Justin Timberlake honours Prince with his new Netflix documentary

Actor-singer Justin Timberlake has dedicated his new Netflix film called Justin Timberlake + The Tennessee Kids to the late musician Prince.

The 35-year-old star's film is a recording of the final 2015 performance of his "20/20 Experience World Tour" at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

The "Can't Stop the Feeling" hitmaker revealed that Prince's music had a massive influence on his career and insists it "just feels right to dedicate the film" to him, who passed away in April at the age of 57," E! Online.

"His influence, and I have this in common with I think every musician of my generation and the generations to come, his influence is all over everyone's music. And there's so much that I feel like I've maybe consciously and unconsciously borrowed from him that it felt... right. It just feels right to dedicate the film to him," he said.

After premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival in September, the film, which is directed by Oscar-winner Jonathan Demme, will debut on Netflix on October 12.
