“I forget about a lot of the things that I’ve done until someone brings it up,” says. “I wish I could remember everything, when there’s so much that I’ve done! I look back and reflect a little bit, but I’m always in the moment and I feel that there’s so much more for me to do.”Hollywood Walk of Fame
In June, Sheila was featured on a track on Kelly Clarkson’s new album, “Chemistry.” “Sheila E. is not only an incredible musician,” says Clarkson, “but she is an amazing person that has shown me kindness, encouragement, and a realness that is rare in this industry.” But those plans were disrupted when she was 15 and played her first show with her father. “That changed my whole life,” she says. “I dropped everything. I knew then that this is what I was supposed to do, to play music and be a percussion player and entertainer.”
By the time she was touring with Lionel Richie, Prince had become an arena headliner, and they decided it was time for Sheila to do a solo project — which, she emphasizes, was a mutual idea. “I was just exhausted,” she says. “The pressure of trying to do all that needed to be done all the time and taking care of everyone — it was scary at times, it was really crazy. So at the height of my career, I said, ‘I’m done for a while.’”
Sheila and Prince were even briefly engaged in the late 1980s, and she would continue her association with him for the rest of his life. She still performs his music at every show, though she says that after he died in 2016, “at the beginning, it was hard to do anything, because I was just too emotional. Now, seven years later, I’m able to get through it — I just do my own celebrating in my own way.
