I have to wonder what he would think about all of this. I know that he had stated that he wanted PP to be some kind of a museum but that was before he knew he would actually pass there. And what about the elevator? Is that part of the tour? As in, is it needed to get people up and down floors. I'm sure there are stairs but how will that work? Hopefully the elevator is not part of the tour.

No I dont think he would. Im sure he never dreamed he would die in the building. So Im going to say he would have issues with it.

Right. I don't think he would be either--- I know Elvis has Graceland but he didn't actually die there. I'm feeling conflicted about PP. At first I wanted to visit- now I'm not so sure.

will you visit nursev?

You know if Prince was still alive and he turned PP into a museum then I would visit, but now its just too sad knowing he died there and it just feels wrong to me. So no I wont be going.

I thought Elvis died at Graceland?

I guess I'm wrong! I didn't know Elvis actually passed there... .I will have to go google it.... but yes, seems wrong to have tours when he actually passed at PP. I was watching the Oprah interview last night and they were sitting in the chairs in front of the elevator and it says "elevation" right beside it. Still seems so bizarre that he passed there. Yeah, I don't think I will visit either. I really wanted to but it's feeling icky....

He did.

I thought he did thanks

Yes, he wanted it to be a museum.

He let people in there all the time when he was alive.

Exactly! He had people there all the time. He would dj for them just for fun for parties there, not to mention the endless shows he did, etc. Just regular folks most of the time. He wanted it to become a museum for goodness sake! This seems to be exactly what he wanted.

I know of all his shows and that he was always letting fans in, my question was, since he actually died there would he be okay with it?

I'm not familiar with the layout of Paisley Park but if upstairs is part of the tour and there's stairs leading there, I'd imagine the elevator would still have to be available for those who are physically disabled.

From what I understand - the second floor will not be part of the tour - offices and private residence.

And I am sure there is more than one elevator - one for visitors, a freight elevator and maybe even a third (private elevator for our beloved) Regardless, I am almost 100% positive no elevator will be available for obvious reasons and since the 2nd floor in not in use for the tours, no need for one -for friends that are in a wheelchair. Peace, love and healing.

A person who's dead isn't caring about anything anymore.

Um he was living there. Where do you think he thought he was going to die? A hospital room? Nursing home?

Most people dont think they will die in an elevator What kinda question is this? Jesus Most folks wanna die comfortably...the fuck

Ask him ..........

Yep, he was planning it all along. He now has no attachment to what happens so it's all good.

Also, lots of people will be happy to be in there, soaking in his energy - that was HIS SPACE - all of him is still there, welcoming people in.

Trust. It's all good.

I'll be there first day...

They were doing guided tours at Paisley Park parties the last 2 years for $40. I don't think Prince would have an issue with it. I don't think he would have wanted a place that he breathed so much life into to be shut down when he passed. It's still a little soon in my opinion, but that's just my opinion. It seems he kept a lot of outfits and instruments from years past, so I'm thinking he wanted it to be seen one day. As far as I know there is only one elevator in Paisley Park. If that area is on the tour, it will be a little haunting. It's the reality of what happened and part of the history, so I don't think it should be excluded.

Hate the idea of people taking grinning selfies in front of the elevator. I saw that in front of the pools at ground zero.

Do we know if people are allowed to even take photos? I'm going to assume not. These are guided tours. No one will be able to just wander around PP without a tour guide present.

I haven't heard anything about taking photo's either, I would assume no. The website says the cheaper tour is a self guided tour and the VIP tour will be with a guide. Since the tours are timed, I figure the cheaper tour must have some sort of guide that will keep the people moving.
