- Pictures of inside and outside Paisley Park in Chanhassen, Minnesota
Paisley Park is a self-contained 55,000 square foot, $10 million creative-complex located in Chanhassen, Minnesota (about 22 miles outside of Minneapolis). Prince came up with the idea to build the complex while filming the movie Purple Rain.
Construction started on the project in 1986 and it was completed 1988. The complex contains 2 recording studios, a video editing suite, wardrobe department, sound-stage, offices, his music vault and living space.
Prince lived the last year of his life at Paisley Park.
These pictures were taken by the Carver Police Department the day of his passing as well as a couple weeks later during the execution of a search warrant.
Hopefully these photos give you a better appreciation for Prince. He lived a bit more humbly than most people would imagine. For people that have taken the tour, it'll give you the opportunity to see spaces in the complex off limits during the tours.
Because of copyright issues there is no Prince music in this video. Instead I have used music that means something to me. You might not like it or think it fits, but we all have different tastes. Something I think Prince would appreciate. You can always mute the music and play something else while you take a look.
Lastly, please don't leave negative comments about Paisley Park, Prince or his family. People have left comments alluding to the family "looting" and "selling" all his stuff. That is simply not true.
WHO ELSE HAD TO WATCH THIS ON MUTE...smh
I would have enjoyed listening to a prince medley while watching this
Me too, what was up with the song selection. So I just muted the sound and played a Prince song.
Agreed. I muted the sound also.
They can't put Prince music in the video because it will get copyright claimed
chuxsee17 right? What’s with this horrible music???
You would think if somebody had the privilege to actually walk through his home, they would honor him correctly with a parity of his music
Watch this on mute. The music is atrocious
Thx
I did exactly that
Crummy song
Literal first thought
I had to mute it also.
I suggest watching this video with the volume turned down all the way!
I have a lump in my throat, which almost leaves me speechless. This is the most insightful experience for me inside of Prince's daily world. Looks like this was pre cleanup and inventory prior to the museum. Paisley Park is enormous and had creative decor for a man with genius creativity. I am grateful this video was released. However, watching it, deeply saddens me.
Anissha Blackwell this from the police investigation.
Gypsy Dust by the looks of these pics that's what I was thinking ..
Samantha L one of the first shots in the House shows a police’s vest sitting there.
Nice to have a look. Music Is wrong for this video
I know right. They could have played some of Prince's songs.
Totally. Completely wrong.
Sure the hell is Lol.
U got that right!! They could have played Paisley Park the song
@@d-vinegoldstruc9929 yh that wud have been better and more suited to the video.
I have heard people talk about paisley park being this magical place, but these pictures to me show a dated building in need of a major facelift. I feel like this building is stuck in the 80's or early 90's.
Looks more like a corporate office building instead of a home.
Suzy Q JHawk it’s not his home. It was his office.
It is his home. And his office. It was a world in itself. His world
Miss hawk thats n cause they filmed this after they went in prince home rammed shacked it RiP prince lol ✌my brother
It's a music studio, stage, club and a place to crash
It was offices at one time when the studio was booming. He sold his last house and moved in here. He didn't have much money in recent years.
if some of you were to just drop dead would your bed be made how clean would your place be? let's be realisic he was a regular person at the end of the day... PRINCE forever.....
Demetria Fore Q@
My house is always spotless. It's the person. But it doesn't make me think any different of him. I'm a prince fan.
Well if l died right now l would still die of shame because l have experienced a great loss and whereas l am usually clean, l have not been up on house keeping. It happens. Prince was a human. I miss the guy but he was still a guy. I don't even consider his messes a flaw. It's life.
Plus he was touring at the time. It seems like he didn't have a maid and there was so much stuff that needed to be decorated. All those rooms had alot of junk in it. The studio and bedroom was the mist important. U can just tell
The Prince is who he is . I know all about him .He will always be the one to me . He is loved around the world .Much more so than in America . A lot of the things in his home have been with him through out his life .He probably still has items coming into his estate from every where .I understand that when he made music , he knew how to play every instrument in a large band or what ever his arrangement was .People have no way of estimating the size of his fan base .I told this young lady that I was a Prince fan - she found that hard to believe .I told her I started listening to him in late 1979 , but I forgot she was only like 20 - 21 years old she and others had no idea he went that far back .
You can see, no matter what you have!! You can't take anything with you!! So material things mean nothing, when you're Dead!!! Can't take it with you. R.I.P Prince!!! 🙏🏽😭😭😭😭
that's exactly right ! that's why Prince didn't leave a will because he was going to be up there not down here. So, why should he care. He left it ALL on stage.
you needed this video to realize that? XD
Ok what were they looking for im sure Mr Rogers did not leave his Home like that????? Oh my😱
Conny Berg / No obviously not,but how many people are still in the cycle of working for bigger and better "material things"?! Before you sneer at a comment with substance you should digest it before spewing out ...nothing
Darrin Robinson /and its equally as obvious how many people still don't comprehend that!
Prince wasn't lonely.... Privacy is warranted when your an icon. He always entertained the city, friends, and musicians at his house. He was all about his city, donated, and a regular at local businesses. I think his house is creative and it definitely reflects the man he was.
