Famously reticent, perverse, and controversial, Prince is one of the few remaining superstars of the 1980s who still, perhaps, remains an enigma.

Matt Thorne's Prince has been written from years of research and interviews with dozens of intimate associates, and examines every phase of Prince's career over thirty-five years.Hinweis: Dieser Artikel kann nur an eine deutsche Lieferadresse ausgeliefert werden.
