Sinead O'connors daughter sings

[Feey]

Sinéad O’Connor’s daughter Roisin Waters performed an emotional cover of Nothing Compares 2 U during a tribute concert at New York’s Carnegie Hall this week. The music of O’Connor and Shane MacGowan, both whom died last year, was celebrated at an event on Wednesday, shortly after St Patrick’s Day celebrations.

i watched this with tears in my eyes i also did not know the song was written about Sineads son who died by suicide.

Prince wrote it

I don’t think it was written about her son. Prince wrote that for her years before he was born

Sinead said that when she recorded the video for the song she was thinking of her mother who had died tragically a few years before. That’s why she cries in the shot.
