The entertainment industry was shocked to learn of Sinéad O’Connor’s tragic death on July 26.
In a statement to The Irish Times, her family said, “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad.”. “Her family and friends have expressed their devastation and asked for privacy during this extremely trying time. “.
O’Connor’s music won praise from critics and was well-known throughout the world, but she also struggled with mental illness and got herself into trouble because of her outspoken political and social beliefs.
When she was just 20 years old, in 1987, her debut album, The Lion and the Cobra, was released. O’Connor received a Grammy nomination as a result of the album’s widespread success.
One of the most electrifying debuts in rock history, according to Slant Magazine, and one of the best albums of the 1980s, according to Pitchfork, whose praise for the album’s “themes of patriotism, sexuality, Catholicism, and social oppression set the stage for a career marked by a resolute sense of independence.”. “.
The second album O’Connor released, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, featured her most well-known and successful song, “Nothing Compares 2 U,” which she covered from Prince. It frequently appears on lists of the greatest songs ever written and was named the “1 World Single” of 1990 by the Billboard Music Awards.
The singer was found “unresponsive” at her London home on Wednesday; after they were called, she was pronounced dead at the scene. The official cause of death cannot yet be determined because the autopsy is still being conducted, and the results could not be ready for “several weeks.”.
However, according to authorities, her death is not being investigated as “suspicious.”. “.
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.
The autopsy has been completed, but O’Connor’s family has just received her remains, and it is evident that they are still grieving her tragic death.
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.
The well-known singer took to social media to express her sorrow and agony after her son passed away. She stressed their close bond by saying she felt “lost” and lived as 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 were two halves of the same soul. Only he actually showed that he cared about me. Without him, I’m stranded in the bardo. “.
