Pr�sentation de l'�diteur :

In over thirty years as one of the most original and charismatic figures in modern music, Prince Rogers Nelson has enjoyed huge success and courted considerable controversy. At the height of his fame, his album Purple Rain was selling at a rate of a million copies a week in the US, and just four years ago his sell-out London concerts attracted more than 350,000 fans. Prince s innovative sound and restless creativity helped define an era, producing a string of international hits including Little Red Corvette, Let s Go Crazy, Kiss and Cream. Along the way he has provoked moral outrage, starred in hit a movie, provided the soundtrack to Tim Burton s Batman, adopted an unpronounceable symbol for a stage name, taken on his record label and fostered young talent, making a profound mark on the entertainment industry and pop culture at large. In this fascinating biography, acclaimed music journalist Ronin Ro lays bare the life and times of one of the most extraordinary musicians of our time, chronicling Prince s journey from teenage obscurity to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Through unrivalled access to exclusive sources such as Prince s band mates, managers, producers and friends Ro has got closer to this most mysterious of recording artists than any previous biographer, peeling away the masks to tell the story of a true modern icon.
