Did Prince's estate confirm Purple Rain is coming to the theatre?

🤔

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/40187261

"Neither Prince's family or the estate have given permission to use his name, likeness, or music catalogue for this event," Troy Carter, entertainment adviser to the estate, told the BBC in a statement.

"This is a blatant attempt to deceive fans into thinking they're seeing a Purple Rain musical on the West End, when it's only a cover band playing Prince's songs.

"We're currently weighing our legal options and look forward to bringing the real Purple Rain to the stage in the near future."
