Prince's friend: you are correct. His soul is gone, his spirit lingers, and the body doesn't matter any longer.

[@PrincesFriend]

🙏💜💜

[@frnlam6426]

Prince s persona is one of the greatest of all time. His memory is in the hearts of millions who loved him. He's Always with Us. Love.

[@joancummins4512]

I agree Princes spirit is there, and he was a private person. Prince's wishes to have a private memorial is evident of that. RIP Prince

[@aamlam]

You make some valid points regarding his ashes. I got a little emotional when I heard they moved them, but at the end of the day it is their family business, and he’s at Paisley Park regardless. I would love to go someday...

[@PrincesFriend]

Oh it’s a great place to visit. Definitely do it one day.

[@giacominadingeo5617]

Everyday I think of Prince. Everyday I listen to His Music. Everyday I see His beautiful face on the pictures on the walls of my home. For me He will live forever. Often I talk with His Spirit. His ashes are are not so important. Better, His ashes remind me that He passed. And this makes me to come very sad.

[@michealknightknight2047]

Can they just respect him, please.

[@PrincesFriend]

do you see moving his ashes out of the public and to a different place in Paisley Park to be respectful or disrespectful?

[@artfull334]

Prince's Friend respectful to remove them from public view

[@justicetruthforprince6459]

@@PrincesFriend It was put in the basement. Most people put Urns in their homes or at a burial site. What does their actions by his family tell you about how they feel about him. They can do as they please but would you put a love one's ashes in your basement hidden from view. Even your own view.

[@dorothyedwards7225]

I can't believe I seriously did not know this until now! Oh Wow!!! Oh My God!!😯💟💜💜😢😪

[@dorothyedwards7225]

Thank you Eloy❣💜

[@revampnation9492]

Yes they are in a mini version of Paisley Park in the atrium.. unless they moved it. I’ve seen it myself and was able to kneel in respect.

[@PrincesFriend]

Yup, they moved them out of the atrium, and moved them out of public view. That was what I was addressing. Cheers!

[@angusmacskye4476]

Why would you kneel to the ashes of a human?

[@revampnation9492]

Angus MacSkye as a musician, Prince was one of my biggest heroes. I knelt in respect. Hope you can understand that.

[@helenfountain5336]

Prince would'nt want drinking and smoking in his Castle. Through prince's music he teach us love compassion and other things. And still they don't get it. One of Prince saying, I live in the world but I'm not of it.

[@beautifulstrange7255]

Princes ashes should be there that was his home, his life, where he made his music, where he played his music and wrote it. His home was his life. That is where his legacy, mind, spirit, heart and soul was.

[@DrSimpleBeauty]

First, its hard to imagine such a beautiful man to be reduced to mere ashes. Second, I wouldn’t care where they are. My mind and spirit only think of him and connect to him in a way that can’t be contained either.

[@PrincesFriend]

Exactly

[@galrosenberg7727]

Exactly what I think. This beautiful man will always be in his skin for me and his soul lives deep in my heart

[@galrosenberg7727]

Prince himself spoke of the importance of the soul. The body... well, we live in a parade right?! He is everywhere within and without us. So for me, his ashes are just a physical symbol of his existence and it really doesn’t matter where they are

[@PrincesFriend]

Yes. 💜💜

[@susanperron2703]

You were right. I was one of the ones that lost my mind a little bit LOL in three weeks I will finish his portrait I started on my arm it looks so beautiful so far it's of him in the early eighties Purple Rain days but the colorful suits and a purple guitar. The guy who is do my arm is such an amazing tattoo artists I'm so glad I waited. I'm so glad you are on here talking about this you make everything seem so much better and you teach us all more about Prince

[@PrincesFriend]

Awww thanks

[@shannon2me425]

Totally agree with your perception on this. His energy is there no matter what!! 💜💜🦄💜🦄💜🦄💜🦄💜

[@PrincesFriend]

Yes! 💜🙏

[@kandikane923]

Awee, i was planning a trip to visit Paisley Park in summer and was hoping to see urn with Princes ashes, in hopes this would give me some closure to his death, it still hurts he is gone and i really don’t have the closure i’m needing. it’s weird i know, 3 years later and still grieving over someone i don’t know but only through his music, interviews, his friends and family. It would be nice if the estate, please allow the Urn to remain on display. for his many fans/friends who still as yet wants to come to pay their respects to Prince by visiting his beautiful home were he worked so hard, please Nelson family let the Urn stay. Prince dearly missed, may his legacy live on forever. 💜

