(Dublin) — Singer Sinead O’Connor is dead according to the Irish Times. O’Connor was 56 years old. O’Connor is known for hits including “I Want Your Hands On Me” and her version of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.” Her son, Shane, died at the age of 17 last year. O’Connor was criticized universally in 1992 when she ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul the Second on Saturday Night Live. She later said the move was meant to denounce the Catholic church and child abuse.
