Speaking about finding the religion, O’Connor toldThe Late Late Show‘s host: ”I read chapter two of the Qu’ran and I realized I’m home, and that I’ve been a Muslim all my life. There’s a way of thinking.

                                                                                                                                                                                                     

“You can be a Muslim without actually being a Muslim as it’s a headset. A Muslim is someone who believes nothing should be worshipped except God. ”

                                                                                                                                                                                                             

The singer has courted controversy throughout her career. In June 2016, she dismissed reports she was missing and had threatened to jump off a bridge, labeling the claim “False and malicious gossip”. ******                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

In 2015, she wrote a Facebook post claming that she had overdosed on pills in a hotel room in Ireland. She was later found safe and taken to hospital.

                                                                                                                     

She famously ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II during aSaturday Night Liveappearance in 1992.
