Sinéad O'Connor(1966-2023)

On the 3rd October 1992, she caused a huge international stir when she tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II, live on Tim Robbins/Sinéad O'Connor (1992), while shouting "Fight the REAL enemy!" after singing an a capella version of Bob Marley's "War". Almost immediately, NBC received over a thousand phone calls with complaints. To this day, NBC refuses to ever air the incident again, and all subsequent reruns of that show have a pre-show recording of her singing the song. O'Connor also received a permanent ban from the show.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm now in the business of making spiritual records and using my voice for that purpose. I'm not going to be singing songs that I made in the past. I closed the door on that incarnation of Sinead O'Connor.
