This is the first time ive heard everything since yesterday and to hear all the wonderful songs that hes written and the things that he has said all these years its weird to listen to it in headphones and sit here and just be here in minneapolis and its unreal. Its surreal. I miss him dearly. Its very devastating and hes done so much for music. Hes created music that no one has ever done before. He had his own sound and he did it for the people. Did it for the fans. Hes done everything for them. Sheila, were you aware that prince had been having Health Problems . Well, to me he is like an athlete and, you know, athletes trained and they get injured and, you know, we know that hes had issues with, you know, his hips. If you look back in the days of purple rain when he was on top of risers and jumping down off risers in those heels, you know, it damaged, you know, parts of his body so i know were always injured when we play on stage. Were getting hurt all the time so i dont know anything other than that. Lets go back to some happier times. You met in 1978 and is it true he wanted to marry you from the moment you met . Yes. I met him at one of his first concerts during his very first record and he played in the bay area in oakland, california, and when i went backstage to introduce myself to him, he said him and the bass player were fighting to which one was going to marry me first. And he proposed to you on stage . Yeah, that was years later but, yes. Tell us about that moment. Well, it was special. It was during purple rain and i was playing drums at the time and he turned around and looked at me and asked me to marry him. And i said yes. You know, for such a public man he led a remarkably private life as well and what do you want the public to know about him that we may not know . He was a private person, everyone knows that and theres things that we have shared him and i together that will never people will never know. They are our own moments and for the fans, you know, all i can say is that as much as you loved him he loved them even more. His life was music and he gave everything his all to create music as paisley is a dynasty its a museum. Its a place where he created and for the fans to know that, i know they know that. We all feel the same way in how he wrote amazing music for all of us to enjoy. That will be here forever. Certainly will. Sheila e. , thank you for joining us this morning. Well have much more on princes influence, performances coming up later in the show. Cannot wait for that. We move to another big story, the race for the white house, both frontrunners donald trump and Hillary Clinton hoping to keep that momentum going after big wins in new york, five states up for grabs tuesday, pennsylvania, the biggest prize and Abcs Cecilia Vega is in philadelphia with the very latest. Good morning, cecilia. Reporter amy, good morning to you.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is donald trump, how are you . Reporter overnight donald trump taking matters into his own hands. So i am supposed to wait a half an hour but i cant do that to you so were going to come on right now. Yall ready for this reporter introducing himself at rally in pennsylvania.

Ive got one more number for you this morning. 199 days to go. Thats it. Whos counting . A lot more money to be spent. Jon karl, lots of states in play. On the republican side all look strong for donald trump. Reporter the next states look like trump territory. If you look at where the delegate count stands right now trump has a growing lead both ted cruz and john kasich are mathematically eliminated of clinching before the nomination but still needs nearly 400 delegates to clinch. The next several states are a golden opportunity to get towards that direction. If you look theyre all in the northeast, midatlantic, the place where donald trump has done best and, george, in three the three biggest states weve seen polls in all of them trump has a huge lead. On the democratic side, jon, on tuesday, Hillary Clinton can put the pledge delegates pretty much out of reach of bernie sanders. She sure could. If you look at where that stands Hillary Clinton is about 80 , more than 80 of the way towards clinching and these five states for the democrats, same as for the republican, four of them are closed primaries that means only democrats can vote, no independents. Bernie sanders has not won a single closed primary so far. Tough tuesday ahead for him. Okay, jon karl, thanks very much. Over now to lara. Thank you, george.
