That wouldn't surprise me. There's a reason Sheila posted on social media that she would not be part of the Oct 13 event and then shortly after the details were announced she posted on twitter about her concert with Morris Day. I get the feeling there is some bad blood between her and those involved with running the estate now.

I noticed on Sheila and Morris Day's Facebook event pages the photo marketing the concert is not Purple Rain or Prince Tribute. It's general. Did the estate tribute show force them to change it? Will their concert still be Prince songs? I hope so as I have tickets.

The I-X Center is still advertising it as a Purple Rain Tribute to Prince on their website, and is still using the same photo that started this thread.

Maybe Sheila had a fall out with Londell?

That is a possibility. It has been said that Shelia and Tyka were good friends.

It could be that Shelia knew what P was doing and what his futute plans were.

When Bremer took the reins and got LM and Koppleman onboard it could have

put a hitch in the git-go. I would imagine that there are some ruffled feathers as

"the heirs" were said not all to be on board with Bremer's plans.

I just think that there were things that Tyka and Shelia didn't see coming with

Bremer and they kinda gotta live with it for now.

LM has been out of the picture since 2005 and was not on good terms.

As for Koppleman, I don't see how he is a Prince expert in that how would he know

how P would want his vault ect. handled. Forgive me, I'm just a tad disenchanted

with the circus thus far.

I hope once this has settled down, maybe next year when everyone is geared, Sheila E does a Family Jamm II around Prince's birthday.

But I thought Sheila and P had a falling out around 2011-2012. She wasn't really in his public life much if at all from 2013 until he died. Was she at any of the Oakland P&M shows or Vanity's memorial. I don't know who requested Londell's services but it's not his fault that P apparently didn't have a will with all of his wishes properly documented. If he did I'm sure whoever was managing the estate would be following those wishes.

Awful, corny presentation and blatant exploitation of Purple Rain.

And it's sponsored by a pharmacy.

Horrendous.

Yeah, I thought it was in poor taste being sponsored by a pharmacy after how he passed, shows you how much they thought it through, didn't get past the $$$ signs i guess.

Oh wow I just noticed it was being sponsored by a drug store. Wow talk about bad taste.
