This OP is a quick reminder that Sinead has died at age 56. The investigation on the cause of death is still on going at the time of this post.
Sinéad O’Connor, one of the greatest and most misunderstood voices of her generation, has died. The Irish singer-songwriter, who became a college-rock darling at age 20 with The Lion and the Cobra and an unlikely MTV pop star in 1990, thanks to her stunning cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” and its starkly powerful music video, was 56.
Her death was announced Wednesday in a statement sent to Irish media by her family, which read: “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.” No cause of death was given.
Trailblazing singer-songwriter Sinéad O’Connor dead at age 56
The singer paved the way for Liz Phair, Courtney Love, Shirley Manson and Tori Amos, but when she first came on the scene, she was a divisive and misunderstood figure, due to her political outspokenness and rejection of traditional femininity.
