Oh no. She was beautiful and that voice. Peace Sinead.

In a time when the word has lost all meaning, worth noting that Sinéad was well and truly cancelled for speaking the truth.

She was so talented, yet so troubled. I always admired her.
I guess she couldn't deal with the suicide of her son 1,5 years ago.

Here is her version of the famous song "Molly Malone". It's so haunting and beautiful: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ouqhCtIh2g

Wow. Still so young. She’s not someone I’ve thought of for a long time but I remember her very well too ?.

beautiful voice ??.

This is one area where you and I agree strongly. I remember that incident so well. I sat through lectures about it in Catholic school and around the dinner table, silently thinking to myself what a hero she was. Even at 12, I knew she was right.

What a difficult and sad life she has had. I wish her and her family peace. RIP Sinead.

I wasn't a huge fan of her music, but I always absolutely respected her because of this moment. What a brave person. Rest in peace.

This is one of my favorite songs of hers, the instrumentation is great. RIP Sinead

She was a bad a$$ in the very best way---RIP to a brave soul and a beautiful voice.

RIP Sinead O'Connor, one of my feminist hero(ines) of our generation. You went too soon. Your music is and will be.

How the news broke on Irish TV

Feels like the whole country is in shock and mourning.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Transcendent, unforgettable and so, so brave. I do hope her spirit finds peace.

 

[overedge]

Heartbroken. I don't think I would have gotten through my first year away at university without blasting the cassette of "The Lion and The Cobra" that I got at the local Irish import shop. Rest in peace Sinead

 

[rfisher]

One of my favorites.

 

[allezfred]

She was always on the right side of history. Always.

Crushed. Absolutely crushed.

Personally, I would say she was abused rather than she was troubled. As for how and/or why she died, I would never be so brazen as to guess as to the ways in which the death of a person's child affected them.

That album was amazing. I first heard the lead single, "Troy" at the same time I saw the video. I was floored. Astonishingly brilliant.

I love that song. I think I wore out my cassette of that album in my Walkman. She was amazing and brave. RIP.

 

[Winnipeg]

I loved her music, am so sad she passed at such a young age. I loved Nothing Compares 2 U but also really liked the Emperor's New Clothes.

 

[Coco]

The only thing that mitigates this sadness is the knowledge that hopefully her spirit will now find some peace.

She changed the world.

Nothing has ever compared to the Last Day of our Acquaintance for me. You might say it walked so Jagged Little Pill could run, but I found it more powerful it it's own way.

So sad.

The Lion and the Cobra will forever be a favorite. An amazing singer.

RIP to Sinead.

This also reminds me of Delores O’riordan. RIP as well

 

[MINAM]

I'm surprised, not surprised and really really gutted.

I had forgotten Nothing Compares to You was originally a Prince song. That was her song though. That's a great cover - when someone forgets someone sang the song before you, especially another great artist.

May her memory be for a blessing.

I loved Sinead. Insofar as I've ever had a hero, she would be it.

She had one song that was basically a primal scream, and it went on for a while. I loved it.

RIP.

 

[allezfred]

Defiant, but with such humour. She really was one of a kind.
