The estate of singer Sinéad O’Connor has called on Donald Trump to “desist from using her music immediately."
A joint statement with her record label Chrysalis Records said that O’Connor, who died aged 56 last July, lived by a “fierce moral code” and that she had previously referred to the former U.S. President who is seeking re-election, as a “biblical devil."
“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.
“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.
“It is 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 guardian of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump and his associates desist from using her music immediately.”
