The perpetually misunderstood artist, who famously tore up a photo of the pope to protest child abuse, bared her soul in her music and 2021 memoir Rememberings.
“A lot of people say or think that tearing up the pope’s photo derailed my career,” she wrote. “That’s not how I feel about it. I feel that having a No. 1 record derailed my career and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track.”O’Connor was the rare music star who took a stand and didn’t back down. Early in her career, her record company pressured her to get an abortion and admonished her for shaving her head. She had her baby and kept her signature stubble.
My intention had always been to destroy my mother’s photo of the pope. It represented lies and liars and abuse. The type of people who kept these things were devils like my mother. I never knew when or where or how I would destroy it, but destroy it I would when the right moment came. And with that in mind, I carefully brought it everywhere I lived from that day forward. Because nobody ever gave a shit about the children of Ireland.
