Prince: The Immersive Experience will launch in downtown Chicago on June 9 at the Shops at North Bridge on the Magnificent Mile. The interactive exhibit created by Superfly in partnership with the Prince Estate offers more than 10 multidimensional spaces that take visitors through the icon’s life, showcasing his musical eras and creative evolution and highlighting his influential sound. Tickets go on sale March 31 at 10 a.m. CT. It will run through Oct. 9 in Chicago.
Another highlight is a room dedicated to Prince’s Diamonds and Pearls era. “So this will be a more central room where it’ll [have] the giant hand torches from ‘Gett Off’ and the candelabras and diamonds and pearls strings. And so that’s going to be a super fun, immersive area as well,” Black says.
One room features a way to interact with the Purple Rain album cover in an unusual way. “You’re going to be able to step in in a Purple Rain album cover,” Superfly co-founder Kerry Black tells Rolling Stone. “Where you can get your photo up on the motorcycle. But we’re also doing a full buildout of the entire street scene, right? So there’s going to be the First Avenue club and a bunch of the stores.”
The Prince estate invited ' 60 Minutes' inside Studio B. We sat at Prince's soundboard with his longtime keyboardist and musical director Morris Hayes.
The '60 Minutes' segment revealed that in its current state, Prince’s vault is more of a minefield than a treasure chest. The challenge, Wortheim summarized, is “monetizing the catalogue while still trying to do right by Prince.
Recently also an previously unheard home studio cassette recording of Prince, Piano & A Microphone 1983, has finally surfaced.
Rolling out across digital music services at midnight, the intimate nine-track project sees the late legend working on such future classics as “17 Days” and “Purple Rain”, “Strange Relationship” and “Mary Don’t You Weep,” which appears in Spike Lee’s new film BlackKklansman.
. Piano & A Microphone: 1983, out September 21, was recorded during a rehearsal at Prince’s home studio in Chanhassen, Minnesota.
