He had grand plans for his autobiography—and only a few months left to live.
This is the first and, unfortunately, unfinished book of Prince’s memoirs. The singer started working on it far too late—literally a few months before his tragic departure. Originally, the book was supposed to cover his life journey—from birth to Super Bowl, where Prince officially performed in 2007. It was also meant to touch upon the most fundamental topics: his relationship with his parents, memories and reflections, discovering himself within the world of musical creativity. He said: “The secret is called a secret for a reason. It has a purpose.” With this book, Prince intended to pull back the curtain on the mystery of his own life.
