Sinead O’Connor has died, aged 56. No cause of death has yet been made public.In a statement to Irish broadcaster RTE, her family said: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinead.
Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time”.Born in Dublin in 1966, O’Connor first gained attention as a singer fronting the band Ton Ton Macoute in the mid-1980s.
Off the back of this, she branched out as a solo artist, with her first single – ‘Heroine’ in 1986 – co-written with U2 guitarist The Edge for the soundtrack of the film ‘Captive’.Her debut album ‘The Lion And The Cobra’ was released the following year and was relatively successful, achieving top 40 chart positions in several countries, including the UK and US.
However, it was the follow-up – 1990’s ‘I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got’ – that catapulted her to global fame.The album’s lead single was her cover of Prince’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, which became one of the most successful releases globally that year.Throughout her career it remained the song she was best known for – and her version is undoubtedly better known than the original.
