Prince has announced that he is writing a memoir that’s scheduled for release in fall 2017 via Spiegel & Grau (a Random House imprint).
The book is being described as “an unconventional and poetic journey through his life and creative work – from the family that shaped him and the people, places, and ideas that fired his creative imagination, to the stories behind the music that changed the world.”
At a press conference on Friday, Prince said the timeline of the book will span from his first memory to when he played the Super Bowl XLI halftime show in 2007.
In the press release, Spiegel & Grau Executive Editor Chris Jackson said:
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.
We can’t wait!