[@PrincesFriend]

It’s not weird at all. As a matter of fact, in Confucian belief, 3 years is the minimum you should mourn a parent, and to a lot of us Prince was like that. The estate doesn’t have any control over the ashes, that’s the family who made that call. But what I’ll say is that Prince is everywhere in Paisley Park, regardless of the physical location of his ashes. Definitely go and pay your respects

[@jennyh444]

Kandi Kane I agree I want to go to Paisley as well, and felt seeing the urn would give me closure. Unfortunately,I don't think I will ever have closure, but still plan a trip to Paisley as I am only a 4 hour drive away. Hopefully this summer.

[@apartment306]

The most important thing to me as a "Prince Fanatic" is the music. I don't want to see any ashes, or a photo of Prince dead in an elevator, or what happen to the gold bars found his house. I love the music. It's the music of Prince, that I'm thankful for, and the art that we haven't heard or seen, that Prince left behind for use to enjoy. That's what's important. Let's make this annual trip to enjoy each other and the museum dedicated to an artist(of which is born once in maybe a century) . Let's enjoy Prince's Music not his ashes. Question? Are there any concerns about Beethoven's, Hendrix"s, or Michael Jackson's ashes? Just asking.

[@PrincesFriend]

I’m not a member of those communities so I can’t answer that. But I agree with you otherwise lol

[@sirreginaldlee3576]

You can't tell ppl what to enjoy. Some ppl like to see dead bodies

[@teresaalexander8560]

I'm okay with the family moving the ashes. I would just rather remember him alive. I don't think I would want to see the ashes. Awesome review as always.

[@PrincesFriend]

Thanks! 🙏

[@tonydeltablues]

As ever, a careful, considerate, proper and genuine take on the issue. I have to agree with you Prince's Friend - you speak sense and give a positive take on Prince's legacy.

[@PrincesFriend]

I appreciate that. 💜💜

[@dublinbred]

I just want to remember prince for the beautiful music and memories he left behind for his fans and future fans, his legacy will be endless.

[@serSER369]

When I went on the PP tour in June 2017, we were told the ashes were in the replica of PP that was above us on the wall, in the atrium. We really couldn’t see the urn/replica of PP, so I don’t understand the big deal with moving his ashes. They weren’t visible when they were “available to the public”. Even that distance seemed odd to me, knowing Prince was a private person, I couldn’t imagine him wanting something as personal as his own ashes available for public scrutiny. To me, this decision, no matter what it is, belongs to the family and is not open for public debate. Period.

[@PrincesFriend]

Truth. And that’s true. When I did see the urn, I saw it from underneath because it was put up high and out of reach so people couldn’t mess with it. But they also couldn’t see the actual beauty and design of the urn in the first place. So we were told the ashes were there, but all we saw was translucent plexiglass.

[@AH-yk4eb]

As for the ashes being there or not doesn’t matter. His spirit is alive and will always be. There are times when I listen to his music that I can feel his presence and find myself speaking to him and telling him how much I miss him.

[@PrincesFriend]

Yes! 💜💜

[@janettepearl-snyder4828]

"Sharing the love of Prince"..That is exactly what you have done! Kudos to you my friend....💜💜💜

[@PrincesFriend]

Thanks so much Janette. That’s means a lot.

[@tracylcarter]

When I did the tour... many in my group had a bad reaction. A couple people started crying. I had to walk away so I didn't cry too.

[@PrincesFriend]

Is that a bad reaction? Or is that a good reaction? That’s hard to tell.

[@tracylcarter]

@@PrincesFriend well this one woman gasped then she was sorta wailing in morning... which caused others to cry and well not a good start for the tour.

[@PrincesFriend]

Oh wow! So definitely not happy tears. Oh man.

[@helenfountain5336]

I agree Prince spirit is going to be there forever. Let the purple one RIP.

[@PrincesFriend]

💜💜

[@ritalabelle1]

Ultimately it is really not our business where his ashes are that is a Family decision I would never want the public to tell me where my loved ones ashes should be put. I am remembering the love I always felt through his music since 1978 when I first went crazy for him we are his purple family and they are his family by blood it's their decision

[@valalyn1385]

Agree completely with you ! We don't need no ashes! We have memories. Let his family do as they wish. Respect!

