She had four siblings, Eimear, John, Eoin, and novelist Joseph. O’Connor’s parents divorced when she was young. She became a victim of child abuse at the hands of her mother. At the age of fifteen, O’Connor was placed into a reform school for shoplifting. She later attended Newton School in Waterford but dropped out shy of graduating.

The album peaked at #1 on the Billboard 200, sold 7 million copies, and picked up four Grammy nominations. The album featured the hit single “Nothing Compares 2 U”, written by Prince.
Other albums by O’Connor include ‘Am I Not Your Girl? (1992)’, ‘Faith and Courage (2000)’, and more recently ‘How About I Be Me (and You Be You)? (2012)’, and ‘I’m Not Bossy, I’m the Boss (2014)’. O’Connor also had her share of controversy starting back in 1989 when she announced her support for the Irish Republican Army.
