 Prince apparently called O'Connor to his house and hit her (Picture: Patrick Neame/Mirrorpix/Getty Images) Over the years the This Is The Day singer has accused Prince of being furious at her success with his record which she transformed into a power ballad. O'Connor's version became a chart hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and staying there for four weeks as well as reaching the tops of the UK charts. The pair had not met before this moment, although O'Connor believed her manager and Prince had had some disagreement prior. Prince apparently summoned O'Connor to his mansion for the dressing down but allegedly turned violent, offering a pillow fight to settle their differences. She claimed the music legend hit her with a hard object hidden inside a pillowcase, although she backtracked on her claims in 2004. After Prince's death in 2016 from an overdose, O'Connor took her report to the police. It wasn't until after his death that O'Connor spoke out against Prince again (Picture: Andrew Chin/Getty Images) O'Connor has been remembered fondly by the world of music (Picture: Getty Images) 'It's not just drugs he was into, it was darkness,'){kind=link}
