Living Colour Perform Sinéad O’Connor’s Hit ‘Nothing Compares 2U’

Living Colour performed the Sinéad O’Connor Prince penned hit ‘Nothing Compares 2U’ at their concert in Pennsylvania this week.

Vernon Reid of Living Colour told Noise11.com that he was a huge Sinéad fan. ““It was a shocking passing. I was a huge fan back in the day,” Vernon said. “Time had proven her. She snuck her neck out at a time where people were largely in denial about what was going on in the Catholic Church. She has been proven correct. The fact she lost her son … she had a lot of success but she had a hard way to go. I believe she was really good person. She was a fantastic singer and a true daughter of Ireland. Even with all of the controversy”.
