I've only just read about that "Glamorous Life" cruise, that she's now advertising as a tribute to Prince...

A tribute to Prince??? Some kind of cheesy Latino Love Boat, featuring many acts with no links to Prince, costing up to $3,000 per room, is somehow memorialising Prince?

Take a look at @SheilaEdrummer's Tweet: https://twitter.com/Sheil...57188?s=09

And no - it's not the same as Spike Lee organising a spontaneous FREE block party.

It's not the same as Madonna asking to perform a tribute at the Billboard awards, when she has no tour or other current product to promote.

It's awful. Truly awful.

It's not the concept of a musical cruise that's awful, just the fact that she's now advertising it as being a tribute to Prince. It's a fucking tribute to her bank manager. That's what it is.


Regardless of if you think she is cashing in or not, this is about her heartfelt letter. That is what this thread is about. The cruise talk is in another thread. I believe her words are sincere. She actually posted this letter back in April on her website and is just now reposting it to her facebook. Her words were sincere then and I believe they are still true which is why she posted it again. Beautiful words. I don't want to read it again because I know I'll cry but I think that this letter came from the heart. I truly do.

To be fair I saw Sheila E's Latin Cruise being advertised well before Prince's death because I just went on a cruise and thought about going on hers. I suspect the Prince Tribute was tacked on after his death but that doesn't make it a cheap money grab. Looking at the live Love Bizarre video today I was reminded of the unique chemistry they had onstage. She talked about their relationship in her biography and he was her musical soulmate. I'm not sure why she rubs so many the wrong way, but I don't think Prince invested much time in any women who were petty or mean-spirited.

I purposely replied to this thread, because her letter irked me at the time, but out of respect for her loss I said nothing.

I still can't verbalise my thoughts on her "letter" in polite terms, so I won't.

It's been a shitty day. I'm logging off.

Yanno...there's something about her I just dont like or trust even....I used to love her...but recently after P's passing....im kinda thinking...infact ill leave my thought's to myself.....dont want any argument's on here since im new to this site....

what U think Sheila makes too much of herself?

I love her words, I love the belief she's always held onto in connection with Prince, she's always extended her stage to other purple soldiers. Luv her
