Believe it or not, it’s been 40 years since Prince’s first hit theaters. The movie, which is loosely based on the legendary performer’s rise to fame has become a pop culture phenomenon and gave us arguably one of the hottest soundtracks ever. Now, just in time for the film’s 40th anniversary, Airbnb, Warner Bros.
Discovery Global Consumer Products and the Prince Estate have teamed up to provide fans with the ultimate experience at the home of Prince’s character, “The Kid,” in the 1984 film. A total of 25 one-night stays between October 26 and December 14 will be available for groups of up to four guests in the home which has been restored and updated with memorabilia and pieces from Prince’s personal collection. You and your guests can take a bath in a claw foot tub inspired by the “When Doves Cry” video, check out some of Prince’s iconic clothes and accessories and have sweet dreams in The Kid’s bedroom.
And the best part – each stay will be priced at just seven dollars per person– a nod to Prince’s favorite number, of course. Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, members of Prince’s legendary band The Revolution, were part of the team that put together an experience that could only come from a Prince fan’s dreams. “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 film,” say We.
