Late guitarist's London apartment set to become tourist attraction

Late rock guitarist, Jimi Hendrix may have been dead for 45 years now but his legacy still remains very much with us.

The late singer/song writer's London apartment is set to become a tourist attraction.

The upscale Mayfair property which sits adjacent to where composer George Frideric Handel lived two centuries earlier is where the late Hendrix lived and eventually died at the peak of his career aged 28.

Reports say the Handel House Trust which owns both properties has spent two years and £2.4 million (over N733 million) restoring Hendrix's apartment.With details provided by Hendrix's circle of friends and acquaintances, the apartment has been made to look like it did in 1969 when he lived there at the peak of his career.

Speaking on the project, Alistair Stranack, chairman of the Handel House Trust, said 'it is hard to think of another home in the world with such a concentration of musical genius.'

He added that 'the opening of Jimi Hendrix's flat will give people an added insight into the life and work of a figure whose actions have been examined no end since his death in 1970.'

Tickets for the Hendrix Flat will go on sale on November 2, 2015.

Though born in Seattle, California, United States, Jimi Hendrix shot to stardom after forming the Jimi Hendrix Experience in London and lived there till his in 1970.
