The musician's friends and fans are footing the bill for the purple signs bearing the new name of the highway.
Prince’s friends and fans are footing the bill for the purple signs bearing the new name of the highway, lead sponsor Republican Sen. Julia Coleman of Waconia told The Associated Press.
“Prince was a true genius, a visionary artist who pushed the boundaries of music and cultures in ways that will never be forgotten,” Coleman told fellow senators. “His influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians who came after him, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists to this day.”
The Minnesota House voted unanimously in favor of the name change last month on the seventh anniversary of Prince’s death. The legislation now goes to Gov. Tim Walz, who is expected to sign it, The AP said. “Prince was a true genius, a visionary artist who pushed the boundaries of music and cultures in ways that will never be forgotten,” Coleman told her fellow senators. “His influence can be heard in the work of countless musicians who came after him, and his legacy continues to inspire new generations of artists to this day.”
Among those watching the vote Thursday was Prince’s oldest sister, Sharon Nelson, who told reporters her brother’s music will live forever and that his spirt “sneaks up on me sometimes.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through one of the links on our site, we may receive compensation.
