Sinead O'Connor has died at the age of 56 after years of mental health battles, her 'devastated' family confirmed.
The Irish singer shot to stardom across the world in 1990 by her heartrending cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U.
It comes a year after the mother-of-four's son Shane, 17, took his life in January 2022 after escaping hospital while on suicide watch.
At the time of her death, the musician, who changed her name to Shuhada' Sadaqat in 2018 when she converted to Islam, was thought to be spending her time between Co Roscommon, Ireland, and London.
In her last Tweet, O'Connor posted a photo of Shane and said: 'Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul.
'We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally.
'I am lost in the bardo without him.'
The mother-of-four also posted a series of Spotify links to relatively sad and heart breaking songs, including one she dedicated to 'all mothers of Suicided children'.
In a statement, O'Connor'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.'

Shane: Don’t worry, mom! You will get used to the smell of sulphur after a while.
REALLY? She was a HORRIBLE person.
Ditto that...
No need to wonder, because it’s true. Comes from experience.
“When they don’t even mention it, that’s a clue.”
And even when they do give a cause it is also a clue!
Troubled soul....NICE WAY OF SAYING NUTCASE!
+ May Christ have mercy on her, and on us +
Munchausen by proxy.
Losing a child will do that to anyone. Worst worst worst thing ever. I pray I never go through that. I have four children too. Scary.
She was a very disturbed individual. Needed help real bad. Apparently didn’t get it.
Freaks do freaky things. Not surprised.
Abuse knows no gender specificity…
she resides with the other nuts now
I think that God might have mercy on the soul of someone so mentally ill.
Was it suicide???
“She ripped up a picture of the best pope of the last century and called him the real enemy. This was long before her child ever committed suicide.”
I still remember that. My unit was out on maneuvers at the Graf, GE. One guy did a heavy accented skit of Vito Corleone commenting on her tearing up the Pope JPII’s photo. “I swear upon the graves of my grandchildren such a heinous act by this woman will bear a horrible toll for her sacrilege and desecration....” Can’t say the guy’s skit was that wrong.
Evil is as evil does.
Not shedding any tears over this POS.
Joe Pesci hosted SNL the following week, and held up a picture of the Pope and said, “She’s lucky she wasn’t hosting my show, I’d give her such a smack!”
Encephalitis? That’s no walk-in-the-park.
The thing is he actually looks better in that pic than he did years ago.
