Sinead O'Connor has died at the age of 56. Irish media quoted her family on Wednesday (7-26) as saying: "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinead. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time." Recognizable by her shaved head and wide eyes, O'Connor released 10 studio albums. Her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra, although too Celtic for most of radio, earned her a Grammy nomination. Her second album earned her a #1 hit with "Nothing Compares 2 U," written by Prince. With that, she earned four more Grammy noms. The same year, she won for best alternative music performance - but she shunned the ceremony in protest at the "false and destructive materialistic values" of the music industry. Born in Dublin, she wrote in her 2021 memoir, Rembemberings: "Everyone wants a pop star, see? But I am a protest singer. I just had stuff to get off my chest. I had no desire
