Prince fans wanting to make a pilgrimage in honour of the Purple One will have to head for the otherwise little appreciated US city of Minneapolis. Winston Aldworth compiles a purple path for the devoted to tread.

The club where Prince first performed his epic song Purple Rain has also played host to everyone from Joe Cocker to Husker Du, and from DJ Jazzy Jeff to Nirvana. The Purple One even recorded some of the songs for the Purple Rain album there and the club features prominently in the bizarre movie of the same name.
