After her passing, many celebs paid tribute to O'Connor and the impact she had on the industry.

"Sinead was a profound inspiration to many," Alanis Morrissette wrote in a July 26 Instagram Story. "And to me. Her passion, poetry, and unapologetic expression raised the bar on artistry and female empowerment. Her questioning of societal norms deeply influenced culture's appreciation of female complexity."

The "You Oughta Know" singer continued, "Her ability to vulnerably dwell on the small part of the bell-shaped curve was thought provoking, stirring and inspiring. I'm feeling empathy for Ireland, for the world, and for all of us who are saddened by this news."
