21 Nights--a first book by Prince and celebrated photographer Randee St. Nicholas is a stunning multimedia volume offering a rare glimpse into the life, lyrics and mystique of one of the most notable and prolific musicians of our time. This beautifully designed photographic essay flows from Prince's sensational, unprecedented, record-breaking, sold-out 21 concerts in 21 Nights at London's 02 Arena in 2007. Giving insight into his dueling worlds of performance and solitude, 21 Nights incorporates Prince's evocative poetry and lyrics to new songs and other selections, and 124 full-color, sumptuous never-before-published images by Randee St. Nicholas. As part of the multi-dimensional experience, it will also include "Indigo Night," a CD--available only with the book--capturing Prince's after-hours, live after-show sessions--rare and profound moments of musical genius.
21 Nights takes the reader from the passenger seat of a limousine zipping through the streets of London to his sleeping quarters in a luxury hotel. In between we see him and his phenomenal band of musicians, singers and dancers backstage in the make up room to onstage, bathed in purple lights and a fog of gray smoke. Like a movie-in-a-book, readers are taken on his journey from London to Prague, in a style that takes glam rock to a new level.
Then there is poetry and lyrics that reveal the heart and soul of Prince--in addition to his incomparable talent. Going beyond the catchy hook, he expresses himself on everything from the destructive forces of war, greed and superficiality the life giving energy of love, beauty, and--of course--music.

Prince - 21 Nights:
This is a GREAT picture book if you're a prince fan. If you're just an ordinary viewer, it's a learning experience full of neat info. about the man!
Life could be so nice>>>:
Okay, we are all Prince fans---so don't we know him by now? The book is full of large glossy pic's and not all of them are of the man, but the book is beautiful. U will only get what he gives and not what we want. What we want (as fan's) are his thoughts, his dreams, scribblings of what could be a song, and pictures of him in life-in an unstaged enviroment,on the road, at home,in the studio. I have been a fan of Prince from day one and I think if I ever met him, that I may not be a fan anymore. I find him... more info
