Her relatives broke the news, saying “her family and friends are devastated,” “with great sadness.” It is unknown what caused the death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was best known for the 1990 single Nothing Compares 2 U, which peaked at number one and made her a household name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leo Varadkar, the Taoiseach (Irish PM), stated that her brilliance was unsurpassed and that her music was “loved around the world.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael D. Higgins, the president of Ireland, hailed O’Connor<\/a> for her “authenticity” and “beautiful, distinctive voice.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Born Sinead Marie Bernadette O’Connor in Glenageary, County Dublin, in December 1966, the singer had a difficult childhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a teenager, she was placed in Dublin’s An Grianan Training Centre, once one of the notorious Magdalene laundries, originally set up to incarcerate young girls deemed to be promiscuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One nun bought her a guitar and set her up with a music teacher – which led to the launch of O’Connor<\/a>‘s musical career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
