Annie Lennox honored the late Sinéad O’Connor by performing “Nothing Compares 2 U” at the 2024 Grammys.
During the show’s in memoriam segment, Lennox took the stage with Prince and The Revolution members Wendy & Lisa to perform O’Connor’s signature hit, “Nothing Compares 2 U.” The stirring performance began with on-screen dedications to both O’Connor and the late Shane MacGowan. At its conclusion, Lennox said, “Artists for ceasefire, peace to the world.” Watch footage of the performance below.
The performance arrived in between tributes to Tony Bennett, Clarence Avant, and Tina Turner. Annie Lennox’s dedication to Sinéad O’Connor follows a long list of tributes to the Irish singer since her death in July 2023, including covers from boygenius, Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette and Foo Fighters, and P!NK and Brandi Carlile.
