The entertainment business was shocked to learn of Sinéad O’Connor’s tragic death on July 26.
The Irish Times received a statement from her family saying, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.”. “Her family and friends are inconsolable and have asked for privacy during this extremely trying time. “.
O’Connor’s music won praise from critics and gained her international recognition, but she also struggled with mental illness and became involved in several scandals as a result of her outspoken political and social beliefs.
When she was only 20 years old, in 1987, her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra, was released. O’Connor received a Grammy nomination for the album, which was a big hit all over the world.
Slant Magazine called it “one of the most electrifying debuts in rock history” and Pitchfork praised the album’s “themes of patriotism, sexuality, Catholicism, and social oppression set the stage for a career marked by a resolute sense of independence.” Both publications listed it as one of the best albums of the 1980s. “.
With her cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U,” her most well-known and highest-charting song, O’Connor’s second album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, was her biggest commercial success. The Billboard Music Awards named it the “1 World Single” of 1990, and it frequently appears on lists of the greatest songs ever written.
The singer was found “unresponsive” at her London home on Wednesday, and after they were called, she was pronounced dead there. The official cause of death cannot be determined until the autopsy is finished, which could take “several weeks.”.
Though her death is not being investigated as “suspicious,” authorities have stated that it is. “.
The London Inner South Coroner’s Court reportedly stated that they will decide whether to hold an inquest if autopsy results are available and applications from O’Connor’s relatives are received, according to the Daily Mirror, shortly after the untimely death of O’Connor was made public.
O’Connor’s remains were recently returned to her family, who are obviously still grieving her tragic loss now that the autopsy is over.
O’Connor caused controversy shortly before she passed away by tweeting about her son, who committed suicide in January 2022 after going missing in Ireland.
After her son passed away, the well-known singer turned to social media to express her sorrow and suffering. She stressed how closely they were connected, saying she felt “lost” and lived like an “undead night creature” without him.
O’Connor described her child on Twitter as “the love of my life, the lamp of my soul,” adding, “I’ve been living as an undead night creature ever since. “We had been one soul split into two. Only he actually showed that he cared about me. Without him, I am lost in the bardo. “.
