O’Connor’s estate asks Trump not to use her music

The estate of the late singer-songwriter Sinead O’Connor has requested that former President Donald Trump refrain from using her music at his events or rallies. O’Connor, known for hits such as “Nothing Compares 2 U” and “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” passed away in 2022.

In a statement released by O’Connor’s estate, they expressed their disapproval of Trump using her music without permission, stating that it goes against her values and beliefs. They have urged Trump to respect their wishes and cease playing her music at his events.

Several artists and estates have spoken out against politicians using their music without permission, citing concerns about endorsing political messages that do not align with their own views. O’Connor’s estate is the latest to join this growing trend of artists asserting their rights over their creative work.
