Sinead O'Connor: 'I had violent clash with Prince'

Sinead O'Connor "detests" pop star Prince, the man who wrote her biggest hit, and became embroiled in a "violent" clash with him when they first met.

Bing: New Prince song, 'Screwdriver,' appears online

The Irish singer shot to worldwide fame in 1990 with her cover of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U," but has confessed she loathes the "Purple Rain" star. She alleges they had a huge bust-up when they met, but she is keeping details of the dispute a secret until she writes her memoirs.

"I loved his music, but I had absolutely no idea or expectation that that single would be such a big hit, not at all," O'Connor told Britain's Uncut magazine. "Did I ever meet Prince? I did and ... we didn't like each other. At all. Ha ha! I'm not going to go into it, but we detest each other ... It got violent too, which is why I can't go into it, but it is a very funny story. I'll tell it when I'm an old lady and I write my book."

Sinead - Don't bother. Few care what you think, say or do.

I remember when Prince preceded the Stones on stage and had the temerity to continue playing, while thousands of shoes were tossed at him for wearing a pink tutu for his first American appearance. But his music has captured many, and maybe the Stones, who called them America's new up and coming stars, were correct. Prince is a master of the guitar, and his uniqueness is stellar. While I was never a great fan of Sinead, and her career includes my favorite songs Nothing Compares 2 U and Fire on Babylon, I have to admit, I am still intrigued by Prince, even if his ego is his worst attribute.
