Acclaimed Irish singer Sinead O’Connor dies aged 56

This came amid a long-running battle with mental health and substance abuse throughout her long career which started in the 1980 and 1990s.

In 2020, the music icon said she was entering one-year rehab program for “trauma and addiction”.

Sinead O’Connor announced the move in a Twitter post to fans, saying: “Shows are being postponed until 2022 so that I may go into a one-year trauma and addiction treatment program because I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts.”
