A special tribute mural to Prince is expected to debut this weekend in Orlando.

Andrew Spear is painting the mural on the courtyard wall of the Hideaway Bar, which is located on Virginia Drive in the Ivanhoe Village neighborhood of Orlando.

"The image I was trying to portray — just trying to get the energy of him as a person and kind of the chaos of his life and how just detailed he was as a person," Spear said. "I think that so many people already kind of related to him musically that just to come by and get a photo with it or throw it around and just show your love for prince."

Prince, 57, was found dead April 21 in his suburban Minneapolis home.

Spear said he knew exactly what he wanted to do to honor Prince shortly after the pop music superstar's death.

"It's like you couldn’t help but be influenced by him," Spear said. "Musically, artistically, visually — anything. I just thought I could do the best of my abilities to show my appreciation for him as an artist."
