Sinead O’Connor calls Simon Cowell ‘cold-blooded killer of music’

Sinead O’Connor publicly dismissed her recent feud with Miley Cyrus on Friday evening – and promptly started another with music mogul Simon Cowell.

The 46-year-old singer made headlines after addressing Cyrus in an open letter, prompted by the former Disney star’s admission that her Wrecking Ball music video was inspired by Sinead’s Nothing Compare 2 U.

While Sinead’s letter was harshly honest, it was also complimentary to her music, as she advised: ‘You have enough talent that you don’t need to let the music business make a prostitute of you.’

The letter led to a public dispute with the 20-year-old, who controversially referenced Sinead’s public mental breakdown in 2012 by comparing her to troubled actress Amanda Bynes – currently seeking help for mental health issues.

Despite the controversy, the outspoken singer played down her tiff with Miley during an appearance on The Late Late Show in her native Ireland.

Speaking to host Ryan Tubridy she said: ‘As far as I’m concerned it’s over, it’s not something I really want to talk about’.

‘I don’t feel sorry for me or for anybody else in the matter, that’s not what it’s about. The broader issue, I feel sorry for the murder of music’.

‘I feel sorry for the murder of rock ‘n’ roll which has happened because of the industry. Because of Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and the lot of them (talent show judges) have murdered music.’ She added:

‘They’re murderers of music! I stand and say it on behalf of every musician in the world and they will all agree with it’.
