FeaturesLONDON (Reuters) - Paisley, pop hits and of course purple are coming to London’s O2 arena in a new exhibition of personal memorabilia of the late singer Prince. But organizers said he had a played a role in laying the foundations of the exhibition. “Prince started planning back in the early 2000s to open Paisley Park up for tours – literally writing the first script,” said Angie Marchese, director of archives at the singer’s Paisley Park compound in Minnesota. In addition to showcasing the highlights of Prince’s career, Marchese said that organizers hoped to give visitors a glimpse of the famously reclusive singer’s private side. The exhibition is being held in a venue closely associated with the singer - London’s O2.
