Sheila E. And Prince Were Secretly Engaged
For years, fans speculated on the nature of the relationship between Prince and his sexy drummer Sheila E. They were involved, but not exclusive — Prince cultivated a bit of a harem scene. Then, as she revealed in her autobiography, something strange happened in 1987 in “the middle of Europe.” During a show, halfway through “Purple Rain,” Prince turned to his drummer and mouthed “Marry me?” She said yes, then “[h]e blew me a kiss, turned to the audience, and took the most amazing guitar solo ever,” she wrote.