[@mindoknows8924]

I think in the beginning, it was a tad shocking, but,then I thought it's kinda appropriate for kind of a public form of saying goodbye I guess for some people? I think it's ok by now to remove them, or put them somewhere else special as a memorial maybe ? But, I personally, was in shock to see him "go to ashes so quickly", it was a lot to take at one time!!! I totally agree with u tho PF, his spirit is all over😇😇💜✌

[@PrincesFriend]

I appreciate you POV on this m topic. Thanks for sharing it for sure. :)

[@Mayssoun3121]

I don't believe they are , those vultures never respected him

[@stefonwilliams9790]

Prince spirit is in our hearts ♥️ 4ever and ever Rest in heaven our angel 👼

[@PrincesFriend]

Yes! 💜💜

[@vampreniadutchess1410]

Prince loved his supporters.His spirit watches over all his supporters.Prince may be standing next to you at a bustop and you would never know it spiritually,unless he allowed you to see him.He pretty much reached God status in life,so if you call out his name,he will hear you.He is young again and looks way he did in 1984.He can wear regular clothes now in his dimension and walk around in public without ppl noticing him.If you ever see him anywhere do not stare at him.He hates being stared at.He once fired a staff member for starting at him.Also,he uses his smart phone alot now.He loves text messaging.I had a near death experience in November and saw him here in Baltimore December 12th.Nobody looks like Prince at age 26 but Prince,ya know? He didn't say anything,but was mad I kept staring at him.He definitely didn't even wanna be noticed,really.We just switch to another dimension to a younger body when we die.That dimension is very similar to here. I messaged Princes sister about Dec 12th,but she wasn't amused.She blocked me.I think if she ever has a near death experience maybe she will get to see her brother for herself,if he wants her to see him.

[@helenfountain9276]

Prince spirit will always be in Paisley Park. It's going to be five years since this beautiful soul was taken from us. There isn't a day that I don't think about him. I took a long vacation and I'm glad I'm back home now. I'm also glad to be back to Prince Friend channel.

[@PrincesFriend]

Good to see you again! Lots of catch up on and even more to come!

[@lp9155]

I don't know what is right. This is a very personal issue, highly subjective.

[@PrincesFriend]

Pretty much

[@Anabee399]

I was initially devastated to hear that the contents of Prince's Vault were extracted from his home and the ashes relocated. However, Paisley Park has become a shrine and commercial business, then for family privacy and security alone they needed to be elsewhere. Even so, I wonder if some of the vault contents were illegally compromised after the relocation. Personally, Prince's royal ambiance reigns in the state of Minnesota. I was that sickly grieved person that vacationed there for two weeks the last two years on my "All Things Prince Quest." I obsessively sat and drove around his neighborhoods several hours envisioning and wishing for a glimpse of him on Earth. However, his aura and memorabilia remain at Paisley and across the World for our imagination and recollection. As Prince sang, " Paisley Park Is In Your Heart."

[@PrincesFriend]

Exactly. And I can’t even act like I haven’t reacted to things in the moment (remember my terrible iron mountain videos) but I’ve kind of calmed down since then and I’m approaching stuff like this in a more balanced way.

[@Anabee399]

@@PrincesFriend Now that's hilarious.

[@beckywillard337]

I personally don't care that they have been moved. His Spirit, Heart, and Soul is in his music.

[@PrincesFriend]

Even better

[@helenfountain5336]

Thank you PF.

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank YOU!!!!

[@santelder]

Being in U.K. I cant afford to go to Paisley Park .Friends of mine who have been say they feel his spirit there some say the recording studios .so they don't need them to feel him there. Maybe the family put them upstairs in Prince's Private apartments .

[@PrincesFriend]

From what I heard, they are in a lower room, not an upper one, but yup! Agreed!

[@BUTTERFLYLOVEHUGS]

YES PRINCE'S SOUL LIVES ON..... WELL SAID.....

[@PrincesFriend]

🙏💜

[@MMM-hx3ye]

Body goes back to dust and it really should be laid to rest properly with a decent burial. The Spirit goes to God. For the final judgement..after death judgement.Sorry to disappoint...he isn't lingering anywhere on Earth. What you feel and see in Paisley are memories and history. The heart of that place has stopped beating the day he was no more on Earth. He is waiting for the day of Christ Jesus return when the real forever after Party begins. Just hope that his name is on roll list. My heart believes it is. Agape

[@qsolomon71]

I agree with you. After seeing him in person, seeing his ashes wouldn't have helped at all. We should celebrate and show appreciation for a person while they are here. Peace and love fam.

