Prince is writing
a book. Yes, his purple majesty is departing from his musical career to pen a semi-autobiographical photographic essay.

“21 Nights,” a “photographic essay” that offers “a scarce glimpse into the life, lyrics, and mystique” of the maker of such hits as “1999″ and “Purple Rain,” will be published worldwide come fall, according to Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster.
The book, his first, is based on Prince’s 21 sold-out concerts in as many nights at London’s O2 Arena in 2007.



“Juxtaposing his duelling worlds of music and solitude, it (’21 Nights’) will incorporate Prince’s evocative poeattempt and lyrics to new songs

and other selections and 124 full-colour, sumptuous, never-before-published images by celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas,” Atria announced Monday.
“21 Nights” will include a CD of after-hours jams, “Indigo Nights,” unavailable from any other outlet.

Prince was most recently in the news for suing his fans for posting photos of him on their adoring, fan websites, which was not terribly smart of him. Will he attempt to sue anyone who reviews his book?
