Here's the latest on the investigation into the singer's death, his estate and tributes:
Sheila E.: 'I'm still #RELEVANT': Prince's former drummer and partner Sheila E. took issue with songwriter/producer Linda Perry saying she is no longer relevant enough to warrant inclusion in Sunday's Billboard Music Awards tribute to Prince.
"In all fairness, Madonna was asked to do this and she was friends with Prince but you also have to think about it's really the Billboard Awards, they think about who is hot and popular," she argued on CBS' The Talk. "They're not gonna call up Chaka Khan and re-put together The Time and Sheila E. because they're not relevant right now."
"It was exactly that type of attitude and comment, recently conveyed on a talk show by a misinformed guest, that Prince, Paisley Park and those who have been an extension of, continually fought, and still fight, against," Sheila E. replied on Facebook. "The lack of understanding and myopic view of dollars over sense is what perpetuates the ignorance that continually works against the artist, and the industry."
