The pair performed 'Nothing Compares 2 U', in honour of the Irish music icon.
The American singer P!nk performed a tribute to the late Sinéad O'Connor on Wednesday night, after the news of the iconic Irish singer's death was announced.
During her show in Cincinatti, Ohio, P!nk brought fellow singer-songwriter Brandi Carlile to the stage to sing 'Nothing Compares 2 U'.
"When I was a little girl," she told the crowd, "My mom grew up in Atlantic City and I used to go down to the Ocean City Boardwalk with my ten dollars and I would make a demo tape… I would make a little cassette tape and imagine it was my demo for the record company.
“And it would always be either ‘Greatest Love of All’ by Whitney Houston or ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ by Sinéad O’Connor. So in honor of Sinéad, and in honor of my very, very talented friend Brandi Carlile I asked her if she would come out here and sing this song with me.”
The pair then launched into the cover, delivering a powerful tribute.
