The late pop superstar Prince will have a highway named after him in his home state, following a vote by Minnesota lawmakers Thursday.
Sharon Nelson told reporters her brother’s music will live forever, and that his spirit “sneaks up on me sometimes.” And she urged fans to take the tour and see his 3,000 shoes on display.
The idea to name the highway after Prince came three years ago from Mark Webster, a longtime friend of the star who works security at Paisley Park. He was among the fans who gathered at the Minnesota Capitol to celebrate the vote. He said they'll find a date that works for fans soon for the signs to go up.The singer, songwriter, arranger and instrumentalist broke through in the late 1970s and was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2004.
Several years ago, Prince's 1984 “Purple Rain” was added by the Library of Congress for preservation in the National Film Registry. After a six-year legal battle that consumed tens of millions of dollars, the Internal Revenue Service and the estate administratorat $156.4 million. Since Prince died without a will, his six surviving siblings at the time of his death were designated as his heirs. The three youngest eventually sold most of their interests to the music company Primary Wave.
