Veteran popstar Prince has spoken out about suffering from epilepsy as a child.
The 50-year-old singer revealed his struggle with the illness during an interview with PBS's Tavis Smiley.
"I've never spoken about this before but I was born epileptic," he said. "I used to have seizures when I was young.
"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."
Speaking about overcoming his problems with the condition, he added: "My mother told me 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'.
"Now, I don't remember saying it, that's just what she told me."
Prince is currently promoting his three-disc release LotusFlow3r.
