I was reading an article about the top-earning dead celebrities on MSN and came across this statement...
Rapper Tupac Shakur rejoins the list with $9 million -- he debuted back in 2002, before falling off -- after the sale of catalog rights in May for upward of $5 million. More than a decade after his unsolved 1996 murder in a drive-by shooting, Tupac remains a hot commercial property. Said to be in development are a Tupac biopic, video game and -- gasp -- Broadway show.
That is the first I have heard about this; and am not sure what to make of it.
Below is the link. The mention of the Tupac musical is on page 2.
