Lennox performed 'Nothing Compares 2 U' at the Grammys 2024 as part of the music awards In Memoriam montage. 

Her performance was dedicated to her late friend, the late Irish singer Sinead O'Connor.

Other than Lennox, members of the indie group Boygenius-Phoebe Bridgers, Julian Baker and Lucy Dacus- wore the Artists for Ceasefire pins at the Grammys 2024 to support the call for a ceasefire in Gaza. 

The Artists for Ceasefire Movement began in the final months of 2023 with various celebrities and artists co-signing a message to US President Joe Biden to end the ongoing war in Gaza. 

Some prominent celebrities who have supported the movement are Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez, Jenna Ortega, Bella Hadid, Yara Shahidi, and Andrew Garfield.
