Scottish singer-songwriter and political activist Annie Lennox found the perfect opportunity to address the Israel-Gaza war during the Grammys on Sunday night — while paying tribute to equally outspoken artist Sinéad O'Connor, who died on July 26, 2023.
At the end of an extra somber rendition of O'Connor's beloved song, "Nothing Compares 2 U," off of her 1990 album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got," Lennox raised an arm in the air and called out, "Artists for ceasefire. Peace in the world." At the time of her performance, she was the only artist during the awards event to mention the war at all, including host, Trevor Noah.
