Sheila E. will not perform at the Prince tribute concert

Sheila E. is clearing up rumors she’s performing at the Prince Tribute Concert in October.

“To provide clarity and to avoid confusion, I am not scheduled to perform at the Prince Tribute Concert currently planned for October 13th,” she told Page Six in a statement. “In these months after Prince’s passing there is still much being sorted out and discussed. Among them are performances and tributes which have taken place and planned among many different groups and organizations.”

She continued, “It is appreciated that each of us; family, friends and fans find ways to display our respect and admiration for one who gave so much to so many. In the course of the days, months and years ahead I like many of you will continue to honor Prince in various ways. I thank you all for your consideration, love and support of me, all of the Paisley Park families, and the Legacy of Prince now and in the future.”

A newsletter sent out by the Minnesota State Arts Board on Tuesday said the musician’s ex-fiancée would be performing alongside The Revolution, and Morris Day and The Time. Although, Prince’s longtime attorney, L. Londell McMillan, told The Associated Press that appearances had not been confirmed.

Morris Day and The Time have confirmed they’re performing.

The show will take place at the U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
