Sinéad O’Connor died Wednesday. She was 56.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” the legendary Irish singer’s family confirmed in a statement to RTÉ.
“Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”
Page Six has reached out to O’Connor’s rep for additional comment.
The provocative musician, who is survived by three children, notably canceled all of her gigs in June 2022 for her “health and well-being.”
The announcement came five months after the death of her 17-year-old son, Shane.
