Shane MacGowan and Sinéad O'Connor were honoured at the 65th annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles last night.
Scottish singer Annie Lennox played ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ in memory of her friend Sinead O’Connor.
She played the song as a screen shared the faces of musicians who have passed away over the last year, including Shane MacGowan.
Sinead passed away last July, aged 56, while MacGowan passed away in November, aged 65.
