LONDON - Late Irish singer Sinead O'Connor's label demanded Donald Trump to stop using her music in political rallies, adding her to a list of artists from Taylor Swift to Rihanna who have denounced the former US president.

The Dublin native, who was known for her outspoken views on religion, sex, feminism and war, 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", according to the statement.

Her longtime label Chrysalis Records and estate expressed "outrage" in a joint statement that Trump - the US Republican frontrunner - had been playing her 1990 chart-topping hit Nothing Compares 2 U at his rallies.

"Throughout her life, it is well known that Sinead O’Connor lived by a fierce moral code defined by honesty, kindness, fairness, and decency towards her fellow human beings," they said on behalf of the singer, who died last July at the age of 56.

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

The statement comes as Trump scored wins in Michigan, Missouri and Idaho Republican caucuses on Saturday, moving him closer to becoming his party's White House standard-bearer and a likely general election rematch with US President Joe Biden.
