Cindy Ord / StringerPurple Rain was released in the summer of 1984. Not only a successful album, but a successful film as well. Prince was flying high from all the fame, so it's fair to assume the tour bus he lived in during that summer, probably has some stories to tell. Well, now that bus is headed to auction, to make one super fan very very happy.
The 1983 Eagle Model 10 doesn't look like a superstar ride from the outside, but once you know it belonged to the Purple One, it would be hard to miss. Painted in white, gray and deep purple, the luxury RV doesn't seem so fancy on the outside. But the inside is a different story. Complete with mirrored backsplash, leather seats, and purple lighting, this home away from home is all Prince.
The tour bus was also shared with Prince's band, The Revolution, while on tour. It heads to auction next month in Houston.
