While Morrissey isn't overly happy with the kind of tributes that are being posted on social media about Sinéad O'Connor, a couple of other musical artists decide to do something besides post. And it was pretty awesome.
On Saturday during the set at the Fuji Rock festival, the Foo Fighters decided to bring out a special performer, Alanis Morissette. But the two great artists didn't just do an old Morissette tune, they instead performed "Mandinka" from Sinéad O'Connor's debut album, The Lion and the Cobra. The performance was everything you'd want it to be, and did justice to the O'Connor original, albeit in a very Foo Fighters style.
It actually says quite a bit about the singer O'Connor was that Morissette seems to have a harder time with the lower notes of the song. She doesn't sound bad, but she certainly isn't as loud. Here is what the performance looked like.
Hayley Williams has health concerns, the Foo Fighters and Alanis Morissette do Sinéad, and Taylor Swift causes a beast quake
As far as Paramore's Hayley Williams is concerned, she posted on Instagram last week that she had "a week of misery, sadness, and bellyfuls of antibiotics and steroids." Her illness caused her band to postpone four west coast dates. They are all expected to be rescheduled, however.

It appears she started getting ill with some kind of virus while the band was playing a gig in Houston but she tried to fight through it, but kept getting worse. The good thing, however, is the band was able to do their show in Tulsa on Saturday, so all seems fine now.
Finally, Taylor Swift did something that only Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch had been able to do before. That is that Swift and her Swifties caused a seismic event during her recent concert in Seattle. Lynch's run against the New Orleans Saints in the 2010 playoffs set off a crowd frenzy that registered on a nearby Richter scale.
Meanwhile, seismologist Jackie Caplan-Auerbach said that either Swift's fans or the sound system during her concert at Lumen Field caused a 2.3 magnitude earthquake. Will Taylor Swift never stop finding new ways to do things?
