Kdo je hodil z Sinéad O'Connor?

Sinéad O'Connor, z uradnim imenom Shuhada' Sadaqat, znana tudi kot Magda Davitt, rojena kot Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor [šinéjd méri bernadét o'kônor], irska pevka in glasbenica, * 8. december 1966, Dublin, † 26. julij 2023, Dublin, Irska.

Sinéad je dobila ime po Sinéad de Valera, ženi tretjega irskega predsednika Éamona de Valere, in materi zdravnika, ki je vodil porod, ter po Bernardki Lurški. Bila je tretji otrok v družini petih otrok, sestra Josepha, Eimearja, Johna in Eoina. Joseph O'Connor je priznan pisatelj. Njen oče Jack O'Connor je bil gradbeni inženir in kasneje odvetnik. Mati Marie O'Connor se je mlada poročila z očetom. Starša sta se razšla, ko je bilo Sinéad osem let. Z glasbo se je Sinéad pričela ukvarjati v šoli, ko je ustanovila tudi svojo prvo skupino. Na račun svojega prodornega glasu je dobila pogodbo z založbo Ensign in izdala album The Lion and the Cobra, ki je postal hit, svetovno slavo pa je dosegla z izvedbo Princeove skladbe »Nothing Compares 2 U« leta 1990.

Znana je bila tudi po občasnih kontroverznih izjavah o organizirani religiji, pravicah žensk, vojni in zlorabi otrok. Največji škandal je povzročila leta 1992, ko je med pogovorno oddajo na televiziji raztrgala fotografijo papeža Janez Pavla II. z besedami »Fight the real enemy« (»Bojuj(te) se proti pravemu sovražniku«).

Leta 2018 se je spreobrnila v islam in se uradno preimenovala v Shuhado' Sadaqat, vendar je v glasbenem svetu kljub temu ostala znana s prejšnjim imenom.

Peter Brian Gabriel (born 13 February 1950) is an English singer, songwriter, musician, and human rights activist. He came to prominence as the original frontman of the rock band Genesis. He left the band in 1975 and launched a solo career with "Solsbury Hill" as his first single. After releasing four successful studio albums, all titled Peter Gabriel, his fifth studio album, So (1986), became his best-selling release and is certified triple platinum in the UK and five times platinum in the US. The album's most successful single, "Sledgehammer", won a record nine MTV Awards at the 1987 MTV Video Music Awards. A 2011 Time report said "Sledgehammer" was the most played music video of all time on MTV.

A supporter of world music for much of his career, Gabriel co-founded the World of Music, Arts and Dance (WOMAD) festival in 1982, and has continued to produce and promote world music through his Real World Records label. He has pioneered digital distribution methods for music by co-founding OD2, one of the first online music download services. He has also been involved in numerous humanitarian efforts. In 1980, he released the anti-apartheid single "Biko". He has participated in several human rights benefit concerts, including Amnesty International's Human Rights Now! tour in 1988, and co-founded the human rights organisation Witness in 1992.
