Prince is writing a book

Prince will be celebrating his upcoming 50th birthday by publishing a book about the summer of 2007 when he had 21 consecutive sold-out concerts at London's 02 arena.

"21 Nights" will be a multimedia volume released in September. It will feature poetry by the artist, live CD sessions with new music from after parties at the O2's Indigo Club and photos by Hollywood's Randee St. Nicholas.

An online statement by Atria, an imprint of Simon and Schuster, said the book jacket will have a black and silver duotone paper-over-board and will be "elegantly sealed in a purple slip case with foil stamping and then shrink-wrapped for protection."

Prince is Coming out with a Book

Prince/ the Artist Formerly Known As is working with Simon & Schuster to come out with a book in conjunction with his 50th birthday.

The book will be entitle 21 Nights and will be a tribute to his 21 sold-out concerts at London’s O2 arena last summer. It will feature a live session CD, poetry written by the singer, and never-before-seen photos.

Ever since prince entered the music scene with his 1984 album Purple Rain, he has been a force to be reckoned with, and if the book is anything like the performer himself, it promises to be interesting at the very least.
