The Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor has died, and the police have said something about it.
In a statement given to BBC News on Wednesday, O’Connor’s family said that she had passed away. The singer from Dublin died on Wednesday at the age of 56. He was found “unresponsive” at a home in the Lambeth neighbourhood of London.
O’Connor “was pronounced dead at the scene,” according to a police statement obtained by The Irish Sun, and her “death is not being treated as suspicious.”
Shane, her 17-year-old son, killed himself a year before she did.
Throughout her life, O’Connor was known for being politically active and being honest about her own life. She also had a number of well-received records and covered Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U” in 1990.
The “Jackie” singer has been remembered by Conor McGregor and Russell Crowe.
In his long tribute, Crowe told a story about meeting O’Connor outside of an Irish pub in 2022.
For those of us who don’t have her resolve, O’Connor’s stands could seem brave. She stood up for herself and for other people who were weak, too. In 1991, she didn’t go to the Grammy Awards, in part because the awards for rap music weren’t shown on TV. She spoke up for Muslims and LGBTQ+ people and gave clothes and makeup to a charity for trans youth so that young trans women could “enjoy being female.”
But the music business and most of the media world are run by middle-aged men, so O’Connor fought a lot of fights she was going to lose, but that didn’t stop her from fighting. This conflict, along with what she said was abuse from her mother when she was a child, seemed to wear her down over time. She wasn’t less fierce, but she wasn’t as noticeable or as busy as she used to be. When I talked to her, she was about halfway through a break from music that lasted almost five years.
