Summary
Matt Thorne: Prince
The sudden news of Prince Rogers Nelson's untimely death shocked the world on April 21, 2016. The reasons for sadness at the departure of such a talent are difficult to briefly enumerate: his classics Purple Rain, Sign o' the Times and Parade are regularly represented on the lists of the best albums in the history of music, his live performances are considered legendary, and his influence on urban music, especially R'n'B, has never been more evident. Prince is considered the most important musician of his generation and is one of only a handful of musical superstars who remain an enigma. But here we are not speculating about his extremely protected private life, but the most important thing is approaching: his musical opus. This amazingly rich, almost encyclopedic biography is the result of many years of meticulous research and lifelong obsession of the author. Acclaimed British novelist and critic Matt Thorne uses dozens of interviews with Prince's closest associates (many of whom have never spoken before) to examine every stage of Prince's 35-year career, including nearly every song Prince recorded. Originally released in 2012 in the UK, this edition includes a number of extras: a detailed overview of the iconic tour (21 Nights in London, O2 Arena, 2007), a review of two albums from 2014 and a Tidal release from 2015 - but also two afterwords, the last of which was written posthumously. Matt Thorne's Prince is the most comprehensive work on the controversial and self-deprecating artist – and essential reading for any Prince fan.
