 but people seem to have only just started realising that… they can sing. Everyone's favourite Irish twins, John and Edward Grimes, are now 31 and continuing to spread their Jepic energy across the internet with comedy and music. But they can do serious too, proving so with a lovely tribute for the late Sinéad O'Connor following her death last month. The songwriter and activist was found unresponsive at a London home on July 26 aged 56, with tributes still flooding the internet as fans and loved ones mourn her loss. Following O'Connor's funeral in Ireland this week, Jedward's John chose to remember her with a fitting musical number. The 2011 Eurovision finalist filmed himself singing her biggest hit, Nothing Compares 2 U, which he played on guitar while staring out of the window. Sinéad O'Connor sadly died on July 26, aged 56 (Picture: Andrew Chin/Getty Images) Nothing Compares 2 U was originally penned by Prince, while O'Connor recorded a version for her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, in 1990, going on to become the 'number one world single' that year. And it may come as a surprise, but his vocals weren't too shabby! He wrote in a tweet alongside the clip: 'Thinking of you Sinéad thank you for the sunshine from Heaven'. The video has already clocked up over 50,000 views and the duo's followers were keen to praise John's singing abilities. One Twitter user branded it 'surprisingly beautiful' while another said John was 'full of talent'. 'Such a beautiful tribute to a lovely lady John', one person replied. Jedward's John paid tribute to the fellow Irish star with a beautiful cover (Picture: Twitter) 'Think I maybe a tiny bit obsessed with this!!', tweeted another. This isn't the first time Jedward have expressed their love for){kind=link}
