Sinead O'ConnorSo Different

In less than two years Sinéad O'Connor has become the most talked about woman in rock. Her striking appearance, controversial statements and worldwide chart success have catapulted the Dublin born singer to the forefront of pop. So Different is the unauthorized biography of Sinéad, written by Dublin journalist Dermott Hayes and researched through numerous interviews with her friends and musical associates.
It tells of Sinéad's stormy upbringing, her early musical experiences in Dublin and how she rocketed from minor art rock celebrity to megastardom following the release of the tearful video to accompany her version of Prince's song "Nothing compares 2U". Nine months later her album "I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got" had sold over six million copies and followed the single to the top of the UK, US and numerous other national charts.
But So Different also chronicles the problems Sinéad has encountered: her "row" with Dublin superstar U2, her outspokeness, her relationships with men and the childhood traumas which she has channelled into a positive creative force.
Sinéad O'Connor is "Bambi In Bovver Boots" - Dermott Hayes analyses her appeal and explains why she is... So Different. Includes many hitherto unpublished photographs and a comprehensive discography.