I'm surprised how 80's everything looks. Looks like it never got a renovation. Never modernized. Oh well...
RIP Prince. You brought magic to this screwed up world. Thank you for that!
it was different when it 1st opened & he'd made changes. the pool in the atrium is gone, a lot of the colors, writing & pictures on the walls came in the 1990's. he designed the whole complex & [POV] it seems to reflect ideas from his internal landscape. don't forget he had other places but this was 'home' as his last years unfolded. chronic pain takes a lot of energy for making changes too 😞
Seems very cold and reminds me of an abandoned mall/shopping center.
This makes me sad. Prince would be so upset with the way his house was torn up. These pics have to be the result of a search.
Harley Jules It is sad Prince was so proud of Paisley, many local people went to concerts there...they really miss him
MmHm. YUP, it DEFINITELY looks RANSACKED over, and then CLEANED UP a bit. 💯💯
Thanks for the tour!! The world is duller without Prince's flare. He is & will be missed, but forever in our hearts!!💜
The best thing about this video was the end of the musical track.
I can just see Prince walking these halls. NVM the mess. His untimely and unfair death will always hurt. He lives on in our hearts and his music will most definitely live on. RIP Prince we will always love you!!!
Becky Willard I still love me some Prince Nelson
Joanna Edwards amen sista.
I realized after looking at these that even the brightest stars fade into obscurity...maybe one day we can fully appreciate them while they are still alive
Wow this just goes to show you how much of a regular person he was. He wasn’t this mysterious man that the media and people portrayed him to be. I never understood why people thought that about him. I always knew he did regular things like any normal human. He was just one of the ones that made it big and had a god given talent.
ashanti hudson Maybe that’s why he didn’t want people to see his home and kept private cos he knew how media would react. You know some people like to live a bit messy, unfinished. I live like this all my life. When I saw his boxes in the Vault I laughed, it reminds me of my house. How many times I told my husband to move those boxes. They are full of the similar items like old tapes, CDs ... and the whole room exactly like his Vault. And I like to keep everything including baby clothes, papers etc. whatever was accumulated during the life. My wedding dress is out there too. If you have a big house you tend to keep memories.
Rita50 right and he ain’t really have time to do all the cleaning by himself cuz he was busy traveling and doing other things.
ashanti hudson People think he was mysterious because he was so private about many aspects of his life. Yes he was a regular person but at the same time he wasn’t average by any means. The average person isn’t a musical genius. Prince was an exceptional talent and that’s rare. It’s all just so sad for us fans.
ashanti hudson I was able too see him very early in his career. Vanity 6 and Time played as well. The best concert I’ve ever been too. I didn’t know then just how significant that concert would be to me one day even though I recognized his genius even then.
What your seeing is after his death/ the studio.It's being packed and closed up for sale.Prince was always very humble, classy, particular, quiet, and clean.He had staff to do maintenance.He was above media drama and messy conflicts he demanded privacy and did very little interviews.All his energy was positive and intelligent.Sad how those people have to leave our world and leave us with ...
Obviously I watched this out of curiosity but almost feel guilty. Prince didn’t even let people have cell phones while in his house. Now every room, closet, and drawer is on display- exactly what he didn’t want
Wait a minute everybody! Mayté did say that her kids father was a neat freak. He was a perfectionst. Paisley Park stayed clean. She had mentioned it. This woman been around this man for an entire decade! From 1990 til 2000. She has no reason to lie. The only reason why it looks a mess is because you got cops, paramedics, detectives with search warrants terrorizing the place.
Ceylon M They didn’t live there. She wasn’t talking about Paisley Park. She was talking about their houses.
suZee Six I know where she stayed at. They lived in the purple house for a minute, then he let his dad stayed there. After his dad died, he had the house bulldozed. She spent most of her time between Paisley Park and in Marbella, Spain. Nonetheless, she did mentioned that Prince was a perfectionist and a neat freak. My entire post was focus on how neat Prince was. How do you think I am? I am nowhere near as young as you think.
Mayte is also a liar who said on video she and prince didnt speak after the divorce.
Ceylon M I just thought it looked lived in that's all. I agree with you. He wouldn't let it get a big mess. He had staff assigned that did daily and weekly chores. Typical daily cleaning and weekly detail cleaning.
it's not a mess. it appears that he was organizing things into time periods in anticipation of converting it to a museum. He was a musician -- he had lots of gear laying about.
Whoever posted this.. please know you have touched me deeply. To get one last glimpse of him through his surroundings means the world to me. Thx you to eternity☔️
Same here.
I'm so TIRED of the negative 💩 said about every little thing!! It's a DAMN studio. Other artists used it also. The Police Been through everything. Then the family and staff left to clean it up. Organize and put things in the proper place. Catalog his items and preserve them. Prince owned a lot of personal things. Collected over 40 years. Just worry about keeping his Legacy Alive. Passing information to the younger generations. Two years of this is getting real old. Complain, whining, negativity, criticizing and more..... Smdh!!!
