Irish singer and activist Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56.

The singer's family announced the news "with great sadness", adding that "her family and friends are devastated".

She was best known for her single Nothing Compares 2 U, released in 1990, which reached number one and brought her worldwide fame.

Taoiseach (Irish PM) Leo Varadkar said her music "was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare".

Irish President Michael D Higgins praised O'Connor's "authenticity" as well as her "beautiful, unique voice".

"What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her," he said.

She converted to Islam in 2018.
Her real name was Shuhada Sadaqat.

I've known people who've converted from Anglican to Catholic - for reasons that they think it has more certainties... not much difference between the two actually.... but then my father was a Prod and my mother a Cat'lic and one set of great-greats were Jews, and some Jacobites - so I'm way beyond redemption..

Obsession with religion is it... just another form of madness if you ask me, plus a ship load of 'looka me' - I've converted to Islam .... all madness.

Don't feel that you're immune.
Every one of us is only one life crisis away from mental problems
which can tip anyone over the edge.
Consider people in Australia who had their homes washed away by floods -
I wonder how they are coping now?

Her teenage son died last year too Cry

She did it way better than Prince:

Her 17 year old son, Shane, killed himself last year after escaping hospital while there on suicide watch.

Even without a lifetime of trauma and mental illness, that would be tough to live with.

If you can't be a good example, you have to be a horrible warning.
