The Irish singer, who was once ordained a priest by the Irish Orthodox and Apostolic Church, made the announcement on Twitter telling fans she was proud to have become a Muslim. Sinead, 51, will now be known as Shuhada' Davitt - with shuhada meaning 'martyrs' or 'witnesses' in Arabic. In a post to fans she wrote: "This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. She also shocked the Church, which does not allow women priests, when she was ordained by an independent bishop. Earlier this week, Sinead revealed that she was working on new material with collaborators including Ronnie Wood and Imelda May.
