Her unforgettable hit single, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” released in 1990, propelled her to global fame. The song was so impactful that it was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.

Recognizing her exceptional contribution to the music industry, Sinéad O’Connor was honored with the inaugural award for Classic Irish Album at the RTÉ Choice Music Awards earlier this year. During her acceptance speech, she received a standing ovation as she dedicated the award, for her album “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got,” to “each and every member of Ireland’s refugee community.”

With a heartfelt message, she expressed, “You’re very welcome in Ireland. I love you very much and I wish you happiness.”

Sinéad O’Connor leaves behind her three children. Sadly, her son Shane passed away last year at the age of 17. Sinéad’s legacy will live on through her music, forever touching the hearts of those who listened to her raw and powerful voice.
