Next Tuesday, the world will say its final goodbye to Sinéad O’Connor. The Irish Grammy-winning singer, who passed away aged 56 at her home in south-east London last month, will be laid to rest in Wicklow with a funeral procession.
The cortege will travel along the seafront in Bray, starting from the Harbour Bar and ending at the other end of the Strand Road. It will pass by her former home on the Strand Road, Montebello, where she lived for 15 years and where people have been leaving flowers in her honor.
The family has encouraged people to line Bray’s seafront from 10.30am next Tuesday to pay their last respects. A statement released on behalf of the family said: “Sinead loved living in Bray and the people in it. With this procession, her family would like to acknowledge the outpouring of love for her from the people of Co Wicklow and beyond, since she left last week to go to another place.”
The singer rose to fame in the 90s with her version of Prince’s hit song, Nothing Compares 2 U. She was also known for being a fierce activist, taking stances on social and political issues such as the child abuse scandal in the Catholic Church. Her music management company, 67 Management, revealed she had been working on new music and had been considering opportunities around a movie of her book before her death.
The passing of Sinéad O’Connor has sparked a host of tributes from fans and famous artists from across the world, including Russell Crowe, Annie Lennox, Cyndi Lauper and Bob Geldof. Several gatherings have also been held in Dublin, Belfast and London, where members of the public paid tribute to her legacy as a musician and activist.
