Inside Prince's Purple Rain house now available on Airbnb

Prince's famous Purple Rain house in Minneapolis, Minnesota will be available to rent on Airbnb in celebration of the movie and soundtrack's 40th anniversary.

The late superstar, who passed away at the age of 57 from an accidental overdose of fentanyl in 2016, purchased the property a year ahead of his tragic death. 

Although the home has been closed to the public for the past nine years, his  Revolution bandmates are opening the doors for a few lucky fans next month.

Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman will be 'hosting the overnight stay,' according to TMZ. 

'We were lucky enough to be a part of the music scene in Minneapolis during such a pivotal era for rock music, playing with Prince in one of the most successful bands of our generation and starring alongside him in the Purple Rain film,' the women told Airbnb.

Guests will also have unprecedented access to the art and music of Purple Rain. 

The stunning home, which was newly restored, has a number of unique features, like purple velvet wallpaper, a vintage 1980s stereo, claw-foot tub, drums and stained-glass windows. 

Fans will also be able to get a look of his closet full of his most legendary outfits.

Airbnb also teased guests will also have a chance to activate a secret 'room filled with treasures' in the house, which requires a 'secret door' to enter.

The space will be available for 25 total one-night stays, starting October 2 at 6:00 AM PT at airbnb.com/prince through October 6 at 11:59 PM PT when request periods close. 

The stays will occur between October 26 to December 14 for up to four guests. 

Each stay will be priced at $7 per person, Prince's favorite number. 

Guests will be randomly selected. 

Earlier this year, it was revealed that a musical adaptation of Prince's iconic album and film, Purple Rain, would premiere in his hometown of Minneapolis next year before making its way to Broadway. 

The announcement was made in February by producer Orin Wolf in a joint statement with former Prince manager and attorney L. Londell McMillan and Founder & CEO of Primary Wave Music Larry Mestel. 

'Prince talked about adapting Purple Rain for the stage for years. It's only fitting that we launch this world premiere musical version in the city where it all began, Prince's hometown, Minneapolis,' the statement read.

'We're very excited for the creative team to be inspired by the Minneapolis sound and the unparalleled and unique spirit of the city that Prince inspired.'

'Minneapolis is where all great things Prince begin. His spirit, energy and legacy live on in the people of our city,' said Todd Duesing, president and CEO of the Hennepin Theatre Trust, as per Star Tribune.

Lileana Blain-Cruz will direct the show, which tells the fictional story of The Kid, an up-and-coming rock musician in the Minneapolis club scene, as he juggles with a stormy home environment, a rival band, and a new romance.

The original rock musical drama film — scored by and starring Prince in his acting debut — was released in 1984 by Warner Bros.

It was directed by Albert Magnoli and written by Magnoli and William Blinn.

The film grossed close to $100 million worldwide and won the Oscar for Best Original Score.

The soundtrack features classics including I Would Die 4 U, Let's Go Crazy, and When Doves Cry.

The soundtrack album also received two Grammys, three American Music Awards, and two Brit Awards. The album remained at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for 24 weeks.

Prince died of a self-administered Fentanyl overdose in 2016. The singer's death was ruled an accident, and the only listed cause on the medical examiner's report was 'Fentanyl toxicity'.

The autopsy report also revealed that the 5ft 3in singer weighed just 112lbs at the time of his death, and that he was dressed entirely in black (cap, pants, shirt, socks and boxer briefs) when his unresponsive body was discovered on April 21 inside an elevator at his Paisley Park estate just outside Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Prince combined rock, R&B, soul, disco and hip-hop to create a unique sound that led to him selling more than 100 million records during his 40-year career, and earned him seven Grammy Awards.

In July, it was reported Prince's estate had not agreed to sign off on a years-in-the-making docuseries at Netflix due to its nine-hour length.   

Although the streaming giant is reportedly 'confident a compromise can still be worked out,' the pop music icon's estate feels that Ezra Edelman's final cut 'violates their initial agreement.'

Previously, the estate signed a deal approving the idea of a six-hour series in 2018, two years after Prince tragically died of an accidental overdose of fentanyl at age 57.

The streamer and estate are now reportedly locked into a standstill as Edelman, 49, reportedly is 'not interested in a truncated version' of the film. 

Initially Academy Award nominee, Ava DuVernay, was set to direct, but Edelman took her place more than four years ago.

'It’s unclear what exactly peeves them but one source insists it’s not revelations of drug use or sexual stuff,' Puck reports. 'Instead, the estate argues there are things in the film that are inaccurate.' 

Until they come to a compromise, it is alleged that the documentary is being 'held hostage.' 

Meanwhile, Edelman has completed the project and is said to have 'even hosted screenings for family and friends last year.' 

Further complicating the matter, Prince's estate was divided in two in 2022, so the director needs approval from both sides (Prince's family and those that manage his rights). 

A music insider told Page Six that it is Prince's executors' job to protect his legacy 'with kid gloves' and as a whole his estate is 'incredibly nitpicky.' 

'You never saw Prince release anything subpar. Everything was carefully curated and fine-tuned. The estate still holds that high standard,' the source continued.

The insider went on to claim that the 'current version of the project does not accurately portray the legendary Prince.'

Still the estate hopes for the documentary to be released once 'when it is ready' so that 'the world can celebrate his extraordinary life and work.'
