Prince Rogers Nelson (June 7, 1958 – April 21, 2016) was an American singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.

E' uscito il 23 aprile "A.D: 2010-La buona novella', rilettura de "La buona novella" di Fabrizio De André, pubblicata nel 1970. A quarant'anni dall'uscita, la PFM ha riletto musicalmente l'intero disco, riarrangiandone la parte melodica già esistente e aggiungendo musica inedita: "Il disco originale durava circa trenta minuti, noi abbiamo voluto aggiungere altri trenta minuti, in tutto il disco dura un'ora. Nonostante si tratti di un'opera apocrifa, abbiamo voluto rendere omaggio a Fabrizio De André dando il nostro contributo attivo: non abbiamo cambiato i testi ma abbiamo riarrangiato la parte musicale, liberandola dagli schemi e cercando di renderla più attuale, contestualizzata alla nostra società", afferma Franz Di Cioccio.

Non abbiamo voluto modificare la natura che le aveva donato Fabrizio, con il quale abbiamo collaborato sin dagli inizi, quando ci chiamavamo ancora I Quelli (e coi quali Mussida e Di Cioccio presero parte alle session di incisione dell'album originale).

The results are generally pleasing, if somewhat lightweight, with such obscure tunes as "Here's Buddy," Rowles' "Pop Melody," "Here's Pete" and Mann's "Theme from 'Theme From'" alternating with three standards and Chico Hamilton's "Morning After."
