A troubled Sinéad O'Connor, who never really recovered from her teen son's suicide a year or so ago has died at age 56.

Irish singer and musician Sinéad O’Connor has died, the Irish Times reported Wednesday. “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” the singer’s family said in a statement. “Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.

I was present for one of her SRO performances in a Dublin pub in 2012. Amazing talent with the voice of an angel! (Depending on the selection, of course!)

The artist wrote on her Facebook page in early July that she was finishing an album to be released next year, and also shared plans to head out on a global tour in 2024-2025.

O’Connor was an eight-time Grammy nominee, winning Best Alternative Music Performance in 1991 for her international breakthrough album, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got.” Additionally, she won three MTV Video Music Awards for her rendition of the Prince-written “Nothing Compares 2 U.” That track reached No. 1 in several countries and remained at the top of the charts in Ireland for 11 weeks. The Billboard Music Awards named it the No. 1 world single of 1990.

She endured a horrific life and had incredible talent. She fought against much of the evils that are just now becoming exposed in the world before people had any awareness. Very interesting to research and read about her life.
