"It was challenging ... It was very difficult and we went through a change and I just had to let everything go. It wasn't just letting him go and the work go, it was both. The hardest part about it was letting go of my best friend."

This is from the April 2008 issue of Latina magazine. Here's the full quote:

On her relationship with legendary rocker Prince:
It was challenging. We were in our own little world. We were on tour. We were enjoying life and just being able to be together and work together was perfect. But then there are times when it's too much and you grow apart. It was very difficult and we went through a change and I just had to let everything go. It wasn't just letting him go and the work go, it was both. The hardest part about it was letting go of my best friend.

Yeah,and I recall a mid-90s interview where she revealed that they were engaged in 1988.

Everytime I see him look at her at a concert etc like coachella i think theres a special connection there. I think shes one of his best friends and maybe theyve missed out on a life together, its sad really.

Very interesting...
and here they are now back together, at least musical-wise.
I wonder how hard it is for her now?

I'm not sure what you mean. It makes sense to me. She loved working and touring with him too and it was hard to let all that go. Why is that silly?

Why aren't you buying it? Sheila has said this about a dozen times over the last decade.

The only reason I believe in it is because I've heard Pete Escovedo talk about them being engaged. Pete always seemed like he didn't play the game, like when he would talk about Prince's involvement on The Glamorous Life when everyone else was pretending that she wrote and produced all the songs herself. It just seems to me that he wouldn't be going along with a charade 20 years after the fact, but that's just my opinion. shrug

I very much agree with you. Wasn't he involved with Anna Garcia around this time? and let's not forget Susannah.

I'm sure there were others too, but that doesn't mean Sheila couldn't have been one of them. Maybe she even knew about the others and didn't care.

Have you ever seen the Sheile E live video? They are performing a "LoveBizzare and she is grabbing his jewels and ready to throw him to the ground during the whole performance. I do not know any brother or sister who act like that.
I think they have a brother/sister relationship now a days.
I think she took their relationship seriously and he did not. Which seems to be typical behavior for P.

so true. Prince will probaly always be attracted to women that are 15 years his junior....he no doubt followed the example of his father.

I have to disagree here watch the interview of her on the PR premire. All she says is "Prince" when she is asked 2 questions, imho, she sounded like a 12 year old then. THEN if youve seen the Parade tour video of "Love Bizare" she gets abit dirty with erh as well. IMHO she was MORE then just "brother sister" with Prince. Many people in the Possessed book as well as others have stated the "closeness" they have off stage as well as many interviews.

Prince and Sheila were both an item and engaged back n the days. The reason she called it off was she was being haunted by her past and she needed 2 find herself and God. Remember they were both young at the time. However, they have always had a connection. They r best af friends and if they find thier way back 2 being lovers thats great 2. I wish the best 4 them both that life has 2 offer them. Sheila has always said that Prince is the only 1 that treated her rightous, and never took her 4 granted. He respected her 4 a woman, not a sex symbol. Thats alot 2 say compared 2 some guys out there 2 day.

If Prince never took her for granted, then why did he cheat on her with other women? You can still be "best friends" and get treated like shit. To sit and say Prince was faithful with Sheila(or any woman for that matter), I dont believe that for one hot second concidering he cheated on his past girfriends and given his past record of cheating. In a way he did treat her as a sex symbol, He molded her into a female Prince sort to speak(look at her Romance 1600 album cover close resemlance to Princes wardrobe at the time and the hairstyles as well).

What ever you are smoking please pass it to me.
