Prince memoir 'The Beautiful Ones' coming out in the fall

The memoir Prince was working on at the time of his death is coming out October 29.

The book is called "The Beautiful Ones" and will combine Prince's unfinished manuscript with rare photos, scrapbooks and lyrics. First announced just weeks before his death in 2016, the 288-page book will include an introduction by New Yorker writer Dan Piepenbring, whom Prince had chosen as a collaborator. The memoir is an exclusive partnership with the Prince Estate.

"The Beautiful Ones" is the deeply personal account of how Prince Rogers Nelson became the musician we know.

The book will span from Prince's childhood to his early years as a musician to the cusp of international stardom, using Prince's own writings, a scrapbook of his personal photos, and the original handwritten lyric sheets for many of his most iconic songs, which he kept at Paisley Park. The book depicts Prince's evolution through deeply revealing, never-before-shared images and memories and culminates with his original handwritten treatment for his masterwork, 'Purple Rain.'"

Prince died on April 21 three years ago from an accidental overdose of fentanyl at the age of 57.
