Prince has cut a singular path through the heart of popular music for more than 30 years. After making some of the most inventive albums of the '80s ä including Ê1999Ê ÊPurple RainÊ and ÊSign of the TimesÊ ä he turned his attention to redefining his role in the music industry changing his name to an unpronounceable symbol declaring war on his record label Warner Bros. and leading the internet revolution. His subsequent career has had many ups and downs but he remains a major commercial and artistic force as evidenced by his ability to sell out the O2 Arena in London for 21 nights in succession in 2007. In 2010 he announced that the internet was over and released his latest album Ê20TenÊ as a free cover-mounted CD with several European publications. ÊPrince: Chaos Disorder and RevolutionÊ is an authoritative chronicle of one of popular music's true mavericks. Covering every album every movie and every tour it includes profiles of various key collaborators assesses the artist's various business dealings and details his many and varied side projects ä on stage on record on screen and beyond.
