Dua Lipa Covers ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ in Honor of Sinead O’Connor in Dublin
Dua Lipa concluded the European leg of her Radical Optimism Tour by paying tribute to a legendary Irish artist at Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland. During her concert on June 27th, the pop star honored the memory of the late Sinead O’Connor by performing Prince’s classic hit “Nothing Compares 2 U”.
In an emotional display, Dua Lipa addressed the crowd before starting to sing the powerful ballad, expressing gratitude for being given the opportunity to perform this iconic song in Dublin, O’Connor’s hometown. She asked the audience to join her, as they likely knew the words and could harmonize with her.
Sinead O’Connor, a 1990s music icon, was born in Dublin and gained international recognition after releasing her version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” as part of her album ‘I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got’. This cover became a huge success, peaking at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for four consecutive weeks.
The surprise performance served as an emotional closure to Dua Lipa’s European leg tour.
