Gone, but never forgotten. Her fighting spirit still lingers. - Kelly
In a statement, the singer’s family said: “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.”
The acclaimed Dublin performer released 10 studio albums, while her song Nothing Compares 2 U was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards. Her version of the ballad, written by musician Prince, topped the charts around the globe and earned her three Grammy nominations.

I never knew any of the two personally, but they both seemed to have their inner demons. I do not think that Sinéad was a liar. She definitely had no filter when it came to her expressiveness, and I think she tried to backtrack some things that she said openly, because of having no filter. An Irish trait? Prince was an 'expressive' artist, as well, but he did it differently than Sinéad. Prince was more of a quiet/private person. Both were eccentric, however. And, both were passionate about their values, their beliefs, their motivations, their ideas, and their work.
Sadly, Sinéad and Prince are now deceased. The rock and roll life isn't what it's cracked up to be. Some people are miserable, some people have no filter, some people lose their children to suicide, and some people take drugs, for whatever reason. That'd make them human, at least. Let's just respect the dead, and stop with the gossip.
A few references regarding the conflict between Sinéad and Prince:
- The story of Sinead O’Connor’s ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ – and her eventful encounter with Prince (The Independent)
- Sinead O'Connor Claims Prince Tried to 'Beat Her Up' | Good Morning Britain (YouTube)
Sinéad's details lead me to believe that she was telling the truth. It may be that Prince was not happy with her, perhaps due to her success with covering HIS song. Keep in mind that, Prince still received money with her success. The story leads me to believe that they were both under the influence of 'something,' and things got really out of hand. Despite that 'one song,' Sinéad released several successful albums in her career, and she deserves credit for all of it.
Bottom line, I'll always remember Sinéad for her music, and that she was an advocate for child abuse. Some of us can relate to her story, like I do. Some adults whom have been abused as children have great difficulty in expressing themselves. Blame the parent, not the child. Some parents never get accountability, so it's the 'child turned adult' that has to tell the story, over and over again, in order to have others understand them. And, that really, really, really sucks.

SHE tried to trash Prince; SHAME.
SHE ALSO DENIED FRIENDS publicly!
I am sorry for her loss but she did not ever honor others and in fact trashed while the opposite was possible for her...
I'm sorry for her death; I am NOT sorry for her loss...
⬆️This response is not accurate, which it seems the sole intent for this post was to belittle Sinéad O'Connor and disrespect her, obviously favoring Prince. Prince was absolutely no saint, but there's a time and a place to post this sort of thing. Not when people are mourning the loss of someone. 'Out of touch,' is what they say. 🙄
