56 is far too young an age to go.

Sinéad O’Connor, acclaimed Dublin singer, dies aged 56

https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/music/2023/07/26/sinead-oconnor-acclaimed-dublin-singer-dies-aged-56/

Very shocking news. Sinéad O’Connor has sadly passed away. It was only in the last week that on radio, I can't remember the programme but they were playing Prince singing Nothing Compares 2 U and they were saying it wasn't often Prince was bested, but he really was by Sinead. She put her own signature on it and made it hers. I remember when this song released, I was only a young child and it was a huge deal. This was one of my favourite songs of hers from In the Name of the Father.

You Made Me the Thief of Your Heart

RIP Sinead, great talent.

SNL really should have had her on after all the scandals came out , her career was ruined for telling the truth and that scumbag Joe pesci threatening her a few weeks later on the same show.

I hope she is at peace now. She was so wronged by people. Condolences to those who will miss her.

Hopefully she's at peace now. She was clearly one of our greats.

What an utterly incredible talent, and a human tour de force, someone who has earned their rest a thousand times over.

I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got is one of the great albums. RIP.

One of the voices of my late teens and early 20's. This version of the song grew on me over the years. Her little smile and wave at the end said it all.

So sorry to see her go.

RIP.

One of the finest voices I’ve ever had the privilege of hearing.

PGE1970

The best Irish voice that I have ever heard live.

Her version of "She moves through the fair" brings this hardy 53 year old bloke to tears.

RIP.

RIP.

One the finest voices I’ve ever had the privilege of hearing.

Just heard this, it really sucks.

Nothing Compares 2 U is probably my favourite single by an Irish artist of all time.

She bore many mental health issues over recent years and then the death of her son really had a devastating affect on her.

A truly wonderful person and dealt a bad hand in life on too many occasions.

I see sheep

Oh no :(

Oscar_Madison

WOW. Just WOW.

Im very sad hearing this.

RIP Sinead

She seem to take her son's death very badly. Hardly in the public eye since.

RIP Sinead

This story has just been reported on the Six-One news on RTÉ.

My god what a heartbreaking story. May she rest in peace.

Poor Sinead.

Very sad news.

nullzero

She is intertwined into the memories of the era of great change in this country for so many of us.

However, she always seemed to be a deeply troubled person and away from her success she had a lot of personal troubles to deal with.

BlueEyeGleams

This will resound around she’ll be the most famous Irish woman in music by far. no 2nd most ~ RIP

Hope she has found peace now l. Was never going to happen in this life

Terrible news.

Drumpot

Genuinely shocked to hear this.

Rest in peace Sinead.

Frank Bullitt

Well that’s dreadfully sad news. Such a huge part of my younger years in Ireland hearing and seeing her on the TV.

Rest in Peace.

Rip. Very sad

Agent Coulson

So sad may she finally be at peace now.

rovers_runner

Ah Jesus, you often felt it was coming but hoped it never would.

I fear people will only being to realise how good she was now, take Your Green Jacket for example, a masterpiece decades after some of her great early work.

She was years and years ahead of her time and maybe too spiritual and wise for most of this island to appreciate.

God be good to her.

Sincere condolences to family and friends.

Had a pint with her a few times in Goggins pub Monkstown, greatest female singer I ever heard, and those eyes wow those eyes beautiful.

Very sad news. I know from her few appearances in the media after the tragic death of her son Shane that she was broken. Rest in peace

Oscar_Madison

Loved this whole album - purchased it early 90s - The Chieftans with a whole lot of great artists including Rolling Stones and of course, Sinead

Very shocked and saddened to hear this very sad news. 😢

An incredibly gifted and beautiful music artist, Sinead was truly unique but she had many demons to contend with in her life. A tortured soul. Hopefully she is at peace now.

Rest In Peace Sinead. 🕊

Rest in Peace.

Such sad news, we were so lucky to have had such a talent among us. Amazing voice, songwriter and such an ability to interpret a song and make it her own. RIP

I feared for her when I heard nothing from her since the death of her son. Rest in Peace.

RIP

As famous as she is in this country, I always felt that she was very underrated as an artist. A lot of people seem to write her off as a one hit wonder but she was much more than that.

El Gato De Negocios

Awfully sad news. I've loved this song since I first heard it in The Royle Family when nana died. As rare and as raw a talent as you could get.

If there's anyone who I'd ever want to hug and cry with it would be her. May she RIP. A remarkable woman in my eyes. May she RIP.

I was going post that song. I love that version.

griffin100

That’s made me very sad.

I remember how good the Lion and the Cobra was as a teenager.

I got to see her live in Vicar Street a few years ago and Jesus she was amazing.

A troubled soul who I hope is now at peace.

NIMAN

Genuinely shocked by this news.

Rip

She hadn’t a fake bone in her body, you always knew with SOC that she wasn’t going through the motions, frighteningly real artist

She had an incredible smile too when it appeared. I’m so sad to hear this. She was so talented.
