Devastating. I was just reading an article earlier today about stars who were treated unfairly at the time and she was at the top, justifiably so. Abhorrent how she was treated for speaking against the Catholic church. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with her three surviving children.
Irish singer and activist Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56.
In a statement, the singer's family said: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.
"Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time."
She was best known for her single Nothing Compares 2 U, released in 1990, which went on to hit number one around the world.
Taoiseach (Irish PM) Leo Varadkar paid tribute to her, saying her music "was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare".
The singer, who was outspoken in her social and political views, brought out 10 studio albums in all.
