Last year the estate of the late rocker, Prince, bumped heads with Netflix over a planned documentary [click here if you missed that].
The issues cannot be rectified and now the doc has been canceled....
From CNN
Dearly beloved, an eagerly-anticipated documentary about Prince has been canceled.
Netflix, which had planned to stream the Ezra Edelman directed project, released a statement Thursday, along with the estate for the late singer, that the project would not be moving forward.
“The Prince Estate and Netflix have come to a mutual agreement that will allow the estate to develop and produce a new documentary featuring exclusive content from Prince’s archive,” the statement reads. “As a result, the Netflix documentary will not be released.”
Soon after, the Prince X account posted a video with the message: “The Vault Has Been Freed.”
It was reported last year that representatives of the late singer’s estate were not happy with what they viewed as “dramatic” factual inaccuracies and “sensationalized” portions of Prince’s life as portrayed in the six-part documentary, which had been in production for four years.
The singer died from an accidental overdose of the opioid fentanyl in April 2016. He was 57.

GOOD!
THE WAY PRINCE ROGERS NELSON WOULD HAVE WANTED IT.
Naw I’m in favor of the truth, truth is Prince was a mean bisexual drug addict, no different than the rest of these celebrities. Don’t nobody wanna see another biopic sugarcoated to his likes
Prince's life was sensational, so Netflix would have a hard time avoiding sensationalism. His family probably is going for the Jehovah's Witness version.
I didn't know you knew Prince personally? He been gone for 9 years, but, he must've told you all his personal secrets. You don't know sh@t about Prince!
FOHWTBS.
Yes, NETFLIX can't find any other race of people to dig up biopics about?
It’s like Hollywood wants Black people to be gay so bad🤮
He was murdered.
