Irish singer and songwriter Sinéad O’Connor passed away at the age of 56. In 1992, during her appearance on Saturday Night Live, O’Connor tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II to protest the sexual abuse of children within the Catholic Church, which was not well-known at the time. Her protest received heavy criticism and led to her ban from SNL. However, history would later vindicate O’Connor’s concerns with the Catholic Church’s abuse and cover-ups. Despite the backlash, O’Connor remained steadfast in her belief and saw herself as a protest singer rather than a pop star.
