Sinéad O’Connor, the acclaimed singer behind “Nothing Compares 2 U” has died.

O’Connor’s family says, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad. Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”

Sinéad’s music career kicked off in a big way with the release of “The Lion and the Cobra” — her first album — back in 1987.

The album earned her a Grammy nom for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance and reached gold status.

However, Sinéad’s 1990 album, “I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got” — which contained her biggest hit, “Nothing Compares 2 U” — propelled her to stardom.

The single, written by Prince, scored her a win for Video of the Year at the MTV Video Awards.

Sinéad continued to record, release and tour music over the next several decades, but announced she was postponing all of her tour dates in 2020 until 2022 to enter a one-year trauma and addiction treatment program.

At the time, she stated, “I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts.”

Sinéad announced her retirement from music in June 2021.

She’s survived by her three children, Jake, Roisin and Yeshua.

Sinéad was only 56
