She upheld the Irish Conservative Armed force, until she didn't. She got appointed as a Catholic cleric by a rebel group. She changed over completely to Islam. She went from chastity to oversharing about her preferences for sex. She changed her name a few times, calling herself Shuhada' Sadaqat after her transformation, however she kept on delivering music under her original name.

"I think individuals lost regard for her validity," says Bill Wyman. "What's more, her later records simply aren't as much tomfoolery. They're ineffectively delivered, and they're odd. They're only not as charming."
