And somewhere Sheena Easton goes "What?"It's all over the Net now but reports are saying he was depressed after being diagnosed with AIDS six months ago. That's from both tabloids and more reputable sources as well.
Prince wooed singer Sheena Easton during a bizarre 1985 date in which he refused to say a single word to her, the singer's former chauffeur has revealed.
The Purple One wouldn't utter a sentence to Easton - insisting that they communicate 'only through their eyes' – during the memorable night out.
And Prince barely touched the Scottish starlet - then 25 – during the three-hour date, not even kissing the hit maker, famous for songs like Modern Girl.
But despite the singer's odd romantic tactics Sheena fell for the eccentric star and was 'totally smitten,' according to limo driver Al 'The Limo Man' Bowman.
The extraordinary encounter was witnessed first hand by the baffled chauffeur, who drove Prince during the height of his fame in 1985.
Prince and Easton enjoyed a secret romance in the mid 1980s when he penned some hits for her including Sugar Walls.
Bowman, who also drove megastars like Madonna, Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson as well as rock bands Motley Crue and Guns N' Roses, revealed his memorable time driving the star, who died on Thursday.
