Sinead O'Connor dead at 56

Rickey

Controversial Irish pop singer Sinead O’Connor has died. She was 56.

She’s most famous for two things:

Her worldwide hit “Nothing Compares 2 U”, which many don’t know is a Prince cover.

And her musical guest appearance on SNL where she ripped a photo of the Pope, denouncing the rampant pedophilia in the Catholic Church.

Oh and her bald haircut, which was radical at the time (even now actually), for a female pop singer.

No cause of death given as of now. (Via Irish Times)
