Sinéad O'Connor

Biography

Shuhada' Sadaqat (born Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor; December 8, 1966 – July 26, 2023), better known as Sinéad O'Connor, was an Irish singer-songwriter, musician, and activist. Her career encompassed songs for films, collaborations with numerous artists, and appearances at charity fundraising concerts. Known for often drawing attention to issues involving child abuse, human rights, racism, and women's rights, she became a controversial figure for tearing up a photograph of Pope John Paul II to protest against abuse in the Catholic Church during an SNL live performance in 1992. She converted to Islam in 2018 and changed her name to Shuhada' Sadaqat, but didn't stop using her birthname professionally.
