[Keykaty]

Aged 56, predeceased by her 17yr old son Shane.

Nothing compares to you. Rest in peace.

A tortured soul

RIP Sinead,

So sad. I saw her in London many moons ago. They were filming a music video on a street behind an office building. I was absolutely mesmerised. The crew were all buzzing around doing their thing and she was standing very serenely in the centre of it all waiting for the next take.

RIP Sinead.

Black boys on mopeds. Still one of my favourites. RIP Sinead.

Beautiful tortured soul. Amazing talent.
May you rest in peace now.

Oh that is sad.

I loved loved her first album when I was a teen.

RIP Sinead. You left a beautiful legacy for the world. X

She had one of the purest most beautiful voices I've ever heard. She was a genius. What a dreadful loss

Am genuinely so sad.
She could not live through that grief, I could not either.

Such sad news. I'd been hoping she'd play live again but thought it unlikely anytime soon after her loss. This is just so sad.

I came to her music by mistake after a cd mix up at the library 20 odd years back. What a wonderful mistake - whoever put Sinead's best of in that box instead of whatever I'd intended to borrow did me such a good turn.

As PPs have said, the You're Wrong About podcast and the audio book of her memoir are brilliant, she reads it so well. Such a brave woman and so badly treated by so many. What a loss.

I’m shocked.
I didn’t know about the loss of her son, either.
If there is any form of Spiritual life, hopefully they will be reunited.

A beautiful voice.
Rest in peace, Sinead🙏

That's terribly sad, poor Sinead, hope she's at peace now.

Gosh I was just listening to Eurythmics and thought who else has a voice as amazing as Annie Lennox and could only think of Sinead O’Connor. RIP Sinead.

Loved her, RIP. Despite her MH struggles, she was actually right about so many things yet pilloried for speaking out.

My late father sung the poignant Scarlet Ribbons to me at night too when I was very small.
I am singing it softly now and remembering Dad and me with great love.

Nothing compares to you was number 1 and the first dance my husband and I danced to. Been married over 30 years!

That documentary will be on sky documentaries at 9 on the 29th.

She had so much tragedy in her life. Poor woman. She was so very talented . What a tragic loss .

Sad. 56 is young.

Sad news , she was an icon , RIP Sinead x

Oh, no. This is so very sad.

Sinead was one of a kind. I feel devastated by her death.

Met her a couple of times, she was a tour de force, and saw her hop up on stage at a gig in Dun Laoghaire. She was marvellous.

I loved her mad and relentless way of existing, we just loved you Sinead.

Rest in peace with Shane ❤️

Rip Sinead 💕 for the music

Haunted.

Gorgeous song.

A talented, principled and brave woman. She stood up for what she believed in. That voice, those eyes. Ah Sinéad, I’m so sorry. RIP

I've been trying to think about why her death has affected me so much more than the deaths of other celebrities I admired.

I think it's because with others (Bowie, George Michael, Amy etc) I've been sad at the loss of an immense talent. But with Sinead, it's sadness at the thought of the traumatic life she's had and that it's now ended before she could (possibly) find happiness. It feels more personal and relatable.

RIP Sinead. Find peace with your boy.
