How sad
56 is no age

She was always true to herself. (Dove)

Very sad. Released from her struggles
Her beautiful voice is her legacy

Awful news😥

MeinKraft · 26/07/2023 18:50

Sad but not entirely unexpected. She was very troubled.

Oh no, I hope she is at peace now 😔

GiddyGladys · 26/07/2023 18:52

I hope she's at peace too. She was a hugely talented woman but a troubled soul bless her.

endofthelinefinally · 26/07/2023 18:53

That is so sad. She had so much to cope with, it must have been so hard.

sunshineplayroom · 26/07/2023 18:53

Not altogether suprising. A tortured soul. RIP.

If anyone is interested there is a podcast called “You’re Wrong About”. They did an episode about Sinead probably two months ago (Sinead wasn’t on it just the host Sara Marshall and a guest).

It was very interesting, they talked all about her upbringing and rise to fame and how unfairly she was treated over the whole ripping up a photo of the Pope on SNL incident.

They played her new music, and I learned a lot about her I didn’t know. She was amazing but sadly, will probably be remembered for the wrong reasons.

JenniferBarkley · 26/07/2023 18:54

Oh no. How desperately sad. Thoughts with her family.

beeonmybonnett · 26/07/2023 18:55

Such shocking and sad news. God lover her. Always liked her. May she rest in peace. So hard to believe.

Cosmosforbreakfast · 26/07/2023 18:56

I hope she has finally found her peace poor soul.

ChinHairDontCare · 26/07/2023 18:58

Poor Sinead. Her autobiography is an amazing book and if you get the audio book she read it herself so it's very evocative. She had such a tough childhood and life and went through so much.

SageRosemary · 26/07/2023 18:59

Nothing compares 2 her. Rest in peace Sinead.

Rockbird · 26/07/2023 18:59

Very sad news. Troubled soul with a beautiful talent. God rest her soul.

Oceanus · 26/07/2023 19:01

She was such a lost soul. I hope she goes to a better place.

I hope she is at peace and no longer in pain.
