Prince’s Paisley Park Estate is set to become a museum, according to brother-in-law, Maurice Phillips.
“It would be for the fans. He was all about the fans—this would remember his music, which is his legacy,” said Phillips in an interview with The Sun. “Prince was always private but would have wanted his music remembered.”
Since Prince’s death on April 21, there’s been an outpouring of heartache from thousands of fans. Many fans have stopped by the sprawling 50,000 sq. foot home, leaving balloons, letters, and flowers in remembrance for the “Diamonds and Pearls” singer.
Phillips is the husband of Prince’s sister, Tyka Nelson, who reportedly will inherit $800 million after the death of her famous brother.
Prince was found in the elevator of his home and, unable to be revived, died at age 57. The speculations that Prince died from an drug overdose are offensive to Phillips.
“Folks talk mess about folks. We’re too busy passing judgment on other folks than handling our own business,” Phillips told The Sun. “Instead of building people up they are tearing them down—or trying to make a dollar out of them. At the end of the day it’s between that man up there (God) and the individual.”
Prince was cremated on April 22 and was celebrated in a private memorial with close friends and family inside of the home. Fans who were outside the home were gifted purple boxes and photos of the star.
