The American alternative rock band Fall Out Boy is currently on tour in the USA with their new album So Much (For) Stardust. At their concert in Atlanta, they played a cover of the world-famous song "Nothing Compares 2 U" by Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor. The artist died on July 26, 2023, at the age of only 56.

The emotional song is the one with which the singer Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor had her international breakthrough. Nothing Compares 2 U" was written by Prince, one of the greatest pop icons ever. The song appeared on the album I Do not Want What I Haven't Got in 1990. You can watch the music video for it here:

During her career Sinéad O'Connor has released several albums. In 1991 she was even nominated for a Grammy in four categories and won the award for "Best Alternative Music Performance", but due to her criticism against the event she was not present to receive the award. Despite personal challenges, she always continued to make music and maintained her artistic integrity.

Sinéad O'Connor was undoubtedly an unforgettable personality, known for both her musical talents and strong convictions. Her biography was marked by ups and downs, but she proved time and again that she was an exceptional artist and activist.

Fall Out Boy Live Performance In Atlanta

Fall Out Boy have performed the song live before, but on the day of July 26, they brought it to the stage again in memory of Sinéad O'Connor. For this, Patrick Stump, lead singer and guitarist of the pop-punk band, sat at the piano and sang it himself. A recording of the performance was posted on Twitter. We've linked the tweet down here:

This is how Fall Out Boy bid farewell to the Irish artist. Many other well-known musicians also pay tribute to Sinéad O'Connor with musical contributions. The singer will remain in wonderful memory for all of us.