[@lillyreily2348]

It doesn't matter to me where there at. I agree with you totally about they don't have to be there his spirit is. Thank you for making this video❤❤

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank you!

[@aprilwest9852]

Prince was very private. Would he have wanted his burial urn on display ??? I don't think so.

[@charlye6380]

I agree

[@justinecarter3064]

im glad they arent out in the open, that'd be hard for me to look at. they should be somewhere in the house he spent alot of time (studio A, his private quarters, the kitchen etc. whatever lol).

[@Jamie2Starr]

Well said.

[@Thespeedrap]

I didn't even know Prince ashes were at the place I thought he just left ashes in the ground beside the place.

[@michealknightknight2047]

Respect him by just letting him rest, also show the ashes to the public so that we can all respect, forever more.

[@jeanlock8556]

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank YOU jean

[@sherribaker1546]

Agreed!!

[@seand67]

The Urn looked corny IMO.....it's for the best

[@RnB4Sure]

I thought that Prince wanted his body/ashes placed in the circular building next to the larger building. The building from an aerial view is supposed to appear to have an eye on the roof. It could be symbolic of something we are not privy to know being that Prince was often a mystery. Maybe Prince had his reasons for wanting his remains there. IF THIS IS TRUE and not speculation, I think the family should honor his wishes and have his remains placed and secured in the manner he wanted. Regardless of where we think his spirit is, his request is what he wanted not what his family or fans want.

[@kelvendyson1508]

Exactly!! If they are there at PP why put them on display!!! WHY!! Keep them secured!! Just like at Graceland you are not allowed in the upstairs room out of respect!!

[@B.Jewels]

Nobody's ashes should be referred as "Just Ashes' or dirt where is the respect for the deceased!? Yes his there in spirit but to disregard his body as "Who cares' is wrong those ashes are his remains please have some compassion and respect. RIP Prince love u always✝️💜🙏

[@PrincesFriend]

That’s a fair point of view that I’m sure many share. I personally am not concerned with what happens to my body after I’m gone, cause I’m gone at that point.

[@artfull334]

I agree that Paisley represents Prince’s gift of music..and his spirit lives on💜✨✨ His ashes are private and belong to the family. Maybe they wanted them to be scattered somewhere of meaning for Prince and this is something personal for family members

[@PrincesFriend]

🙏🙏💜💜

[@muluemebetkebede205]

Wow!!!!!! is this April’s fools joke that is his home for everyone to come see the late great!!!!! This is unbelievable 💔💔💔🎸☔️💜💜💜🖤🖤

[@PrincesFriend]

Is it? Is the ashes the reason someone would go to Paisley Park? That’s interesting.

[@earthangel2476]

Wow this is a very emotional subject. Your right it's nothing 2 do wiv us. I also went 2 PP in 2017. As soon as the tour started we walked into the atrium the guide told us that above us high up in front of us was the urn containing Princes ashes. The group I was with bowed their heads in respect and some including myself did cry. It was a heart wrenching moment. I'm glad I went when I did 4 me that was a private moment with Prince even though I was in a group. I think we all felt the same. I don't know how I feel about the ashes being taken away...sad I think. Gracelands have Elvis buried next 2 his mother in the grounds. But like u say if Prince was a private person then perhaps it was his wishes. 😢💔💔💜🥀

[@PrincesFriend]

Thank you for sharing your story of your tour here too. It was similar to mine as well

[@alexisrichmond3586]

Maybe some were hoping it would be like Graceland. Just a guess.

[@DerekPool]

I had no idea this happened but in the end, his family should have say over any fans who've most likely never met him.

[@PrincesFriend]

Pretty much

[@annettemigalefisher8641]

Hes everywhere in my eyes

[@PrincesFriend]

Yes

[@dbijoux9421]

I agree totally with you that his spirit is there always.....but I would like to see a safe area maybe built in a wall area at Paisley Park ….a sort of ….respectful final resting place in his home for his ashes. Prince made his world there for many reasons. I feel he'd want to rest there now too. Many years going forward in the future.....who's to say who will be alive to care about what could be happening with his ashes?? An undisturbed permanent shrine could be carved out inside Paisley Park for him. What do you think ?

[@g-lux9485]

I'm glad the family of Prince removed those ashes because it would be just a matter of time when some fool or crazed fan tries to steal them and sell them on some black market shit and that ain't cool!

