Sinead O'Connor has called for a boycott of Rolling Stone magazine after their latest issue featured reality TV star Kim Kardashian on the cover.

In an outburst on her , the singer declared "music has officially died".

“What is this **** doing on the cover of Rolling Stone? Music has officially died,” she wrote.

“Who knew it would be Rolling Stone that murdered it? Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh can no longer be expected to take all the blame. Bob Dylan must be *** horrified. #BoycottRollingStone”.

Comments on the post were mainly supportive of her point of view with many supporters calling for the boycott of the magazine.

Not one to shy away from controversy, Sinead O'Connor made the headlines back in 2013 after writing an open letter to Miley Cyrus urging her to set "a healthier message to her peers."
