Singer Sinéad O'Connor has died. She was 56 years old. Cause of death has yet to be revealed.
Her family said in a statement, “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.”
Sinéad was best known for her single Nothing Compares 2 U, which was released in 1990 and was top in the charts.
Irish President Michael D Higgins released a statement, "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".
Belfast filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson, who had been working on a documentary film about O'Connor was devastated by her death.
She told BBC Radio 4's Front Row, "Our film really, for me, it was a love letter to Sinéad. It was made over many, many years. And made because of the impact she'd had on me as a young girl growing up in Ireland".
"She is one of the most radical, incredible musicians that we've had. And we were very, very lucky to have had her."
