In an expletive filled post on Facebook earlier today, the Irish musician, who is 48 years old questioned why the iconic music publication would place reality TV star Kim Kardashian on its front page. "What is this c*** doing on the cover of Rolling Stone?," she wrote below a snapshot of the upcoming issue cover featuring Kanye West's 34-year-old wife. "Music has officially died. Who knew it would be Rolling Stone that murdered it? Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh can no longer be expected to take all the blame. Bob Dylan must be f***ing horrified. #BoycottRollingStone"
This is not the first time that the controversial singer has hit the headlines after sparking an online feud. A public argument between O'Connor and Miley Cyrus began on the pages of non other than Rolling Stone. In an interview, the former 'Hannah Montana' actress-turned-pop-superstar referenced O'Connor's 'Nothing Compares 2 U' video as an inspiration for her own 'Wrecking Ball' clip. An open letter from O'Connor advising Miley to not let the music industry 'make a prostitute out of you' fuelled the fire for an ongoing war of words.
Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor is an Irish singer-songwriter who rose to fame in the late 1980s with her debut album The Lion and the Cobra. In addition to her ten solo albums her work includes many singles, songs for films, collaborations with many other artists and appearances at charity fundraising concerts. She has been married four times. Her first marriage was to music producer John Reynolds, who co-produced several of her albums, including Universal Mother. They have one child together. They split up on good terms and Reynolds continues to work as her producer and drummer.
Her second marriage was to journalist Nicholas Sommerlad in 2002. For a period during 2006 and early 2007, she had a relationship with Frank Bonadio, the father of her fourth child. O'Connor acknowledged to the Irish Daily Mirror that the two had separated as of the weekend of 17 February 2007, citing difficulties between Bonadio and his former wife, singer Mary Coughlan.
