Sinéad O’Connor, the Irish singer of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” has died. She was 56.

Her cause of death has yet to be revealed.

O’Connor, who was outspoken about her decades-long struggle with mental illness, wrote on her Facebook page earlier this month that she had moved back to London after 23 years and was finishing an album to be released next year.

She also shared plans to tour in Australia and New Zealand in 2024, and in Europe, the United States and other territories in 2025.

The singer, who was also outspoken in her social and political views, brought out 10 studio albums in all.

O’Connor’s death comes a year after her son Shane, 17, took his own life in January 2022, after escaping hospital while on suicide watch.
