Prince’s Closest Friends Share Their Best Prince Stories. Richard Avedon. From Van Jones to Carmen Electra, publicists to Paisley Park members, those close to Prince Rogers Nelson tell tales—ordinary and out there—of the late legend. He was a legend, a virtuoso, one of the true gods of music.

But he was also (at times, anyway) a person in the world like anyone else. He liked to send goofy Internet memes to his friends. He made really good scrambled eggs. He rode his bike a lot, went to the hardware store, called old friends late at night. Chris Heath spoke with band members, fellow artists, and Paisley Park veterans about the life and times of Prince Rogers Nelson—the real Prince, the man so few people got to know before he was gone.“Really, I’m normal. A little highly strung, maybe.

But normal. But so much has been written about me and people never know what’s right and what’s wrong. I’d rather let them stay confused.” — Prince, 2. Corey Tollefson(Minneapolis- based entrepreneur and fan; attended events at Paisley Park for over 2. The thing that was funny was you never saw Prince [first], you smelled him. He always smelled like lavender.

And you knew when he was there because you'd turn around and go, "Holy shit, I smell Prince." And then, ten seconds later, you'd see him. Kandace Springs(singer; befriended by Prince via Twitter after he discovered her cover of a Sam Smith song online in 2. He smelled like lavender. Dude, I'm not even kidding you. Overtime. My sister burns lavender in my house and I'm, "Oh God, it smells like Paisley Park." That's Prince.

Maya Washington(photographer; befriended by Prince after he discovered her online in 2. Before you meet him, you have the idea of him being this thing: He's untouchable, he's a unicorn, he's a meta- planet. So the first thing I was taken aback by, and a lot of people are taken aback by, is his size. Because I'm short, I'm five three…and he's shorter than me. But, that aside, he is a unicorn. He's somehow floating when he's talking.

Morris Hayes(keyboard player; Prince's longest- serving band member, 1. I remember taking him to the hardware store in my camping van. He wanted to go buy a lock. And we go to Ace Hardware—it's snowing and freezing—and I say, "Okay, Prince, you stay in the car." So I'm picking stuff up in the aisles, I look over, he just cruises by in a turtleneck sweater and his fuzzy boots, and people are looking like, "Oh my God, Prince is in the hardware store!" He comes and finds me and he's got a handful of crap—like, "Can we buy this?" I'm, "What did you do with the car?" He says, "It's out there—it's just running." I said, "Prince, you can't leave the car running—somebody could just steal the car." He said, "This is Chanhassen—nobody's gonna steal the car." So we get out to the car and sure enough it's out there, just running, smoke coming out of the tailpipe. Watch Great Day In The Morning Putlocker. And he's like, "I told you."Carmen Electra _(dancer and singer; discovered by Prince in 1. He never slept—he couldn't sleep.

I would wake up alone: Where'd he go? And his housekeeper said, "He's in the studio." Or he would leave the sweetest little notes on the stairs that would say: "Had to work! Couldn't sleep. Come see me."Springs: I saw his room and all that. His room was so small compared with everything I saw. You'd never expect him to live there.

It was kinda homey—he had this little queen- size bed, and a huge- ass TV, like a 5. He had a little private bathroom right there, a big- ass bathtub in there, and fake palm trees and a tan- colored floor—doing a little beach look. I saw his bathroom because I left my hair dryer at the hotel and I needed to do my Afro for the show, and he let me use his hair dryer. Misty Copeland _(principal dancer at American Ballet Theatre; appeared in a Prince video and live performances): _He never called from a number you'd recognize, so you'd never know it was going to be him. Loved to speak in different accents—British and French…everything.

Sometimes I'd be, "Who is this?" It would go on for a while, and then finally he'd laugh and it would be him. Van Jones: (political activist; met Prince after he tried to make a sizable donation to Jones's charitable organization anonymously): He always said the same thing whenever he was getting on the phone: "This is Prince." Not "How are you doing?" Not "What's up?" Kind of low: "This is Prince."“When people say about me that I live in a prison and don’t go anywhere, it’s just not true. I go to the store, I go to the video store, I go to ballets, movies, the park. I live like anybody else. But I play music every day.” — Prince, 1. Jill Willis(Prince's publicist, 1.

He was always dressed in what could look like show/stage clothes: a couture suit, matching handmade boots from a shoemaker in Paris, his hair done and full makeup. One time, I had taken the red- eye from L. A. to Minneapolis and went home long enough to shower, threw on a baseball cap, jeans, sweatshirt, and drove over to the studio.

I went up the stairs and Prince was coming down the hall from his office. Going fishing?" he asked. Gwen Stefani: The first time I met him, this is my memory: He was wearing an all- purple velour jumpsuit with the collar that goes up, kinda like an Elvis jumpsuit. And high heels and makeup.

He was such a cool, amazing guy that just never turned off. Like, he really was living that version of what you think he was—that was him. Ian Boxill(engineer at Paisley Park, 2.

Even when he was dressed down, he'd dress like Prince: three- inch- tall flip- flops, or these heels with lights—they'd light up when he walked. That was his comfortable clothing. He had no pockets.

You know, if you got people around that can carry phones and money for you, you can get away with that. No pockets and no watch. If he needed to use a phone he'd use my phone or a driver's phone. Hayes: We have a thing called Caribou Coffee in Minnesota, which is like Starbucks. He'd go over there, and he didn't have any pockets. He didn't have a wallet or any credit cards. He just had cash he'd carry in his hand—like, a $1.

And whoever took his order, they'd have a good day, 'cause he'd buy his coffee drink and then just leave the whole hundred. He doesn't wait for any change because he doesn't have anywhere to put it. Van Jones: He was very interested in the world. He wanted me to explain how the White House worked. He asked very detailed kind of foreign- policy questions.

And then he'd ask, "Why doesn't Obama just outlaw birthdays?" [laughs] I'm, like, "What?" He said, "I was hoping that Obama, as soon as he was elected, would get up and announce there'd be no more Christmas presents and no more birthdays—we've got too much to do." I said, "Yeah, I don't know if that would go over too well."Tollefson: In the'9. Paisley Park, without a bodyguard. And then I'd say around 2.

I'm not going to say he stopped caring; he stopped being over the top. He just didn't give a shit. He just walked around and he talked to people. He was always smiling. He'd bring people in, we'd have listening sessions at Paisley.

Hayes: I took him to the bike store and I bought him a bike because he said he wanted a bicycle. I got him all sized up for it, and then I told him, "Okay, Prince, I'm only buying this bike if you get a helmet." And he said, "I don't want a helmet." I said, "Well, I'm not buying this bike, sir, if you don't get a helmet—you have to ride with a helmet or else I can't be responsible for you being on this bike." He says, "Well, I don't want a helmet." I said, "I'll get you a cool one—and I'll get one, too." So we got the helmets, but I found out later that he was riding the bike and he didn't wear it. Tollefson: There's an arboretum, literally down the street from Paisley. And during the day he'd ride his mountain bike around town, and nobody would bother him.

Keith Lowers(longtime fan): Once the lights turned on [after a Paisley Park event in September 2. I left quick because I'm super claustrophobic and can't take the cattle- exit style of most rock shows.
