Hvem daterede Sinéad O'Connor?

Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor ( shin-AYD, Irish: [ˈʃɪnʲed̪ˠ]; 8 December 1966 – 26 July 2023), also known as Shuhada' Sadaqat, was an Irish singer, musician and activist. During her musical career, which encompassed several hit records and artist collaborations, O'Connor drew attention to issues such as child abuse, human rights, racism, and women's rights. She was also known for her outspoken public image, openly discussing her spiritual journey, activism, socio-political viewpoints, and struggled with mental health.

O'Connor's debut studio album, The Lion and the Cobra, was released in 1987 and achieved international chart success. Her 1990 album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, was her biggest commercial success, selling over seven million copies worldwide. Its lead single, "Nothing Compares 2 U", became her signature song and was named the top world single of the year at the Billboard Music Awards. During a performance on Saturday Night Live in 1992, O'Connor tore up a photograph of Pope John Paul II which sparked global controversy, nearly a decade before the Catholic Church sexual abuse cases became widely publicized.

O'Connor's next albums Am I Not Your Girl? (1992) and Universal Mother (1994) were both certified gold in the UK, while Faith and Courage (2000) was certified gold in Australia and Throw Down Your Arms (2005) was certified gold in Ireland. Having converted to Islam in 2018, she adopted the name Shuhada' Sadaqat while continuing to perform and record under her birth name. Her memoir, Rememberings, was released in 2021 and became a bestseller. In 2024, O'Connor was posthumously nominated for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Peter Brian Gabriel (født 13. februar 1950 i Surrey, England) er en engelsk musiker. Han fik sit gennembrud som sanger i gruppen Genesis, hvor han spillede en afgørende rolle som karismatisk frontfigur. Han klædte sig ud i forskellige kostumer, f.eks. med et rævehoved eller som en gigantisk solsikke. I 1975 forlod han gruppen for at gå solo.

Gabriel har siden sin første soloplade i 1977 kredset omkring et meget subjektivt og eksperimenterende udtryk og har været åben over for ikke-vestlig musik.

Med pladen So fra 1986 brød han for alvor igennem hitmuren. Herfra stammer monsterhittet Sledgehammer, som bl.a. nåede 1.pladsen i USA.

Andre hits fra So er Big Time og Don't Give Up – en duet med Kate Bush. Generelt er Gabriel blevet hyldet som en kunstner, der er populær uden at gå på kompromis med sin musik.

Selvom han i sine unge år havde afvist en plads på filmskolen, forblev han interesseret i det visuelle. Videoen til Sledgehammer var banebrydende, bl.a. på grund af sin animation, og vandt 9 MTV Awards foruden flere andre priser.

Peter Gabriel står desuden bag pladeselskabet Real World.