PRINC-S 7147 You are totally correct, Prince had many homes, he always said Paisley was his base as he grew up in Minneapolis but he said he lived all over the world. He had in recent years bought a beautiful villa in the Bahamas, where he relaxed. Paisley was his dream recording studio away from the big cities like New York and LA. I watched an advert about PP years ago showing how it could be rented out for movie s and recording. There’s a video of Prince back in 1999 still on You tube explains all about PP....
Art Full ~ Thanks Art 4 explaining this further into detail. Idk what people don't get!?? The homes he owned can be easily looked up. I 💖 the home he has on this Island. W/the Purple driveway. It was listed @ $10,000,000. To me is a steal 4 a beautiful blue ocean, privacy & a relaxing get away. Prince did what he wanted. Including bulldozing down homes....lol!! The staff stumble upon the suit. He wore 4 his incredible Super Bowl performance. It was in a closet I hear was unknown. Heavens know how many secret areas PP had. Prince was so creative. He (may) have had a room hidden behind a wall, book shelf or something. Nothing surprises me when it comes 2 Prince.😉
{"F.Y.I. U CAN SKIP THIS BELOW!"} ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️
I'm happy, & blessed that I have seen him live. Been 2 parties @ PP. Met him @ Bunkers along w/Jelly Bean. I got JB's autograph on a bank deposit slip from 2001. Of course I knew not 2 ask Prince.😕
I know people that worked 4 Prince. I grew up w/the 1st rap artist he signed 2 his label T.C. Ellis (David Ellis). He lived 5-6 blocks from me. I recently found out Prince hung out @ T.C.'s home a lot. W/the 11 yr. age difference I never would've seen/met Prince then. I wasn't old enough 2 be hanging out ... DAMN it!! T.C. also had a role in Graffitti Bridge. T.C. has a sister named (SuAnne). There's a funny story about their meeting. To cut it short. She decided 2 wear heels. They had steep stairs going up 2 the 2nd floor. Well she fell down them.😮 I couldn't imagine the embarrassment. Jessie Johnson produced 1 of her CD's. Rumor I heard she was supposed 2 be the lead of Vanity 6. "RUMOR" I need 2 ask T.C.☺Currently T.C. has a school that teaches kids music, production, use of a recording studio ect...in St. Paul, MN.
I know 1 of Prince's Former Personal Assistants, (Mariah Brown). She's a friend of my daughter. I watched her grow up. There's a interview of her speaking about Prince online. I believe on U-tube. Google her name & it will pop up. She said, she NEVER saw him take any pills. I spoke 2 her on the phone. She couldn't believe he was gone. She told me Prince was a great Boss & mentor. She learned so much. Also he was a prankster. She told me 1 hot day in the summer. Prince pulled the fire alarm lol!! He laughed & let everyone go home 4 the day. She had a lot of work 2 due & responsibilities. Including running errands such as going 2 Target, pick up his dry cleaning. She traveled w/him on concert tours. One particular time he asked her 2 go pick up lunch. And she told him. Only if u play Little Red Corvette every concert.🚘
I knew his HS girlfriend (Kim Upsher) & her Aunt Darlene Upsher was my Best Friend. May they Both R.I.P.😢Kim passed away 4 months b4 Prince. From a aneurysm.
Kim lived w/Prince in the 1st house he bought. That was in Edina, MN. She was w/Prince b4 he signed w/Warner Brother's. Kim was the beautiful lady in Purple Rain. She played the waitress. The scene w/Appolonia & Morris Day. Morris ordered a bottle of the best Champagne lol!
I went 2 HS w/Mint Condition. Stokley Williams, Jeffrey Allen & Homer O'Dell I dated shortly.😕 We all had steel drums class 2gether. MC toured w/Prince & he mentored them. Prince loved the group MC. Idk if anyone knew Roger Troutman's son was raised in St. Paul. He went 2 St. Paul Central HS also. He went by (Roger Lynch) or Roger Lynch Troutman Jr. He was apart of MC shortly. Sadly Roger Jr. has passed away yrs ago. He was jumped & beat up, R.I.P.😢 Roger was talented like his dad. He even looked a lot like him. Roger Jr. played multiple instruments & could sing also. He has video's on U-tube under Roger Lynch. Roger Jr. has a daughter that is rapping. A different direction compared 2 her dad & granddad. So much tragedy it's so sad. Minnesota has/had so much talent.
When I was only 15. Myself & a friend were bored. We rode our bikes from St. Paul 2 Lake Calhoun in Minneapolis.😩🚲 That was CRAZY of us OMG! As we were riding back home. A car approached us. I was asked if I'd like 2 model her swimwear designs. She was a designer 4 Prince.🤤 I said yes I'd love 2. The shooting day on the beach @ Lake Calhoun came. We had our make-up & hair done. In the building downtown Prince used b4 moving everything 2 PP. I think back 2 that time. I'm still kicking myself. It could've turned into a life changing opportunity. At the time I was a kick ass dancer. I had a girls pop locking, break dancing group. It was 4 of us. We would perform 4 money. If I had only opened my mouth. And asked how could I get a chance 4 the group 2 meet w/Prince. And possibly audition 4 him. Not to Toot our horns or brag. We could out dance all his girl dancers.
