Now a couple of years later, it is still very impressive how you found the strength Sheila to open yourself for an interview so short after his passing. An interview which doesn't contribute to anything and still you went to this. You are a true loving person, being deeply there for the people you love... so impressive. I am touched.
Sheila E seems a lovely person from various interviews I've seen her in. It's a shame that their engagement didn't work out, but it speaks for him that she is paying loving tributes to him.
she is so genuine, it makes her more beautiful inside and out
I also am sorry for your loss Ms. Sheila E. I know that your are still hurting today. We (his fans) are all with you on that. With all your wonderful performances in these videos on RUclips you help to keep his memory alive. Thank you. Your amazing.
I always loved and admired Sheila E's talent and thought her and Prince together - were magical. Not only as musicians but as friends and a couple. You can tell they had a lot of respect for each other. I'm sure she's hurting pretty badly right now. Why they would ask her what she thinks happened is pretty stupid for the interview.
Shelia E just shows here how classy she still is. She would not talk about inside information she knows and it shows how much respect she has for the man still. Really enjoyed the music they performed together and he will be missed.
Carlos the shit Santana did not tell Sheila he was married.The disgusting creep will have his day.
***** I think you have that right, except forgetting that Carlos Santana did not tell her he was married. As soon as she found out, she left him. Kind of important.
I admire her for not crying. .....im sure its all so difficult
She hasn’t cried because she didn’t know him anymore!
Ms. Escovedo is a legend in her own right..and she is the epitome of class and beauty. I truly am sorry for her loss..and know that she and Prince shared a truly special and wonderful bond. This is such a sad time for all of us who enjoyed and loved this mans music. I used to say that I was happy that Prince didn't succumb to drug use like Michael Jackson..another artist I loved..did. But now I see that drugs are so rampant in our society..they are killing us all. Rest in peace my sweet prince. And long live his Purple Majesty. (◕︵◕)
Beautifully written, Sir. Ditto....
Prince proposed to everyone! But he was unable to keep a relationship together
Lynn...RIGHT!!
He was engaged like 5 times + married twice listen to Cat Glover on PRINCE Podcast about Sheila E and Prince's Engagement lol hilarious and not true
It's because he was a Gemini. 😂
You're so beautiful. Sorry for your loss Sheila. Prince was lucky to have you as a friend. I always felt you were his wife no matter who he had been married to.
exactly...and she was still the other woman when it came to Prince as well. or he would have married her had he been serious with that proposal...notice we never heard of this until Prince passed so he couldn't call her out for lying
Debbie Sibley I hav NEVER believed that Prince proposed to Shiela E. I always believed she is lying. I think bcos she was so loyal to him and she was jealous that he was always with other women. I feel she felt abit insulted and I believe she made the story up. I never heard any talk of their engagement send there wasn't a ring. if that happened like she said in the middle of a concert she wld hav had a follow up story about celebrating after the concert. I don't think the woman interviewing her believed her either.
+Debbie Sibley Actually, I remember an interview with Sheila's dad and he talked about their impending wedding. Sorry that you never heard of them being engaged but, I remember it and wondered why they didn't go through with it.
@@debbiewhite9711 DEBBIE WHITE YOU ARE WRONG ABOUT THAT SHE WAITED TILL PRINCE PASSED TO SAY HE ASKED HER TO MARRY HER SHEILA BEEN SAYING THAT WAY BEFORE PRINCE PASSED AWAY SHE USED TO SAY THAT IN HER INTERVIEWS IN THE NINETIES
@@paulinehayel Why would she lie
That makes no sense. You sound salty.🙄
Prince you are missed! God bless you!💓

Hugs for you Sheila so sorry for your loss
Her loss? Please!
@@jrrcorcloudsaremine 🤡
We will never ever forget prince. Such an amazing artist, songwriter and performer miss you prince. 0(+>
Amazing woman !
Also Sheila E . Carry on with great music
Love her!
