Sinéad O'Connor

NTS aired an episode dedicated to the music of Sinéad O'Connor on 7 August 2023. Sinéad O'Connor has been played on NTS over 110 times, featured on 93 episodes and was first played on 8 May 2015.

Shuhada' Sadaqat (previously Magda Davitt; born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor; 8 December 1966 – 26 July 2023), known professionally as Sinéad O'Connor, was an Irish singer and musician who rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. O'Connor achieved worldwide success in 1990 with a new arrangement of Prince's song "Nothing Compares 2 U".

Since then, while maintaining her singing career, she has occasionally encountered controversy, partly due to her statements and gestures—such as her ordination as a priest despite being a woman with a Roman Catholic background—and her strongly expressed views on organised religion, women's rights, war, and child abuse.

In addition to her ten solo albums her work includes many singles, songs for films, collaborations with many other artists and appearances at charity fundraising concerts.

Since converting to Islam in 2018 she has changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat.

In December 2019 she gave her first UK concert in five years at the Shepherd's Bush Empire, London.

On 26 July 2023, O'Connor's family issued a statement that she had died at the age of 56, without indicating the date or cause.

In the 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.
