Shuhada Sadaqat (born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O’Connor on 8 December 1966; is an Irish singer-songwriter. Her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra was released in 1987 and charted internationally. Her second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got received glowing reviews upon release and became her biggest success, selling over seven million copies worldwide. Its lead single, “Nothing Compares 2 U” (written by Prince), was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.
She has released ten studio albums: 1992’s Am I Not Your Girl? and 1994’s Universal Mother both went gold in the UK, 2000’s Faith and Courage received a gold status in Australia, and 2005’s Throw Down Your Arms went gold in Ireland. Her work also includes songs for films, collaborations with many other artists, and appearances at charity fundraising concerts. Her 2021 memoir Rememberings was a best seller.
Throughout her music career, she has been unabashedly honest about her spiritual journey, activism, socio-political views, as well as her trauma and mental health struggles.
On 4 June 2021, O’Connor announced her immediate retirement from the music industry. While her final studio album, No Veteran Dies Alone, is due to be released in 2022, O’Connor stated that she would not be touring or promoting it. Announcing the news on Twitter, she said “This is to announce my retirement from touring and from working in the record business. I’ve gotten older and I’m tired. So it’s time for me to hang up my nipple tassels, having truly given my all. NVDA in 2022 will be my last release. And there’ll be no more touring or promo.” Later, on 7 June, she retracted this statement, describing the original announcement as “a knee-jerk reaction” to an insensitive interview, and that she would be doing her already scheduled 2022 tour.

Where does Sinéad O’Connor live?
As well as an Irish Republican, some of us might think of O’Connor as being a Catholic priest, a Rastafarian, a sex symbol, a musical icon, or, more recently, a Muslim convert. She’s also a grandmother and now likes to sit peacefully at home, alone, smoking and knitting while watching detective shows.
She lives in a cottage on top of a mountain “in a lovely little village with no one but eccentrics and cows on one side and ducks on the other”.
