his birthday. But as we inch closer to the anniversary of his passing, the traffic has picked up, he said. It will be reminiscent of the one that drew thousands of mourners on the night of Prince’s death to cry, dance and sing along. “This, sadly, is closure”.
In his Minneapolis hometown, one industrious fan changed the put a symbol sticker over the sign for 6th street turning it into Prince-th street.
Recording artist Prince is topping the charts one year after he died of an accidental overdose.
