Sinead O’Connor Has Been Through the Wringer

Few music artists have been more compelling and controversial than Sinéad O’Connor, at least back in the day. The thing is that O’Connor hasn’t stopped making heads turn and eyebrows raise since her infamous Pope photo-tearing incident on Saturday Night Live. While the Irish singer-songwriter has made it to the top of her music game, she’s also suffered the lowest of lows.

O’Connor is now in her mid-50s and hasn’t been on our radar lately, probably because she’s been facing her inner demons. Well, to put it in her own words: she’s “spent most of the time in the nuthouse. I’ve been practically living there for six years.”

Ladies and gentlemen, this is a tribute to the artist Sinead O’Connor.
