Sinead O'Connor has now compared the members of U2 to terrorists, slamming the band for their decision to have their new album 'Songs Of Innocence' automatically uploaded into iTunes users' music libraries.

Speaking to The Mail on Sunday's Event magazine, she explained: "What they did with iTunes was a badly-judged move.

"There was something almost terrorist about it.

"I'm really not a U2 fan but it wasn't at all kosher invading people's lives like that. It was bad management."

The singer accused the band - made up of Bono, Adam Clayton, The Edge and Larry Mullen Jr - of not "standing by their album" and instead choosing to "force it on people who didn't want it in the first place."

Bono has already apologised for giving away the record in the way they did, claiming he and the band got "carried away.

He had said: "I'm sorry about that. I had this beautiful idea and we got carried away with ourselves - artists are prone to that kind of thing.

"Drop of megalomania, twitch of generosity, dash of self-promotion and deep fear that these songs that we've poured our life into over the last few years mightn't be heard.

"There's a lot of noise out there. I guess we got a little noisy ourselves to get through it."
