With tales from his family and friends, stories about his global travels and details on behind the music that changed pop culture, Prince will share his experiences as one of the most iconic and inspiring artists of all time.
“Prince is a towering figure in global culture and his music has been the soundtrack for untold numbers of people—including me—for more than a generation; his creative genius has provided the musical landscape of our lives. Millions of words have been written about Prince—books and articles, essays and criticism—but we’re thrilled to be publishing Prince’s powerful reflections on his own life in his own incandescently vivid, witty, and poetic voice,” said Spiegel & Grau Executive Editor Chris Jackson.
The book is scheduled for a fall 2017 publication date.
