With his Purpleness Prince having passed away earlier this year and a huge tribute concert planned on the anniversary of his death next year it seems that we can also look forward to a major documentary feature to be released in the second quarter of 2017.
Directed and produced by acclaimed US doc producer Michael John Kirk, known for his work on PBS documentary series Frontline, the documentary about the purple prancing prince of pop will be called ‘Prince: R U Listening?’ and is set to chart the musician’s early years and rise to super-stardom as seen through the eyes of his bandmates, friends and family including Dez Dickerson, Prince’s first guitar player and Andre Cymone, Prince’s close friend and original bassist. Other contributors will include Bono, Mick Jagger, Billy Idol, Lenny Kravitz and Sheila E.
On its release Let’s Go Crazy (You’re fired!’ – Ed)
