Prince was writing his Memoir: “The Beautiful Ones” I assume that most if not all of you heard the news On April 21st 2016 when we lost an extraordinary and legendary musician, singer, songwriter and artist named Prince. According to an interview between Raven Samone and Sheila E on the show, The View, he was working on adding the title of Author to this name. The reason why Raven Samone asked the question is because of the headlines that were in the news before he passed stating that on March 21st he announced a deal with a Major Publisher to write about book about his life called “The Beautiful Ones”. We’ve heard and seen some unforgettable stories from prince in the form of music and movies, But could you imagine reading more of his life stories and advice packaged in a book, especially from someone who wasn’t really known as a public person.
