I thought she was dead already, but turns out it was her son that died.

Man, she seemed to be in a very difficult spot.

I was the same. My wife told me this morning that she'd died and I tried telling her it happened a year or two ago

Her young son Shane killer himself last year. That’s probably where the confusion comes from.


Our entire nation is grieving tonight. Wall to wall Sinéad on all the radio stations.
She lit the match that started the exposure and take down of the church. And they all tried to destroy her for it. But she was right. She was right about it all.



‘She's probably still most famous for ripping up the picture of John Paul II. Has that defined her career? "Yes, in a beautiful fucking way. There was no doubt about who this bitch is. There was no more mistaking this woman for a pop star. But it was not derailing; people say, 'Oh, you fucked up your career' but they're talking about the career they had in mind for me. I fucked up the house in Antigua that the record company dudes wanted to buy. I fucked up their career, not mine. It meant I had to make my living playing live, and I am born for live performance."

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
