The estate of Jimi Hendrix has released a new statement speaking out against a biopic purported to star Outkast’s André 3000 as the iconic guitarist.
“Experience Hendrix, LLC, the family-owned company entrusted with
safeguarding the legacy of Jimi Hendrix and administrator of the Jimi
Hendrix music and publishing catalog, has made it known many times
in the past that no such film, were it to include original music or
copyrights created by Jimi Hendrix, can be undertaken without its full
participation,” reads the statement.
The response follows new reports that the long-stalled biopic, tentatively titled All Is By My Side, is moving forward once again after being blocked last summer.
