Prince ashes no longer on display
Visitors who continue to make pilgrimages to the one-time home of Prince in suburban Minneapolis will be able to see mementos that highlight the life of the iconic artist, but at least for now, they won’t be able to see his earthly remains.
According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, the complex which doubled as a concert space in addition to Prince’s living space — which was also where he was found dead of an overdose of fentanyl in 2016 — is no longer displaying his ashes.
His brother Omarr Baker says the ashes are still at Paisley Park, “just not on display.” Baker said, explaining the removal from visitor access. “Three years is enough time to mourn. There’s a season for everything.”
However, not all of the late “Purple Rain” singer’s family feels the same.
“I’m very upset with this,” Sharon Nelson, the oldest of Prince’s six surviving siblings, said. “I think one or two heirs approved the move.”
Since, Prince’s death the heirs to his estate have been at odds according to Forbes, due to him not having a will or estate plan, resulting in them receiving nothing so far.
Let’s let the Purple one just rest in peace.
