Michael D Higgins leads tributes to Irish musician, saying the country has lost an ‘extraordinarily beautiful, unique voice’
The Dublin performer found worldwide fame with hit single Nothing Compares 2 U in 1990.
What terrible news. I always loved her voice.
Sad story, she was ahead of her time in many ways. I'm selfishly upset that I had to lose both her and Delores O'Riordan though.

Legends never die.
My favorite live performance from her...
Oh, this is poor news indeed.
She had a tough life, and was routinely treated incredibly unkindly for daring to voice
her opinionsthe truth.RIP
One of the most beautiful and powerful voices of all time. Very sad for her and her family.
Here is my favorite live performance by her:
Burning that picture of the pope was legendary, even without her incredible music she’d be remembered as an icon and iconoclast. Bless you.
She didn't burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn't held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don't even remember what she did.
I'd say remembering the message she intended to send is far more important than remembering what exactly she did to the picture.
