The Irish rockstar, who was originally catholic, took to Twitter to share a photo of herself in hijab and tweeted “This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim.”
“This is the natural conclusion of any intelligent theologian’s journey. All scripture study leads to Islam. Which makes all other scriptures redundant,” said the 51-year-old who previously struggled with her mental health.
This is to announce that I am proud to have become a Muslim. 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’

My best friend, Elaine just gave me my 1st Hijab and she got chills all over her body when I put it on. Not gonna post a photo because is intensely personal. And I’m an ugly old hag. But I’m a very, very, very happy old hag.

She also shared a video of her singing the Muslim call to prayer, Azan, but apologises for getting the words wrong. But she promised to practice more and will post a better version of the one she posted.
