Her song Nothing Compares 2 U, written by Prince, was named the number one world single in 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.She has three surviving children, but her 17-year-old son Shane passed away last year. The last post on her social media was a picture of him and the tweet: "Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul."

Her first album was hailed "a sensation", reaching gold record status and earning O’Connor a Grammy nomination.
