Prince's manager hoping to release "vaults of music" into stage production
Prince died of an accidental overdose of the narcotic painkiller fentanyl on April 21, 2016 at his Paisley Park compound in a Minneapolis suburb.
PRINCE's musical legacy could be turned into a Broadway musical or Cirque du Soleil show.
In an interview with The New York Post, the artist's manager Charles Koppelman said Prince left "vaults full of music" at his death – songs that could be released as a musical.
"Prince was an icon on the level of The Beatles and Michael Jackson, and his legacy should be honoured," Koppelman said. "Though his name was Prince, I always thought he was the king of music."
Cirque du Soleil's show "Love" is based on the music of The Beatles. The production company also developed "Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour" which launched in 2011 and ended its run in 2014.
