Andre 3000 As Jimi Hendrix (First Picture)

As most of us already know, Andre 3000 will be playing Jimi Hendrix in an upcoming biopic titled All Is By My Side about the life as the legendary musician. The movie is set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
‘Jimmy James, an unknown backup guitarist, left New York City for London, England in 1966. A year later he returned – as Jimi Hendrix. All Is By My Side brings authenticity and poignancy to the story of the man behind the legend, and of the people who loved and inspired him.’
