Sinéad O’Connor thought ageing rockers including Roger Waters were “old farts”. The ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ singer, found dead in London on 26 July aged 56, was one of a string of A-list guests who played with the Pink Floyd frontman, 79, at an iconic gig in Berlin in 1990 when he mounted a rendition of the band’s landmark album ‘The Wall’.
