About Sinead O'Connor
Sinéad O'Connor was a powerful and pioneering artist known for her courage and distinctive voice. Her 1987 debut album The Lion and the Cobra fused rock, hip-hop, and electronic pop with bold, controversial themes. She gained major fame with her 1990 album I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, featuring the massive hit "Nothing Compares 2 U", a Prince song that she well and truly made her own.O'Connor’s career was marked by both critical acclaim and controversy, including her 1992 protest against the Catholic Church’s handling of sexual abuse cases on Saturday Night Live. Despite this, she continued to innovate, exploring various musical styles from jazz and reggae to Irish folk and electronic music across albums like Am I Not Your Girl? (1992), Universal Mother (1994), and Throw Down Your Arms (2005).
She remained active with albums such as Faith and Courage (2000) and Theology (2007), and later work included How About I Be Me (And You Be You)? (2012) and I’m Not Bossy, I’m The Boss (2014). O'Connor also published a critically acclaimed memoir, Rememberings, in 2021.
O'Connor’s final years were marked by personal tragedy and professional reflection. After the death of her son Shane in 2022, she cancelled upcoming performances and worked on new music. She died on 26 July 2023, at the age of 56. Her influence on music and outspoken advocacy for social issues left a lasting impact on the music world.

I remember she had a video where she had long hair, but it was actually a wig, then she took it off, I guess to prove that she was not selling out. She looks a lot better with hair.
