Widely considered one of Ireland's greatest talents, Sinéad O'Connor initially rose to fame in the late '80s, with the release of her debut album, The Lion And The Cobra, and had a worldwide hit with 'Nothing Compares 2 U' from I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got in 1990. Over the last 12 months, she has made a triumphant return to music, with a run of sold-out shows, a stunning performance on the finale of  The Late Late Show, and an upcoming single set to arrive on October 2.
