Sinéad O'Connor in Antwerp, Arnhem and Rotterdam 2008-02-27 13:30:00

Sinéad O’Connor was added on the programme for Antwerp (Belgium) and Arnhem and Rotterdam (The Netherlands). She enjoyed her first success in the late eighties with ‘Mandinka’ and ‘Troy’. In 1990, she had a worldwide breakthrough with ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, originally by Prince, but made a true pop classic in her version.

Sinéad O’Connor became famous not only because of her music, but also because of her short hair, her turbulent life and her views upon Church and the place of woman in society. Her controversial ideas are reflected in the lyrics of her music, in which religion and spiritualism always take a prominent place. From her vast repertoire, Sinéad will perform ‘Troy’, one of those rare gems that seem to be written to be performed at Night of the Proms. Of course, her smash hit ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, a sing-along song for all audiences, will be part of her set as well.
