Irish music legend Sinead O’Connor, known for her hit single Nothing Compares 2 U, has died at the age of 56.

O’Connor’s family released a statement saying “it is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” acording to the BBC.

“Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar said in a statement on social media that O’Connor’s “music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare”.

O’Connor’s cause of death has not been disclosed.

She is survived by her three children: Jake, Roisin and Yeshua.

Her son Shane died last year at the age of 17.

The singer-songwriter became a superstar in her mid-20s but was known as much for her private struggles and provocative actions as for her fierce and expressive music.

Nothing Compares 2 U received three Grammy nominations and was the featured track off her acclaimed album I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, which helped lead Rolling Stone to name her Artist of the Year in 1991.
