NOTHING COMPARES

AS THE WORLD MOURNS HER TRAGIC LOSS, WHO REMEMBERS SOME OF THE SINGER’S GREATEST MOMENTS

- Sara Tapia

The world may have lost a true icon when Sinéad O'Connor passed away on July 26, but the Irish singer left an indelible mark in her short, but influential, 56 years of life. With fierce honesty, intense presence and uncompromising spirit, O'Connor first burst onto the music scene when she dropped her debut album The Lion and the Cobra in 1987. But it wasn't until the release of the hit 'Nothing Compares 2 U' three years later that she was thrust into the global spotlight.
