Prince's memoir is finally coming out in late 2018. The Purple One's memoir The Beautiful One was started when he was alive, but never completed.

Prince only submitted 50 pages of the memoir to his publisher before his death in 2016.

According to Variety, Prince had been working on his memoir alongside author Dan Piepenbring on the book, says publishing agent Esther Newburg.

Since Prince's death, work on the memoir has continued with Newburg thinking it will come out "just in time for holiday season."

Because the late musician was handwriting the pages of the book, reproductions of them may be featured as well.

Upon the book's initial announcement, The Beautiful One was described as “an unconventional and poetic journey through [Prince’s] life and creative work."

Newburg also revealed that the book deal happened in a way that had "never been done before."

"Editors don’t like to be in the same room making their pitches to the same potential clients," she explained. "We had to do it because I knew [Prince] would not want to meet individually with editors."

Last August, Beyoncé wrote the foreword for a Prince biography called Prince: A Private View.

It seems like Prince's memoir will hit shelves just before the new year.
