She told her fans that there would "never be anything to sing about again". The iconic Irish singer, who crooned a version of one of the most famous 90s songs in the world, Nothing Compares 2 U, was sadly confirmed dead yesterday, July 26, at the age of 56.

Her family confirmed the heartbreaking news with a statement that read: "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." As the news came only a year and a half after she lost her beloved son to suicide, fans and colleagues flooded social media with tributes.

As the music industry mourns the loss of such a singular performer - Sinéad was most recently featured singing the title theme on the Outlander season seven credits - it turns out that the star had struggled to return to her passion after losing her teenage child.