I really would like to meet Sheila E. I always was a fan
Sorry for you loss Sheila ❤
Love you Sheila.
She must be so heartbroken from that day on. I feel so sorry for her. 🙏 God bless her always and everywhere. 🍀 Amen. 🙏
She is so beautiful~ she knows so much about Prince! Prayers for her he would want her to be there.
No she’s not!
Besides being Prince's other things like his drummer, I think that Sheila E was Prince's equal and soul mate even if he did get married afterwards, guess there were circumstances!
+Sasscat There were, he liked men.
+GhettoRanger I wasn't talking about that, knew it, so stick your comment straight up your ass!
I wish I'd seen him live
Can you imagine the talent their children would have had if they would have gotten married and had some? Wow-
I Wish they got married💗
She said they was too much a like and competitive. 💯💯
LOL! Prince was too much of a princess for any woman. That's why his marriage didn't last.
William Griffin Nope! He was childish ... He please the Ladies lol... Facts! They loved him ..... & Shelia E ... Still loves him . He still sexy tho. Don't hate lol
I don’t! She’s a liar!
i wish they got married too. they would make a great couple
+Monica Riley Men are not equal to women in age, that is why only old young works...I know all too well.
+Connie Raiford Prince went out with the white girl in Vanity 6, if he had died after that he still would have been smiling....
Marvin Franklin what do you mean by only old young works? Is that because men only start growing up after 40?
Monica Riley How??? Shiela is a lesbien.
@@aprilwest9852 You got that RIGHT. That's why her and Prince where never engaged she has actually been linked with one of Prince's dancers at the time. You would see Sheila Prince and this dance together. Think back
PRINCE never publicly announced he was engaged to Sheila E. He did announce engagements publicly to other women. I have heard other band mates say Sheila is just full of herself. Supposedly all that was a cover because Sheila E is Gay or lesbian. She was linked with Prince's dancer at the time. Sheila's father announced it not Prince. Not long after that she was fired or left his band and went on her own.
she's got to be heart broken the grief will be great if feel for her along that line
He is very powerful and I don't know what if he is gone but if it really turned out to be what it is ??? U R missed!!!
Always so much for respect. Here living in mpls. You all made the band. Your also along with all the band. Of course prince was the man. Coo doos.. sheila E.
yes yes it makes me cry to purple rian that brake down with the gutaer solo he does aww man I can reply it all day the live performance of it damn Man this is not real
Sheila is a very good drummer !!
I find it kind of tragic how 2 people were so meant to be together and so powerfully connected since day 1 but did not marry each other. Dont think it is a coincidence that neither had children nor a lasting marriage with any other person.And they always ended up back in each other's lives. Now after death, they r still so connected. It is beautiful yet v painful. No wonder she is in so much distress.I honestly think that none of the women in his life were destined to be his other then sheila and he knew it.
+Caz P Beautifully said, I totally agree
Caz PK Can. , are you not aware that shiela is a lesbian ? That's why she never married or had kids.
Perfectly written. I agree 💯
I luv Prince & Sheila E! My condolences to you Sheila. God bless you & the world mourning. :'(
can anyone tell me where that Purple Rain performance is from? the one at the 3:21 mark? i'm dying to see that performance, man... it's so beautiful that it makes me start tearing up...
+Nikki Dillard found it... it was the Arsenio Hall Show.
They were close friends. Although not at the end. But still.. I can’t work out why she would be jumping on his death to make money. Listen to the Cat Glover podcast about Prince.