I'm SORRY this post became so looooong & off topic. Living in The Twin Cities it is easy 2 know someone. Or someone that knows someone. I know others in the industry that came out of St. Paul/Minneapolis. I don't believe they had any connection 2 Prince. I could be wrong. But Prince is our Hometown ICON everyone loved, aspired 2 be great like him, they looked up to him. My friend a Grammy Award winning Producer (Anthony Dent). He worked with Destiny Child, Beyonce', Jay-Z, Biggie Smalls 2 name a few. He went 2 Central High School. The group NEXT from Minneapolis. I recently attended the 90's Block Party Concert. I had all access because of T-low & Tweets sister. I was able to be in the front main floor, Back stage, & their dressing area after they finished. One day they maybe my brother in laws.😁
Prince put us on the map. I'd like 2 think he opened doors 4 more Minnesotan groups. We have that distinct minnesota sound. Another artist here I believe his name is Blake?? He's going 2 blow up fast. This guy can really sing. But we all know, No One Compares 2 Prince. Never Will There Be Anyone Close To Him!! To have lived 2 see the GREATEST Artist that lived. Is a blessing. We must continue to share his Legacy.
Is there any other Artist that did or could do EVERYTHING Prince did. Single handed alone. Such as complete a total album. Write, compose, play all instruments, do all the vocals, produced, arranged, danced in heels & much more.....??! I'll wait🤔 💯💯💯💯
PRINC-S 7147 I enjoyed reading this..and to answer your question..NO DAMN ONE ELSE can even come close to doing the things P did...there will NEVA be another like him!!!!Others might try to imitate him...but he sure as hell will never be duplicated!!!!
PRINC-S 7147. That's what i thought. It's a studio.
PRINC-S 7147 Wow, it’s so interesting to hear about your times in Minneapolis and your connection to Prince....amazing. We don’t get to hear enough from the every day people that lived nearby. I love hearing about his concerts at PP for the locals and his gigs in local bars....I can’t even imagine how brilliant it must have been to be there, with Prince up close, if you know what I mean lol. I have only ever seen Prince at the big stadiums and I now regret not being in his fan club and getting the vip tickets for smaller venues. I live in England but Prince did play the smaller venues in London over the years.
What was he like to see up close in person, I would have fainted probably😃
That’s so cool you knowing Kim, yeah she was before his fame, and I didn’t realise she was in that scene in Purple Rain. What was she like ? Yeah it’s a shame, so many people missed their chance with Prince, especially the shy nice types that thought “ I can’t say or do because he’s Prince”. Yeah us fans would really love to know more about the every day local side of Prince. I really enjoyed reading your reply, can imagine what it must have been like to be there all those years ago💜💜💜
Prince was about business 24/7 and his lifestyle expresses this.... Impressive what he accomplished.
This is a true TOUR of Prince's life - not the prepped finished tour they do now. You learn about Prince from these pics. It was organized chaos. He was typical man who's attention span went from one thing to the next. The place is lived in and rarely did he feel the need to have everything in its proper place. He drank 5-hour energy shots; used eye drops; had meds for hearing loss; cool to see his bedroom and bathroom. Underground car port where some videos were shot and his bikes are kept. Each room invokes an emotion and color theme (like my house does). This is a true tour and I GOT MORE from this than I ever would from a tour 2day where they only allow U to see what they made perfect. Thank U!
Lifelinz 4ever Gosh, now he got hearing loss! Where do you come up with these, people???? He wasn’t Beethoven for God’s sake!
Ringing ears @ 19:53 pic related to most long-term musicians; ie hearing loss was starting. Phil Collins had to stop touring because of it.
I agree with you!
Rita50: I'm a musician and sound engineer = 100's of shows... my ears do ring. They're ringing right now, but I can still hear a pin drop, or a whisper, or someone smacking.... stop smackin that gum, close yo mouth! I have yet watch the video....
Lifelinz 4ever Amen! Best tour I had ever experience!
This made me start crying all over again. I have been to PP in December 2016. It was so emotional....STILL IS. 4-ever loved; 4-ever missed; 4-ever in my shattered heart. RIP PRINCE. :(
He had an Aunt in Vincent Al, she was so sweet I really loved her...she and her daughter ( his cousin) would always keep my boys alot for me while I finished seeing my patients...yes I'm a former cna and I did hospice... when you would look at his aunt, you would see him!!! When you saw him you saw his aunt!!! They were so much alike it was so unreal...they both had the same style of hair, their facial features, their bodies structure as well... I will always remember them and the family and so will my boys ( which they are grown young men now) with lots of love for the families and respect as well...
This has what to do with prince?
🎵💜🌌
Despite the indiscretion it shows clearly what brain and how industrious Prince was, to set up all this at an early age. So at the end, I appreciate the upload. A clear role model for young generations, not to waist time but to go for your dream right away. He created a lot our jobs for many people and also influenced many with his creativity and talent as well as he was a magnet for other talents. As soon as he picked up momentum, he used it the right way; I clearly see him in line with other successful people, no matter what business they are in.
