Prince reveals he was cured of a serious childhood health condition -- after encountering an angel!

"I've never spoken about this before, but I was born epileptic," he told Tavis Smiley. "I used to have seizures when I was young."

Music's most secretive star went on to tell the talk show host that he was cured after being reassured by an angelic apparition, saying, "My mother told me one day I walked into her and said mom I'm not going to be sick anymore, and she said 'why?' and I said; 'an angel told me so.'"
