He's 49 today. Did you know he kicked Sinead O'Conner's butt after she covered "Nothing Compares 2 U? She says, “At the time he had a lot of female proteges and I had covered his song without having anything to do with him. He invited me to his house in Los Angeles and started to give out to me for swearing in interviews. When I told him to go phuck himself he got very upset and became quite threatening, physically. I ended up having to escape. He can pack a punch. A few blows were exchanged. All I could do was spit. I spat on him quite a bit.”
