O'Connor: 'I told Prince to f*** himself'

Sinead O'Connor has revealed that she told Prince to "f*** himself" when the two disagreed over her swearing in interviews.

The singer had previously recorded a cover of one of the star's tracks for her 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got.

O'Connor said: "I didn't hit it off with Prince. I met him after I'd recorded 'Nothing Compares 2 U' and he said he didn't appreciate how I used bad language in my interviews.

"I told him to go f*** himself and he wasn't very happy."

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got is re-released by EMI in a two-disc version on April 13.
