Prince Estate Will Open Unreleased Music Vault for 2023 Celebration at Paisley Park

(Rolling Stone) Prince’s private estate Paisley Park will crack open his vault of unreleased music during the location’s annual event, Celebration. Scheduled for June 9 through 11, the gathering at the late musician’s famous recording studio, museum, and concert venue in Chanhassen, Minnesota will host an exclusive presentation of the music he created prior to his death in 2016.

“For me personally, as one of the heirs, I can’t speak for all of them, I don’t mind if people hear the small stuff — the little stuff where he’s just sitting there playing with the piano and how he put it together,” Prince’s sister Tyka Nelson told Rolling Stone in 2021. “That might teach some little boy that wants to learn how to put a song together. We never know. Anything and everything, get it out there. If I live 100, 200 years, I would definitely be there helping to oversee getting it out. But Prince’s music will outlive me for sure.”

The vault reportedly holds thousands of unreleased records. In 2021, his estate released Welcome 2 America, which Prince recorded in 2010 but never released. The music played at the Paisley Park Celebration will only account for a tiny percentage of it.
