O’Connor recently released her memoir, titled Rememberings, which featured many surprise revelations.

The singer alleged that she was once “summoned” to the musician’s Hollywood mansion where she claims he “tried to beat me up”.
She also claimed she was prompted to “escape on foot in the middle of the night”, whereupon she says Prince “stalked her with his car, leapt out and chased her around the highway”.
