Sinéad O'Connor, the iconic Irish singer, passed away yesterday at the age of 56. Her family confirmed the news, and tributes poured in from around the world. Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said: ‘Her music was loved around the world and her talent was unmatched and beyond compare.’
Throughout her career, Sinéad O'Connor spoke openly about her religious journey, activism and mental health struggles, and she was an advocate for mental health awareness. With her hit song Nothing Compares 2 U, she was propelled to fame in 1990. Last year, she took a break from performing due to grief over her son Shane's death.
In her final video post, Sinéad O'Connor talked about her son and her plans for writing new music. She said: ‘I look like s**t either way, which is why I didn't want to make a video. But youknow the way, your kid unfortunately passing away, it isn't good for one's body or soul. But look, let's not dwell on that.’ She showed her followers her new Johnny Cash guitar and said she was planning to write some tunes. She then signed off, saying: ‘I hope you're all happy now.’
Sinéad O'Connor's last post was a photo of her son, with a heartfelt message. She wrote: ‘Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him.’
