Annie Lennox Calls for Gaza Ceasefire During Sinéad O'Connor Tribute at Grammys
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Grammys were held Sunday night. Several artists used the event to
call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Members of the band boygenius, which won
the Grammy for best alternative music album, took to the red carpet
wearing pins with the logo for "Artists Call for Ceasefire Now." The
musician Annie Lennox called for a ceasefire from the stage just after
she performed a version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," a song popularized by
the late Sinéad O'Connor.

Annie Lennox: "Artists for ceasefire, peace in the world!"
