The estate of Sinéad O'Connor has asked Donald Trump to stop using her music at his political rallies. Last month, Mr Trump played O'Connor's best-known song Nothing Compares 2 U at a campaign event in Maryland.

A joint statement from O'Connor's estate and her longtime label Chrysalis Records said: "Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinéad O'Connor 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.

"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.' The statement concluded: "As the guardians of her legacy, we demand that Donald Trump, and his associates desist from using her music immediately."
