Sinéad O’Connor’s Bizarre Prince Story Involves Soup and a Pillow Fight
Back in 2013, Sinéad O’Connor promised British music magazine Uncut that she had “a very funny story” about meeting Prince after she released a 1990 hit cover of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song he originally wrote for his band the Family. “It got violent, too, which is why I can’t go into it,” she told the magazine, adding, “I’ll tell it when I’m an old lady and I write my book.” Now, O’Connor is eight years older and has written that book, Rememberings, out on June 1. And as the New York Times reported in a new profile of the musician, she’s telling that story — which also involves, uh, soup and a pillow fight. Just let the Times explain:She writes that Prince summoned her to his macabre Hollywood mansion, chastised her for swearing in interviews, harangued his butler to serve her soup though she repeatedly refused it, and sweetly suggested a pillow fight, only to thump her with something hard he’d slipped into his pillowcase. When she escaped on foot in the middle of the night, she writes, he stalked her with his car, leapt out and chased her around the highway.
