Sheila E. says Shania Twain would not have to dwell on what might have been — taking Prince up on a suggestion to collab on a breakup album years in the past — as a result of Shania was proper to say no.

We obtained Sheila at LAX and our photog requested her about Shania’s latest revelation — turning down Prince after he invited her to Paisley Park to report an album collectively within the wake of her 2008 cut up from ex-husband Robert “Mutt” Lange.

Shania says Prince referred to as and advised her they may report the following large album — like Fleetwood Mac’s “Rumours” — however she simply wasn’t prepared … and Sheila says it is sensible, telling us why breakup tracks are “sensitive” for artists.

Whereas a number of people really feel Shania and Prince might have finished one thing particular collectively, Sheila tells us the ‘Really feel Like a Lady’ singer did not want Prince to raise her music … Sheila says Shania was already nice, with or with out Prince.