One has to remember this was Prince home for the better part of 30 years. In most of our homes there are areas that we do not use that often and yep they can get cluttered. At the end of the day Prince was just like us except he had a musical gift. I am just sorry we got to see what he would more than likely never wanted to share .. rest in purple paradise Prince
What if God was one of us?...just a slob like one of us? ;)
Robin Brown i
First thought? Fire the housekeeper! Second thought? This is a nice way to humanize someone that I have idolized for many years. Third thought? Wow do I miss him.
Joe Turner ^ Best comment.
Joe Turner i agree..this made him appear very normal!! Lol he is human but seemed so out of touch!! I liked this video but see so many negative remarks! I dnt think we are being disrespectful by trying to see how he REALLY lived. We ain't degrading him..
We're not supposed idolize humans
I so love Prince, there will never be another like him.
I love prince but it sure looked like a very lonely place to live
I'm not so sure about that. People were constantly their. Other bands recorded while he recorded his own stuff. Then there was his h r department and pretty much this whole business side of things that probably ran 24/7. Plus party's. So doubt it was lonely
Phyllis peace I agree. The home looks like the way I imagine him to have felt lonely, depressed, tired, given up😢💔
yes 😞 his Spirit still roams there SomeTimes 🌌
@Phyllis peace Of course it looks lonely. There are no people in the pictures.
He even said everyone who worked with him he wanted them gated in paisley with him and they could be one big family. If that doesn’t make you say awe and tear up ion know what will
Just imagine how much stuff was stolen out of there? Probably like 75% of things have been stolen I bet???
makemydayinthisworld I doubt it. Police presence was non stop.
PRINC-S 7147 I would hope the presence of police stopped the theft...but maybe it stopped 25% of the theft? Just thinking
makemydayinthisworld I said the same thing I’m willing to bet some stuff was definitely stolen! You just know it was, there was so much there!!
Some stuff could’ve been stolen by the police
Not My Real Name Anything is possible. But idk if they could really do anything with it. As far as expensive jewlery. Usually has serial numbers on them. My brothers friend wore 150,000 of ice in town. His bracelet was stolen. But never pawned in a shop. It's harder to get rid of for regular people. I don't know who does that kind of business. Like Brady's stolen jerseys they eventually caught the thief.
"Put ELEVATION in cursive next to my elevator." - Prince
I was expecting more of a huge amazing home, instead this is more of a office space for music, I never expected this place to look this way. Thank you for uploading~
He was very dedicated to music.It's everywhere!Furniture or decor are second or even inexistent.Such passion and genius and creativity!Rest in Peace Love Symbol!
It makes perfect sense to have one's living quarters in the same building as offices and recording studios. Thank you for sharing. The colours are bright and
cheerful. It would be a wonderful place to create music
ok so PP was basically an artsy office building. i can dig it.
Although Prince was photogenic and rarely took a bad photo, I wonder if he got tired of seeing a shrine of pictures of himself?
His home looks so industrial, like a multistory car park/decaying 1980s shopping centre. How strange for such a colourful larger than life character
He probably was only into his music
Man, I would have loved to have my room decorated floor to ceiling with pictures of Prince when I was a teen. Those rooms at the beginning of the video were AWESOME!!! TBH, I’d still want a room like that but my husband would probably not be too happy. lol
My tears are stuck in my throat. The memories of Prince are vast. Yet, viewing the photos of Paisley is so disheartening. It appears to be an empty castle without the "Prince." God, I miss him so much.
My gosh, for a guy that was always so well presented this place is underwhelming to say the least. So uncoordinated style and colour wise, it's quite a surprise. I loved the mystery behind Prince but now I feel like I just creeped through his personal stuff and it doesn't leave me with a good feeling. These pictures should have never been published. RIP 💜
This bland decor may not be what you expect from Prince, but its goes to show that it was all about the music, not the interior decorating.
Thank you so much for uploading this video. I've been wondering what it's like inside Paisley Park of a while now. What an AMAZING PLACE built by an AMAZING ARTIST!!!! Just wondering now what will happen to it.......RIP PRINCE ROGERS NELSON!!!! You are truly missed!!!
Very beautiful home. In a couple of pictures it looks like you can see a little bit of Prince's spirit. He will always be one of my favorite artists. REST IN PEACE PRINCE
I just broke into tears...................he should be there now................I am forever sadden...RIP.....Prince....
THANKyou sooo much for this!!! Really means a lot that you took the time to put this on UA-cam. I’ve imagined and wondered for so long what the inside of Paisley Park looks like. I really appreciate seeing this!! Prince will always be a genius to me. Seeing where he created and spent his time is just beyond my wildest dreams- thank you again! 🤗😘
I want to go there sooo baddd!!! I told my mom and dad, instead of having a graduation party for me when I graduate high school, going to Paisley Park instead, hehe😂💜 I don’t need no party, Paisley Park is where I’m going to, lol💜😁
The video shows the before and after the purchase of PP. Over time Prince finished his final masterpiece; his legacy....It has officially been declared a Museum in Minnesota. Prince planned this years before his passing. People who make rude comments can easily be overlooked when you see a man and his lifelong ability to focus and make his dream a reality from such an early age. THIS was his master plan! Love him or hate him, but respect him!
