Sinéad O’Connor has died at age 56.
The Irish Times reported the legendary singer’s passing on Wednesday but did not disclose further details.
O’Connor, 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.
“We would like to respectfully announce that due to continuing grief over the tragic loss of her beloved son Shane earlier this year, Sinead O’Connor will not be performing live in 2022,” her management team wrote at the time.
“Thank you to Sinead’s friends and fans whose support and understanding we hold in the highest esteem throughout this period,” the statement continued. “The love being shown has been a source of great comfort and peace for Sinead.”

Prior to his death by suicide, Shane was hospitalized for two previous attempts.
“the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God,” O’Connor wrote via Instagram after Shane’s death. “May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby, I love you so much. Please be at peace.”
The Grammy winner is also the mother of son Jake, 36, daughter Roisin, 27, and son Yeshua, 16.
