After music, it's religion

DUBLIN: The music business's loss is religion's gain. Irish singer Sinead O'Connor said on Thursday that she plans to teach religion after quitting the music business in July. In a letter published in Dublin's Evening Herald newspaper, O'Connor (36), who announced her retirement on her website last month, denied rumours that she was quitting because she was suffering from the disabling illness myalgic encephalomyelitis, or ME. "I am retiring because I want to train to become a religion teacher of primary school children. This will take some years as I also want to raise my own children, so it may be over 10 years 'til I qualify but I intend to make a start," she said.
