Yes she captured something of the struggle and mental suffering of life with that voice and that song that makes me feel very sad about her and yet maybe that is her greatest legacy
I was in Sweden in 1990, 'Nothing compares to you' was BIG. I think of that holiday and that song following me around the country. 56 is no life. Sleep well.
I hesitate to say Rest in Peace, because I'm sure Sinead will express herself powerfully beautifully and with no lack of anger at all the injustices, where ever her spirit roams. We have lost an amazing songwriter and vocalist.
Sinéad's voice was mesmeric. Why are some talented singers such troubled souls. Sinéad O'Connor, George Michael and Amy Winehouse had voices that came from the musical Gods and performed with such intensity and all 3 died from broken Hearts.

RIP Sinéad O'Connor.
Sadly, history has proven that is the nature of the beast for so many musical artists - the likes of Billie Holiday, Janis Joplin, Kurt Cobain, Keith Moon, Elvis, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Karen Carpenter, Jim Morrison and many more died as a result not being able to live with everything connected with their fame and success. There are others who have done incredibly well to still be with us with probably Keith Richards, 80 this year, right up there in that respect.
The poor woman lost her son, I cannot begin to imagine the pain she has been living with for the last year. Amazing voice, like generational. I hope she has found peace
Interesting comments from Morrissey on the subject - and I think he makes some valid points and observations. Particularly the bit about "15 minute celebrities and goblins from hell and record labels of artificially aroused diversity are squeezing onto Twitter to twitter their jibber-jabber".
Difficult to know what to say for the best after reading that. I wasn't a fan personally, but it all just seems so sad. From the outside a tortured soul indeed.

RIP Sinead
RIP Sinead.
Upset a lot of people but was pretty fearless. Beset by demons.
Sleep easy now Sinead 💚
The recent documentary by Kathryn Ferguson is well worth a watch.