[@tesswonderful4194]

Your thought is the same as my thought has been. I dont know who these people are who think they even have a right to have anything to do with that decision. Opinions, sure. But writing campaigns? Really? Part of me liked the idea of the ashes being there because it felt like he was home. But they removed them and I am fine with that too. Apparently some family member said three years is long enough to mourn. That isnt his call, so if thats the reason they were moved, its a ridiculous premise. That will not stop people from mourning. Time does that. But in the end its their decision, not ours, and I am ok. My feelings arent affected in the least. Good job PF, as usual. And you agree with what my thoughts were. Even better. 💜😏

[@PrincesFriend]

Totally! I don’t mind disagreements, but it’s nice to know people are of like minds too

[@Ill_Stay_In_My_World]

Once cremated the spirit can no longer cling on Just have the feeling he is inside the large purple symbol Seems suspicious why it's roped off and a box of cement with a gold plaque under it

[@kaylinjacklyn5291]

So is his ashes still in the urn?

[@pamela0673]

He was a VERY private person. It's a little creepy, I would freak out! Respect his family's wishes. We don't own him. Rest in Peace .💜💙 ( I think he would be laughing hilariously if his ashes were out .) Prince is in your 💜.

[@melissar8304]

Im with u 1000% !!!! 1. It is up to the family.....like them or not. 2. Starting a petition trying to demand where his ashes should be was LUDACRIS !!!! 3. Probably the SAME people loosing their minds about the ashes being moved, were probably the SAME people who lost their minds about them being placed there in the 1st place.....

[@PrincesFriend]

Your #3 was kind of the point I was trying to make at the end (although quite ineloquently). People are just mad whenever there's a change. They put them out there and people were mad. they move them and people mad.

[@melissar8304]

You are being polite with ur words, and I understand that like a reporter, YOU have to be ..... Not too outspoken about things so as not to offend anyone~ I on the other hand......have no filter 😁 Prince has to have some of the most complaining, never satisfied fans. It was like that when he was alive, and now it's on steroids.

[@PrincesFriend]

😂😂😂💜

[@lesliemoir4122]

Did Prince not want his ashes to be put on display,,? Is that not why he had the Paisley Park urn made in the first place?? 🤔 I think if that's why, then put the urn and ashes back on public display as Prince himself wanted it to be... shouldn't that be the focus?? Prince's wishes.....not the family,not the Estate, not the fans, and not public opinion.. thank you for your time and consideration. Prayers to all and best wishes.😇😘💜

[@robbhouston5492]

Put them in the vault, behind some master reels...

[@debronjames]

they were moved into the vault. they were not removed from paisley, just the atrium. there were a few reasons why the decision was made but it’s for the better. but he’s all around, no worries 😉

[@latoyahodson150]

[@barbdavis6838]

My Opinion on this issue is, Not all of the Family members agreed to do this, only 2 siblings agreed on it, Sharron did not agree. I read that his ashes were put in the basement vault. Now personally, I wholeheartedly disagree with this, to me it's Disrespectful. That's his home, alway's will be. It's about the Principle meaning 4 me. Yes, his spirit is in PP and alway's will be and I don't believe that the basement vault is appropriate. Much Love to you all. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@crrhough]

I am not convinced he's dead.

[@kcoolmuziq]

I feel the Urn should be back on display in a specially built mausoleum like Prince’s(r.i.p.) sister Sharon suggested. It’ll be the ultimate,respectful, tribute to Prince(r.i.p.)and his legacy . I’m really insulted that U have no compassion about it. Plus disregarded them in this way.

[@PrincesFriend]

In the end, my opinion doesn't really matter. It's not my choice. I have compassion for everyone who mourns Prince's passing, but I'm not of the belief that his ashes have to be present to show him respect. Like I said in the video, the spirit is not tethered to the physical. It's cool to disagree though. I don't expect everyone to think the same as I do. Cheers!

Some people care, but the spirit is everywhere I agree

[@carriebernhardt3989]

People were outraged when Paisley opened and the PP model containing his urn were on display in atrium down on the floor. Then people were outraged when they moved up above the kitchen. Now that the urn was moved reportedly somewhere else in PP. I agree with you. This was a non issue for me. We play respect to Prince by gathering at the house he created for us. We pay respect by promoting his legacy by ensuring next generations hear Prince's music like we did. We pay respect by living everyday treating our fellow man "Love 4 One Another". I can obviously go on and on. We do not need to physically see his earthly ashes/urn to feel his presence and honor him.

[@PrincesFriend]

Definitely
