Tributes paid to ‘beloved’ Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor


Sinéad O’Connor rose to fame in 1990 with a striking arrangement of Prince’s Nothing Compares 2 U.

Her version of the ballad topped charts across the world and spent four weeks at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, earning her three Grammy nominations.

The music video, directed by John Maybury, consists mostly of a close up on O’Connor’s face as she sings the lyrics.

The visual won three Moonmen at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, including Video of the Year, where the singer was the first female artist to win the esteemed prize.

The music video on O’Connor’s official YouTube channel has had nearly 400 million views.
