Sinéad O’Connor DEAD

[RaspberrySwirl]

Shocking

 

[RJN]

So sad She really did live a troubled life

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

So so sad.

 

[COB]

Oh no

 

[Pipo]

Was she ill? I didn't realize she was 56. Rest in peace xx.

 

[jivafox]

Omg

 

[RJN]

Truly one of the most iconic moments of all time:

 

[Pipo]

Random fact but Nothing Compares 2 U was actually written by Prince.

 

[rhythmbandit]

 

[GinAg (39)]

Omg

 

[Kratz]

Wow. I think she lost her son a few years back.

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

Wow. I think she lost her son a few years.

That was such a sad situation.

She seemed so troubled and somehow it feels like it shouldn't be as shocking, yet it is. What a talent.

 

[jivafox]

I hope she’s found peace at last.

 

[GinAg (39)]

Her Chiquitita was LOVELY

 

[GinAg (39)]

Mandinka also a BANGER

 

[Rowan Tree 🌳]

I love No Man's Woman.

 

[big ron]

 

[BoysForSeles]

Oh no. So sad. Such a talented troubled person.

 

[VoR]

Oh God. To be honest, as grim as it sounds, I've been half-expecting this ever since her son died. What a tragic, tragic chain of events.

So many of her songs have such a special meaning to me. Here are a few faves

 

[GinAg (39)]

BBC not touching this yet.

BRING BACK HUW AND GEORGE

 

[ManicKangaroo]

Wow. I think she lost her son a few years back.

Only 18 months ago

 

[GinAg (39)]

I hope she passed from a paper cut from tearing up bibles. It's what she would have wanted.

 

[Ellie]

 

[Saltwater]

So so sad, may she rest in peace

 

[disneyteletubby]

Sad to hear this she was troubled, and possibly more so since her son died, but a fascinating person to listen to.
Enya kind of collaborated on this (spoken)

"never get old" and RIP Sinéad O'Connor.

 

[BoysForSeles]

Universal Mother was one of the best singer songwriter albums of the era.

 

[lolly]

Oh shit

 

[Suedehead]

 

[lolly]

Oh God. To be honest, as grim as it sounds, I've been half-expecting this ever since her son died. What a tragic, tragic chain of events.

Yes, a lot of hers resonate deeply with me as well.

 

[Jark]

oh god, oh dear. this is terribly sad.

 

[auretz]

only just listened to the You’re Wrong About episode about her last week.

Always had a real love for “Jealous” aside from the obvious ones

 

[passthatdutch]

This is so sad, particularly after her son's death last year.

Outside of the obvious hits, Drink Before The War is my favourite song of hers. Discovered it watching HBO's Euphoria and it is just gorgeous.

 

[lolly]

Am I Not Your Girl? is probably the best album of covers (certainly of its era) that I remember as well. If you can listen to her Scarlet Ribbons without crying, you're dead inside.

 

[GNL]

Sad She was a wonderful talent, compassionate, and unafraid to stand up for those without a voice.

 

[lolly]

Am I Not Your Girl? is probably the best album of covers (certainly of its era) that I remember as well. If you can listen to her Scarlet Ribbons without crying, you're dead inside.

And then there's her version of Scorn Not His Simplicity, but then that song is as emotionally devastating in the original and any version I've ever heard.

 

[VoR]

This one too

 

[GinAg (39)]

She died this afternoon in Brixton apparently. A friend of a friend works for the Met and heard the call go out.

 

[VoR]

 

[lolly]

Shit, this is a hard one to take

 

[BoysForSeles]

Shit, this is a hard one to take

Isn’t it? I properly jolted when I saw the thread title. I feel like I need to play her music but not sure I could get through it right now.
