Likelihood of a CD / DVD to accompany Memoir?

I wonder if the Random House deal for Prince's memoir includes license to release a CD or DVD to accompany the book? Perhaps new material, reloaded material, old or new footage related to the memoir?

What are your thoughts on this possibility and what would you like to see or hear?

He fucked over WB with Purple Rain so the likelihood is absolute zero for old and interesting material.

I can see a "Beautiful Ones" CD with piano versions of songs for sure. It would be reflective much like his current live act which may have inspired the memoir.

The book/cd- if successful, could make him somewhat viable for a Label again. So, it makes sense.

It appears that way. However, I'd bet money that we haven't heard the last of this so called "deal". Just have to wait and see.

I'm sure it's possible but by Autumn 2017 Prince may be in a completely different place musically so it's difficult to know what form that may take.

Makes sense, especially since communicates best via music. When he has the 'mic'(media attention), he likes to have something new to say methinks

Pretty high, I think. I suspect a 'best of' Piano & A Microphone live CD - kind of like the Indigo Nights live CD that came with the 21 Nights book...
