Which recently deceased legend was promising her fans right up until the end that she would update her autobiography after her first book was accused of glossing over a lot of things? Turns out, she already had updated her memoirs, thanks to her ghostwriter/co-author who has done so for many other icons in the music biz.

She let him put his name on the book and use her manuscript as a guide.

The reason she didn’t put her name on the cover is because her family and longtime friends would have been very upset at some of the details in the book, particularly involving the legend’s father and his circle of friends.