Listen to Robin Power podcast Speaking on Prince World Completely Stopped When Sheila Was Around. He Had Soo Much Love & Respect for Sheila
Engaged...today yrs old🎉
I miss Prince
I love Prince so much but i hate when ppl need to just accept that he overdosed on pain pills i am sure he didn't want to be in the messed up situation he was in being in pain all the time and all he was trying to do was try and stay out of pain. I worked in the nursing field for over ten years and i knew a lot of patients on the samething Prince was on and it was hard being on the fentanyl patch that patch last's for three day's that third day while your patch is on you are with drawing so some ppl would put the other patch on before taking off the one they already have on and those patches are very strong from my regulation fentanyl is stronger then ten doses of herion that's very dangerous but it does stop ppl that has had some serious surgeries done on there body. I love Prince so much and i am sure that all he wanted to do was please his fan's and he had to pay the price for it toward's the end of his short life. R.I.PPRINCEROGERNELSON.
Krush Groove brought me here..
Asking her these types of questions right after he died. Sad.
Considering Prince cut her off years before, she had some nerve !
Ugh...Gail King, let Sheila finish her answer!! Two things were left out cause Gail did not let her finish answering!!
Prince should have married Sheila E. I think that would have fill the void in his life she was a strong enough woman to be his equal.
+Johnny....I know she was his ride or die chick & that's what he needed.
This man died all alone in his mansion . Why was he alone if so many people so called love him?
If someone like Prince tells the staff on his payroll he wants to be alone, that's the end of it. As for friends - even they were kept at arms length. That's just how the man was - it was on his terms, or you were ghosted.
I could see she never lost touch since the time they've met, in other words she still value their friendship as if it was yesterday... I believe some of us are born by the same tribe which means your inseparable even though you live two different lifestyle nothing can break that bond...
Yes, they did!
Not true. She stopped talking to him in 2011 over an argument about money and they never reconciled.
Cat said he never propose to Sheila who is tell the truth??
I'm under the impression that Prince would "propose" in order to keep a woman in his life. He loved women and did not like being alone.
But, obviously it didn't stop him from stepping out to be with other women.
Appears that Mayte either allowed him to wander or turned the other cheek in order to stay under his care.
yes he was.....PRINCE...R.I.P. PRINCE ROGER NELSON....from one of ur SISTER.................................
She still fine!!
it's all unfolding. the reports. the tribute. scripts. the hype. people on the inside (assigned to him thru "the industry") probably poisoned him. "the industry" has their own coroners, law enforcement, lawyers, etc; substantially compensated to make whatever report out to be what they need it to be to fool the general public. "the industry" controls the media, entertainment, sports, etc. it's easier to fool people than it is to convince them they've been fooled. we will all die some day, true, but Prince was murdered!!controlled". the hosts on these shows are reading off the questions "the industry" allows them to ask thus warranting only the answers that correspond. if sheila isn't careful, she will be "silenced" too.
+thedeanfactor I agree. There is NO way a man as astute meticulous and business savvy as Prince, didn't have a will.If there was no will,or living trust how did cremation and memorial play out so quickly? 2 weeks ago I saw a blind item on Lip stick alley predicting he'd die before summer .i don't have a link Google it.His death has affected me more than any celeb,i thought after Micheal and Whitney were tragic,but this one haunts me,because loved him so much.Prince didn't trust anyone with his music,but inks a deal with Tidal (owned by jayz) and prince got his masters back with Warner bros and then signed back them again after he battled them for years ? Who the hell gave the ok started posting his media and songs on youtube?
he legally challenged them and made serious progress from it. how dare him right? they lured him back in, then lowered the b((oo))m! smh.
Please, she wasn’t even close to him in the end... they were never involved like that...
That story of Prince “proposed” to Sheila E doesn’t sound like she should have taken it seriously. THe way she tells it sounds more like only friends. It would have been great though, imagine baby created by Prince and Sheila.
She lost her musical husband. They were joined at the ❤️ 4ever
Sheila E used to come across as so vibrant! What happened. She aint that old! Jeez!
she just lost one of her best friends!. I would be the same way!
She has probably been up all night.. She lost her friend
Some ppl have no common sense
eerr she is 60. would like to see how vibrant you are at that age and have lost someone dear.
From what I've seen, she is energetic and explosive in her performances, but in a conversational setting she is calm and laid back.
