Sinéad O'Connor's Estate Says She Would Be 'Disgusted' By Trump Using Her Song
HuffPost
The former president has played O'Connor's cover of "Nothing Compares 2 U" at various political rallies as he seeks reelection.
In a fiery statement shared with multiple media outlets, Sinéad O’Connor’s estate on Monday blasted Donald Trump’s use of the late singer’s most famous song, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” at recent campaign stops.
“Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness and decency towards her fellow human beings,” reads the joint statement from the singer’s estate and the British music label Chrysalis Records.
“It was with outrage therefore that we learned that Donald Trump has been using her iconic performance of ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at his political rallies,” the statement says, calling it “no exaggeration to say that Sinéad would have been disgusted, hurt and insulted to have her work misrepresented in this way by someone who she herself referred to as a ‘biblical devil.’”
“As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately,” the statement says.
A great many artists or their estates have condemned Trump’s use of their music over the years, including the Rolling Stones, Neil Young, the Smiths, Black Sabbath, Rihanna and others.
