It looks like they split. Something happened.

BET it had to do with her performance on American Idol. Prince is probably pissed she played for Mark and Jlo.

Oh,I hope he's not playing those games again! You're my employee so you can't work with anyone else.Remember in the 80s when he fired Jerome Benton for appearing in Janet Jackson's "Control" video?

There is defintely something wrong. She didn't add 4 the rest of the tour. She knows how the purple people will speculate. Her saying this means she doesn't plan on per4ming with him at all. She did this b 4 though. Her & Prince have a love/ hate relationship. It may have 2 do with money. Sheila doesn't cum cheap & she gets a lot of attention when she is on stage with him.. But Prince did shout her out last night..

If there's anything wrong...

I hope they will work it out.

The stupidest sentence in this thread so far.

I loved seeing Sheila twice during the 21 Night Stand concerts. Sheila is beautiful, talented, and an amazing artist, no doubt. Now, after having said all of that, I come to the Prince shows to see who? Prince. Anyone else is an added bonus. I would take Prince and a mic, no Twinz, no background singers, no band, just a guitar, and/or piano (hell, not even that) if we get down to it.

Yeah, of course, but you know how ish gets on the org.

Sheila will not be performing with Prince for the foreseeable future. End of sentence. Move on.

I'm just not interested in seeing more haters speculate on why and making it out to be Prince's "fault". They need to chill on that. It's getting lame when every thread here turns into that.

Who Prince chooses and chooses not to work with at any given time is his prerogative and even the negative folks should allow him that courtesy.

See but that's NOT what she said. Who are you to speak for Sheila? You do Prince no favors by defensively reacting to facts that you are personally uncomfortable with.

The point is none of us know why Sheile E will not be performing with P. A few days ago she posted a pic of them riding bikes. Seems to me that these two have their ups and downs and fans should not read into it too much.

If he gave her a shout out then it might not be so bad.

I'll leave this up 2 sister fate,destiny she only only thing standing in the way of u and me!

Now that could be interesting. Prince: The Acapella Experience. He could sing "For You, "Solo," and maybe a cover of Joni Mitchell's "The Fiddle And The Drum." No need to pay any musicians, or even hire equipment.

but you just know he'd give at least half the show over to shelby and the girls to sing covers

Speculation as to the reasons for the tweet aside, until Sheila sends another message expounding on "not be performing with prince anymore", her statement stands, and probably means exactly what most consciously aware beings think it does.

If that baby came out feet-first, she'd have a size 17 vagina.

they come in sizes?

I went and read her Twitter page and it seems like she's talking about not performing with Prince anymore---permanently (however long that will be).

Actually if you follow some of the earlier correspondence, it goes like this:

Looks to me like she was getting a lot of questions about whether she would be playing with Prince at specific events, and she decided to issue a general statement that she is not playing with him indefinitely. Whether that means indefinitely as in "never again, because we had a big fight" or as in "not in the foreseeable future, because we haven't worked out specific plans" is not clear.

What a bunch of speculating, gossiping, negative losers.

Nothing better to do than to assume the worst.

Sheila E and her family have just released a new album.

If anything, why not speculate that she's going to be focusing on that instead?

For fuck's sake.

True.

I believe we'll see them on the same stage again at some point, it's inevitable I think. I hope so anyway, I love Sheila, I think she's badass.

Don't be stupid. If she was promoting the E Family album as opposed to touring with Prince, she'd have mentioned it. She didn't. She said that it wasn't her choice, but she won't be performing with Prince anymore. Can you read? If so, use some context clues. For someone who bitches about other people gossiping and speculating, your own post is riddled with speculation. You simply don't like the flavor of other people's speculation.

Well, tough shit. Don't read it then.

EVERYTHING IS ALRITE BETWEEN THEM

I don't see anyone reading into it at all, except for those that are trying to brush aside Sheila's statements and place them into a false context that they hope reflects better on Prince.

Somehow I don't find much reassurance in the word of someone who a.) uses a blue font, b.) uses all caps, & c.) spells alright 'alrite.'

She tweeted about the E Family album few times, and promoted it.

If Prince and Sheila did have a falling out, I feel badly for them both but it really isn't surprising. Is it? Those two have a long history of going through periods where they're close and periods where they're 'feuding' and distant. Luckily, in the past they've always eventually patched things up and hopefully this will resolve the same way and all will be well again. Their relationship seems to be a very tumultuous one but there's clearly something deeper there that always brings them back together.

sheila e has some concerts dates to perform with her band and she has to start rehearsing, so she can devote her time with prince.

...not verbatim, but "i will not be performing with prince anymore. no more shows." basically means the same thing.

It takes imagination and intrepretation to turn the word "anymore" into "forseeable future". Why does anyone feel the need to reinterpret or imagine context for her words at all?