Thank You Everyone For Finally Coming Out With The Truth U Know Who U All Are.💜✨💜
Let her speak
I absolutely believe that Sheila E and Prince were meant to be together forever to eternity and back !!!!
Uhhhh. Noooooo
I wish I could keep friendship with women the way prince did. def missed out tbh
The Gaming Kitchen
Got a show because of ofatwhimpy
Yep, mary bartee. You're absolutely, positively right !
Prince was very sexy and a singer and the best musicians ever lives
It is odd his death was significant. His life was more so. He knew talent. Forget my Icon...I would kill (KIDDING) for a date with Sheila Prince. Tito...we shoud talk
I still don't think Prince ever proposed to her...if he did she would have been all over that..I think he was kidding around with her
Debbie Sibley I hav Always said exactly that too Debbie.
Debbie White it was a 10 minute engagement. When they got off the stage , he forgot all about marrying her. LOL
Debbie White: They made love to the music and the sound of it all! also he was a little man. I believe the only thing she had in common with Prince was the music bc otherwise he does not seem like her type plus she knew he was weird.
Shes a wonderful woman
no more speculation. ..he was murdered in an elevator ...he knew they were coming the moment he got his music back
Sadly similar to MJ! :'(
Tiny Towz MJ faked his death, though!
I saw a video of Micheal Jackson two years ago in another Country.. you can find it on RUclips..But i sadly do think Our Prince is gone 😭😭
This is old, but in no interview did she say she was in love with him. Even in this she didn't say "I loved him".
Update: I did read in an interview where she said they were friends first, but they fell in love - but after his death I never heard her say she loved him. Semantics, I guess.
She’s a liar! They weren’t even close near the end!
3 sides to every story what she says what HE says and the truth !! we're only hearing ( 1 ) side of the story
The most cogent comment on here!
Did Prince make her pancakes tho?
Hahahaha you know he did ... 🙌🙌😀😀
Doubtful
It’s omelets, by the way.
she said she knew alot, that makes me think that and i hate to speculate but you never know peoples private lifes im calling it some sort of drug related death
+Janiece Desmond I dont think so, but no harm in checking.
+avery gentry --- it just means she "knows a lot" that can't be shared publically for legal reasons. His death is under investigation.
Everytime Shiela repeats how Prince did that 5 second engagement. She makes money saying it over and over on these talk shows . ....like the song Prince sang. OLD FRIENDS FOR SALE. Mayte tells her live story over and over. Like the song THE GREATEST ROMANCE EVER SOLD.
Mayte has told her lies over and over
What????
she'll still looks good, I would've ask to marry her too lol
🎃🎃🎃
it seems to me that the real reason Prince cancel those concerts was because he was" dope sick "not that he had the flu so when he was able to obtain some pain pills he just took too many to take away the sickness and overdosed plain and simple may he rest in peace
David Rivas Sr With the kind of money he had. , I doubt if he ran out of pills to get dope sick.
As we know now pain pills were being spiked.
nice ankle holders,...
fiancée auto- proclamée!!!!!!
Genius gets thrown around a lot when t comes to actors and musicians but I seriously doubt many, if any, actually are. Many celebrities don't like to do interviews because they don't want the public to see just how ordinary they actually are.
I have nothing against Sheila, i like her. But i feel that now she is trying to use his death to make herself visible again... It's just my personal opinion.
He died as a direct result of DRUGS!
She’s a liar and was never his finanee’ ever! She wasn’t in his life at the end!!!! She also tried to take hold of his estate and stole his symbol and put a butterfly 🦋 over it. Oh please 🙄 shut up, Sheila. I used to actually like you! Why do you lie?
Stop making up stories. Jealousy is not a good look for anyone.
She only needed Prince to put out big hits because she is a terrible songwriter and musician. You can't build a career playing what she was playing. She wanted the limelight and money so badly. No man wants her because she is high maintenance.
