Prince says epilepsy was cured by angels

PRINCE has revealed that he used to suffer from epilepsy - until he was cured by angels.

Speaking openly about the condition, the singer said: "I've never spoken about this before, but I was born epileptic and I used to have seizures when I was young.

“And my mother and father didn't know what to do or how to handle it, but they did the best they could with what little they had."

"One day I walked in to her and said, 'Mom, I'm not going to be sick anymore,' and she said, 'Why?', and I said, 'Because an angel told me so.'"

Prince also revealed that he taught himself how to play music in a bid to be as good as his father.

He said: "I went into myself and I taught myself music.

“My father left his piano at the house when he left, and I wasn't allowed to play it when he was there because I wasn't as good as him.

“So when he left I was determined to get as good as him, and I taught myself how to play music."
