Sinead to dish 'sexual dirt' in new book

Sinead O’Connor is writing an autobiography in which she promises to dish “the sexual dirt” on her former partners.

Penguin Random House imprint Blue Rider Press said the four-times-married Irish singer-songwriter’s book, currently untitled, would be published in March 2016.

O’Connor, 47, has described herself as three-quarters heterosexual and one-quarter gay. In a statement issued through her publisher she pledged to reveal all about her liaisons.

The singer, who had hits including Nothing Compares 2 U, is renowned for her blunt, confrontational style.

She famously tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II during a 1992 appearance on NBC’s Saturday Night Live.