Fortysomething BadGirls
AMEN. 💯💯👏👏
Prince was a star, but from looking at his home pics, he used the same items like everyday people: Visine, Kleenex, lotion, etc.
19:53 i’m over here freaking out that prince used the same Ponds as i do and at 9:05 the same Argon Oil Shampoo as i do 😂😂😂
Paisley park needed and update and had a crazy floor plan but I’ve always wanted to see it so thanks !
So talented yet ppl are focused on how neat or messy his place was,smh.Ppl are strange.Thanks for sharing your talent Prince,RIP.🕊☮🕊
I can see some stuff is interesting to see like the house but when you go into cabinets and drawers and show pills and stuff is kind of an invasion of privacy and it feels wrong. and also how do we know they didnt ransacked the place before the pics were taken. thats what it looks like in some stills.
The Art Channel this is from the police investigation of course they are going to take photos of pills lol this is not about privacy it's about documenting everything
but not for public consumption.
"Because the Carver County Attorney’s Office will not pursue criminal charges, “the vast majority” of data related to the investigation has been made available to the public under the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act. This means a staggering amount of data related to Prince’s death, including graphic images from the death scene, is available for anyone to download via the Carver County Sheriff’s website. “Minnesota has a very open and transparent process as it relates to data-even criminal investigative reports and photos of crime scenes,” the County Attorney’s Office press release notes."
pitchfork.com/news/massive-amount-of-prince-death-investigation-evidence-released/
The Art Channel alot of pics didn't look like that when my friend was alive, he would never allow none of this crap people are doing to him.
All those rooms were emptied out, he had them filled with beautiful, normal furniture and art work and it's gone.
Prince was a human being..why does this matter now..this is very personal to the person that once lived here..rip Prince love you..
a part of me FEELS a lot has been Scavenged through, Violated. It is So SAD that there are many that JUDGDE Him. There is No Words to describe Prince! His Music and Soul [which to me Are the Same] shall ALWAYS Flow through Everyone And Everything!
Tina Knezha Nice comment, totally agree with you, some of the comments on here smh
Look like police dept released all these shots of the mans home.don't think his people would do this knowing how private of a person prince was.
Jacqueline Perry Yes it's all online. With every court documents. His family has no control or say about this. It's really sad and total invasion of Prince's privacy. 😕
Jacqueline Perry I’m grateful
The cops made the mess, hoping to find illegal drugs taken pictures after they mess each room up. This man had enough money to hire house cleaning people to come by each day or week in order to keep clean. Yet, the cops fuck up his shit, making it seem like this man was nasty and messy.
Fred Rilley - You're absolutely right Fred. All this was released on The Carver County website. Prince was a neat man. Even though it was a studio. He wouldn't have items all over on the floor. Prince did pretty much live there the last few years. His living quarters were emaculant. I don't see the purpose behind releasing these photo's. Total disrespect of Prince, his family and us his purple fam!!💜 To trash his home. And not have any care for his personal belongings. Some that cannot be REAL FAM!! Seem to think or believe Prince was messy. He was HUMAN like us. I'm sure he had his days. As I've said he has 40 years of special designed outfits. I believe was 600+ of them. His shoes to match, hats and so on..... Complain to the Carver County Police is all I can say.☺
PRINC-S 7147 Yes and his death photos have me upside down again 😥 I've never seen this much released from any other celebrity.... Disgrace... 💜 We are preparing petitions for a grand jury request. Be on the look out for it. We need as many signatures as possible!!
I only love the downstairs I seen on my tour. He spent a lot of time and creativity on that. I think upstairs as it shows here, the bedroom looks like it's the only thing worthwhile up there. That room is dope. I never seen upstairs or in that other egg shaped building next to the actual main house. The downstairs is bananas with the studios and the soundscreen/stage area where you can see his cars, pianos and all his outfits while rocking out to his music playing.
His bikes, his boots, his hats, his home/ studio. It looks like Prince and others did a lot of work there. Paisley Park looks huge, i would get lost. I love the style of the rooms very cool!
This cant be all the pictures, because some are repetes and just not relevent.
Prince i miss you 🕇🕇🕇🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜

It isn't.
It isn't! I went for an hour tour last year & I only seen 3 rooms from these pictures.
Thanks for the tour. Amazing art work through out the place. I knew he had a very large catalogue but wow.
He was an icon. No doubt, but wow his home reminds me of a warehouse type building converted poorly into a home. I would think a man of his caliber would be in a super modern home. I cried when I saw the purple rain bike though. Amazing and sad.
My frist time seeing these photos huge fan seen him in concert back in the day. Really miss him I would totally loss myself in all that house and I could never utilized all that space. WoW except for the actual size of the home and all the space and different rooms inside he lived quite humble. And according to his decor he kept things pretty simple for the most part. Still looks like a big office building to me
Now we know how men really want to live. Lots of boxes of supplies, biiigg kitchen, a hot car, tools.
It's so sad how it all ended 💔
Paul Roadz Yes it is. !!!!!!
