In what will be one of the most anticipated memoirs in music history, Prince has revealed that he is working on an autobiography that his publishers Spiegel & Grau describe as "an unconventional and poetic journey through his life and creative work." There are no shortages of intriguing topics that Prince can scribe about, from his rise in the Twin Cities music scene (detailed semi-fictionally in Purple Rain), his many muses and his very public fallout with Warner Bros., resulting in a half-decade as "the Artist Formerly Known as Prince." The singer's memoir might also finally corroborate Eddie Murphy's brother's story about playing basketball versus Prince and the Revolution at Paisley Park, as told to Chappelle's Show. In general we do know that Prince will be writing in his own words about his family life, the "people, places and ideas that fired his imagination" as well as the inspiration behind many of his classic songs. Prince's as-yet-untitled memoir is scheduled to arrive in fall 2017. News of Prince's memoir comes after a series of the singer's intimate Piano & A Microphone performances, where Prince has shared personal stories from his life, including a touching tribute to his one-time girlfriend and collaborator Vanity.
