Irish singer and activist Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56.
The singer's family announced the news "with great sadness", adding that "her family and friends are devastated".
She was best known for her single Nothing Compares 2 U, released in 1990, which reached number one and brought her worldwide fame.
Taoiseach (Irish PM) Leo Varadkar said her music "was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare".
Irish President Michael D Higgins praised O'Connor's "authenticity" as well as her "beautiful, unique voice".
"What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her," he said.
Social media was also flooded with tributes to the singer after her death was announced on Wednesday evening.