Paul Roadz im sure he never imagined it this way either. Not having a true WILL in place was all his fault though. He was 57'ish and sitting on a furtune. I guess he really didnt have anyone he loved enough to hand it all over to when he passed. He thought he'd live to be 100 i guess. That OD the wk before his death was his final wake up call. Now his crazy sister sitting on the mountian he built and she aint about nothing.
No more wire hangers! These pics tell a better story than any high priced tour. P love
I was surprised to see wire hangers
That big bank like vault door and no will? Still don't believe that.
It has never made sense to me either. And he had already started discussing ideas with friends about how to turn Paisley into a museum. But he didn't plan for what would happen with his prodigious volumes of music or his wealth? Not like him AT ALL to leave his music out there with no directions on who would assume care of his musical legacy. Mayte said in 2016 or 2017 interview that he indicated he had a will around the time they got married and she was pregnant (1996) so the business of the missing will NEVER smelled right to me...
Lee Harrison
MmHm.
Someone stated on a different post when Prince 'FIRST' had passed away, that there WAS a 'Will' FOUND, but the 'Industry' or WHOEVER found Prince's Will DID NOT like what was stated in the 'Will', so the Will was destroyed. So, the evidence is 'GONE' and NO PROOF, or a trail of a Will being EVER even existing in the first place.
SHAMEFUL/WRONG.
💯💯👎👎
no one who knew him would believe he didn't have a will, he was about business/agreements on paper 4Real4Real!
That was awesome! Thank you for posting this!
It’s a shame people are doing this to this man that gave his mind, body an soul to the world. Prince was also a neat freak so they really messed his place up
Lorie Willis too right and so sad
Thieves in the Temple
Stephanie Arceneaux Yeah and he made the video there to
Stephanie Arceneaux oh ! My God. Your right ! Thieves in the temple.
"Thieves in the temple" Well said.Things were probably walking out of there all along.He deserved so much better.It pisses me off that he was done this way.He was a genius so he already knew what was up and then the video came out.I hope it made the ones that stole from him cringe.
I love that most if not all the bed rooms had a theme and one solid glass window love it
Just one of his personal musical instruments is probably worth a 1/4 mil, I can't begin to imagine what that vault with all that unreleased music he recorded is worth. The man was as much a legend as MJ
The staff of paisley park enterprises had it all organized and maintained the grandeur of paisley park since they made it to a museum. All the stuff and personal belongings of prince have put it into proper place.
Lilet Sky How do you know?
Christina von Siebenbürgen paisley park is being managed by the Graceland holdings , inc the same management that manages elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis.
Lilet Sky Thank you. I saw his Masters of his recordings in the video. I am just concerned where they are now and who thinks they own them or have control to compile and release new collections from them. An amusement concern such as you mentioned has no legal right to own or withhold yhem. As far as I know, the family members who inherited everything have no clue what to do with them. Such a sad situation, since he went to such lengths to get and keep them out of the hands of the record company which he contracted with. I am sure there is a distribution deal somewhere, but since he left little to no instructions, their fate may be up in the air.
I wish he had given me the option to work with them.
Prince was too much into his music , depressed & lonely he didn't take care of himself
This was Princes version of Versailles and he was the king surrounding himself with musicians, celebrity chefs and purple furniture.
I want his home to become some sort of museum of memories to him but on the other hand PRINCE was such a private man, it may be disrespectful. Thank you PRINCE for my favorite music of all time!
Very interesting! And yes, Prince would have appreciate the creativity using different music. He was a very creative person who enjoyed, wrote, and produced all sorts of music. Very well done!!
Princes PP was a work of art. The best way I could describe it is look at Nagel paintings. PP has that same look and feel to it. Other parts of PP are just that of a normal person who does what we all do when we are home.
I would get lost in this house.
Thank you for posting. Incredible.
Couldn't have been further from what I imagined.
A DISGRACE... stuff has been thrown all over..every room is displayed. I hope those responsible for this never have rest in their sprit ....this is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!!!!
Annette Williams The Carver County Police did this. When they searched PP. They had a warrant.
So how did this person get all these photos???
Son of Prince My guess is. They went to the Carver County website. And downloaded it. I was watching another guy briefly I stumbled on. He was on U-tube downloading a file. And couldn't believe how long it was taken. The internet, computers can be evil at times.
They released everything they could legally on Prince and the investigation. So the public can go look at page after page. It's a lot of pages ..... Smh!!
D B Not True!!! I saw photo's of his living quarters. And it is Emaculant!! I can call 2 people I know that worked for Prince & they will tell me. That's a DAMN lie. But I don't have to. Because I already know.... you must be a MJ fan. 😂😂😂 Just Beat It!
D B Why are you so mad & miserable?😂 I didn't realize this was a Spelling Bee. FYI I was a A student in English and spelling. Immaculant, Emaculant I didn't check my DAMN spelling. It's online who cares. OH you do my Bad! You calling people names behind your screen makes you a COWARD & IDIOT!!! Come to Minneapolis and talk that 💩 in front of my Husband. I PROMISE you! You won't ever do it again PUNK!!! Get a life you miserable TROLL. OH DAMN! You don't have one. Sorry about your dumb ass luck!! Come from behind the screen.....💪🤛👊🤜♿🔫 How do you want It? 2-Pac 😁
His relatives should set up Paisley Park as a tourist location like Elvis family did for Graceland. Just don’t let his beautiful creation go to waste because there’s history there that the world could enjoy for years. I would love to see it as Prince left it.
