You'll soon be able to tour Prince's legendary home in Minnesota
Fans will soon be able to pay homage to the late Prince in the music legend's own home.
Starting on Oct. 6, the 65,000-square-foot Paisely Park complex where Prince lived and recorded, will be open to public tours.
"Opening Paisley Park is something that Prince always wanted to do and was actively working on," Prince's sister, Tyka Nelson said in a statement. "Only a few hundred people have had the rare opportunity to tour the estate during his lifetime. Now, fans from around the world will be able to experience Prince's world for the first time as we open the doors to this incredible place."

Prince opened Paisley Park in the Minneapolis suburb of Chanhassen in 1985. Over his life, he landed 47 songs in the Billboard Hot 100 and won seven Grammy awards.
In April, he collapsed in the elevator at Paisley Park and died of an accidental overdose of the painkiller fentanyl. He was 57.
Tickets go on sale Friday and will cost $38.50. The 70-minute tours will be run by Graceland Holdings, which operates Elvis Presley's Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.
Fans will get to see the studio where Prince recorded many of his hits, the soundstage where he practiced for tours, and thousands of artefacts from his archives.
Officials from Graceland Holdings believe that anywhere from 1,500 to 2,000 fans could visit Paisley Park on peak days.
