Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O'Connor has converted to Islam and changed her named to Shuhada', which means 'martyrs' in Arabic, according to reports. The rockstar took to Twitter on Thursday to announce the news and also shared a picture of her wearing a hijab, with the caption: "This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim."

The mother-of-four, who was ordained a priest by a fringe Catholic group in the 1990s, added: "This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian's journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant. I will be given (another) new name. It will be Shuhada."
