The sister of Jimi Hendrix has told LA Times that a version of MTV Games Rock Band featuring his music is in the works. As reported in Billboard, Janie Hendrix mentioned the game in an LA Times interview discussing her handling of the late guitar legend’s estate. She said that Hendrix’s label Sony Music had executed a licensing deal to make his music readily available, including for a new edition of Rock Band that she pegged to later this year. Billboard says the timing would make sense given the 40th anniversary of Hendrix’s death this fall, for which Sony and his estate have prepared other offerings such as issued music and the compilation of never-before-heard tracks Valleys of Neptune. The news outlet says MTV Games and Rock Band developer Harmonix didn’t return its requests for comment. Read more at Billboard {link no longer active}.
