    Irish popstar Sinéad O'Connor - who shot to fame in 1990 for her version of "Nothing Compares 2 U" - has converted to Islam.

    The singer revealed the news on Twitter, adding she has changed her name to Shuhada' Davitt.

    The 51-year-old said the decision to convert to Islam was the "the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey".

    "All scripture study leads to Islam," she said. "Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada'."

    O'Connor then posted a selfie of herself wearing a hijab in front of a board with a message reading: "You have taken my body, you have taken my mind, you have taken my children, but you will never take my voice."

    In a video posted to the social media platform, Davitt sang the Azan - the Islamic call to prayer - later apologising for any pronunciation mistakes.

    "Thank you so much to all my Muslim brothers and sisters who have been so kind as to welcome me to Ummah (community) today on this page," she wrote, following the initial messages. "You can't begin to imagine how much your tenderness means to me."

    Pure attention seeking.

    Wouldn’t imagine it’s attention seeking for fame. She is public interest and although she has done * all of note in years her stock is still high in America. Sinéad O Connor has a lot of mental issues and drug and alcohol abuse through the years. I’m no massive fan and don’t know what makes her tick but I know she was institutionalised a few times for having massive breakdowns. I do believe she is full of self importance but aren’t we all sometimes. Nothing like yourself. As I say hope she stays good as much as I hope anyone stays good.:50:

    I hope it works for her but she's probably just going through another one of her phases.

    Let’s see what happens when she has a rant about Islam as she did with the Catholic Church. :fear:

    I hope you get comfort from calling Callum McGregor a Bolton player. Think you need Allah more than Sinéad does.
