O’Connor rejects chance to sing for Suu Kyi and attacks Bono

Controversial singer Sinead O’Connor turned down her invitation to sing for Aung San Suu Kyi last night after she was asked not to express her opinions on stage.

O’Connor was invited to sing ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ at the concert to honour the Burmese pro-democracy leader. The singer claimed on Twitter that Bono and Bob Geldof were behind the request to keep her opinions to herself during the event.

O’Connor unleashed her anger at the request by launching a blistering attack on Geldof, Bono, and Amnesty.
