“Ms O’Connor converted to Islam in 2018 and changed her name to Shuhada Sadaqat, though continued to perform under the name Sinead O’Connor.”
That’s utterly bizarre. Thought she was against the church and child abuse.

That's when her career was destroyed. Her life was destroyed when he son committed suicide.
Conservatives canceled O'Connor long before the same Conservatives started crying about being canceled for doing what she was protesting about and got canceled for.
Right! People always reacting without understanding. Sinead knew these things were happening and they absolutely crucified her for speaking out. During his opening monologue the following week, Catholic-raised host Joe Pesci held up the photo, explaining that he had taped it back together, to huge applause. Pesci also said that if it had been his show, "I would have gave [sic] her such a smack".

Fuckin' hell. Only 56.
Rest In Power, Sinead!
Pretty sure her life was destroyed well before that by Magdalene Laundries
True. The Church: destroying lives since, well, since it ever was a thing.