I feel wrong watching this...
Haley Knutson Why?
ArkOmen1 Prince was such a mysterious guy. He kept to himself and part of his charm was the mystery. I feel like I invaded his privacy, I doubt he would allow this to be released if he was alive.
Haley Knutson Ok
So did I!!!
It seems very intrusive, at best.
RIP Prince.
Never worried what people said and quite frankly probably why he stayed to himself...everyone always judging him.
Only thing he had to be concerned with is what God saw and knew.
Yeah I believe he had a relationship with God.
Too many windows! Looks like a converted home office for Budweiser. It also gives the impression that the 80's/early 90's were his hayday..
I worked there for a month. Where are the studios? Place looks ransacked.
Were you a cook?
It was...whoever shot this vid im sure partook in this theft!
Daniel Denholm
What was prince like ?
Stop lying lmfao
Was there a camera inside the elevator?
I would have liked to seen what it looked like before the police trashed it by trying to get some dirt on him
Kevin Lewis
I, Knowwww!! RI-GHT??!!
💁💁
Just an ordinary man with an extraordinary life. Looks like a simple bachelor pad..it was his paradise on earth so good for him, RIP.
Fascinating place. I wonder how much of the overall floor plan was in existence before he bought it, and how much was pure Prince design. Obviously the decor was his design.

Sonia Glennon thank you!
You're welcome :)
I find the comments on this video are so interesting .it seems like most people have notions and ideals as to what it means to be successful, right, good,special, etcetera.give me a break.these are the qualities of a unique being that didn't seem to have any hangups as to what to do with himself. To me it seems like he was living freely exactly how he wanted to. You hear it all the time from him and others He was totally and completely consumed with his art. . One of his concerts on utube u can clearly hear him say we should celebrate our differences. What most of the comments here are telling me that most peoples points of view lack vastness and openness to unconventional lifestyles. How awful..
omg! so excited to go visit Paisley Park🤗Can't wait!
PPL these photos were taken after his death . Had he been living, these photos would never have been taken, much less on youtube. His music would not be on youtube nor in a credit card commercial. Most of his stuff had been removed, ran-sacked and left in total disarray. From what I've heard and read about him, Prince was controlling and untrusting, so, I find it hard to believe that he didn't leave a will because he would have wanted to decide what happens to the things he worked hard to build. I miss Prince. He was my all-time favorite entertainer.
I went to Paisley Park one time and I don't think I'll ever go there again. I'm a huge fan of Prince. To go there was so sad. He would not want people just walking around his house like that. On top of that it just didn't seem right. If he were still alive he would be still rocking out parties and inviting random people to come hang out and enjoy his music. Instead Graceland bought it out and made it corporate. May his music and door in the hearts and souls of those that really understood
this is a wonderful share, but why are we listening to some other bands music?
Trina Johnson I had to mute it. Ughhh! Lol.
Trina Johnson right! I was wondering why his own stuff wasn't being played.
Paisley Park was not Prince's home. It's a recording studio. Production area. It was his place of business. If anyone knew Prince. Should know he had 3 other homes in the area. Not far from his studio. He had other homes outside of Minnesota. He had one in Canada. One of his properties sold. The owners are building a new home there. Because Prince had the house there bulldozed down. The new owners plan to keep the gate up. That Prince had there. I'm sure many have seen this metal gate. If you Google you can pull up all his homes. They are beautiful. Paisley Park is a Studio. Now a Museum. Does it look like a home to you? Or a place of business like a warehouse??? Anyone with common sense would know. Or a person that truly knew Prince period!!
What are you talking about? He did live there! Yes he had other homes but he did live there and record there and shot videos and did live shows. Get your facts straight! Prince fan since 1978
His house was REALLY outdated. He just died a few years ago. Even the computers look from the 80's.
To all those who said the place looks like a mess because the photos were taken after the police went trough - that's not logical at all. The only sense these photos make is if they were taken WHILE the police was there and BEFORE anything was touched or moved, because that's the only reason police take these pictures, to document the state the place was in when police found it. It would make no sense whatsoever for them to take pictures AFTER they went through everything and/or moved stuff. Just common sense. What you see is how the place looked like right after Prince's passing.
That has to be one of the saddest things I've ever seen..
All that music Prince have, you mean to say this was the song to play while you show the compound? The music made his place look like a big mess, maybe that's why you did it, I mean not even a black artist music. Man!!!! SMH 😡
Always gotta be something about race huh. Only a racist would look at this video and think racist crap. I feel so sorry for you and your heart.
Lillian , you are letting the idiot in you shine bright like a diamond
prince passed in 2016, this video was posted 2018, after his family had taken over. looks like they were already working on the museum, these comments about Prince are just mean and inconsiderate.
