Comerica filed a document outlining what they have been working on from June through September 2017. One notation stated:

"Continued negotitations on amendment to pre-death agreement for book."

It was also noted that 20,000 audio and visual assets were inventoried and tranferred to an expert archiving firm.

50 pages is not a memoir.

How do they define an asset?

Nah, 4000 to 5000 regular songs, add remixes to that, add audio of every show, video of every show, videos he never released, I think 20,000 can be hit pretty easily.

Not currebtly; hopefully I can find a source. I remember him stating that he was working on his memoir and had written 50 pages of it shortly before he passed away.

Yes, I believe it was earlier this year that he talked about it

Thanks for the link. If the recordings do exist, they still might have enough material to publish a book...

How do they define an asset?

Anything that you own outright.

He could have submitted a treatment and recorded the rest. I do not think the estate would be interested in exploiting the assets if they had nothing.

I am including a link to one of the websites which mentions 50 pages was finished. This was a quote from a literary critic. The only other reference to the number of pages that I saw in a quick look was from TMZ.

Other articles such as: LA Times, etc. just mentioned that Prince was writing the book.

I really wonder how far they got with only 50 pages? Prince’s life was so full. I barely feel they got the beginning out of the way. Has there been any discussion on what has been covered from whoever was doing the publishing? Who was he working with to write it?
