Sinéad O'Connor's estate joins a long list of artists demanding Donald Trump stop using their music

"In between a myriad of court appearances, US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has been holding political rallies and campaign events, sound-tracked by popular songs.

"One of those songs is Sinéad O'Connor's trademark hit Nothing Compares 2 U, and the late musician's estate is not happy about it.

"In a joint statement, O'Connor's estate and her record label, Chrysalis, demanded the Republican 'desist from using her music immediately'.

"It said the Irish singer, who died last year aged 56, '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,' the statement said.

"'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.'"
