WHAT DEATH COULDN”T ALLOW PRINCE TO COMPLETE
Mark your calendar: A Prince partial
autobiography is coming out this fall.
Just weeks before he died in 2016, Prince
struck a deal to write a book about his life.
He never got to finish what he started -- but
a version of it is coming out this fall.
The memoir, titled "The Beautiful
Ones," will be released on October 29. The announcement comes just after
the third anniversary of the pop star's death.
The 288-page project will combine the pop
star's unfinished manuscript with never-before-seen photos, original scrapbooks
and lyric sheets, according to the description from Penguin Random House.
"'The Beautiful Ones' is the story of
how Prince became Prince -- a first-person account of a kid absorbing the world
around him and then creating a persona, an artistic vision, and a life, before
the hits and fame that would come to define him," the description reads.
Publishing agent Esther Newberg told Vanity Fair in 2018 that Prince delivered about 50
handwritten pages of the manuscript before he died on April 21, 2016 from an
accidental fentanyl overdose.
