www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-66318626Devastating. I was just reading an article earlier today about stars who were treated unfairly at the time and she was at the top, justifiably so. Abhorrent how she was treated for speaking against the Catholic church. Rest in peace. My thoughts are with her three surviving children.

A fearsome and singular talent, who has dealt with so much bullshit and tragedy in her life. Truly a massive blow to lose her.

RIP
This is my favorite performance of hers - one of the great female vocal performances ever - a lot of people haven't heard it I'm sure but it is an incredible vocal and utterly obliterates the Elton John original version.......at her best she seemed possessed in the best sort of artistic way.......

Rock n roll icon. truth-telling iconoclast. Many people have been determined to have the voice of an angel, but I grew up on Sinead O'Connor, she's the singer of my first favourite song, so, to me, hers is the one. On a movie-related note, Michael Collins would have been half the film it was without her involvement. On a life-related note, it seemed like hers was filled with more despairing downs than ups in the 30 years since she went to WAR, so peace to you, superstar.

This just makes me so very sad for many reasons. I know a little about her backstory even predating her stardom. And I've followed her troubles and tragedies in recent years. So much pain this woman endured.
She was a martyr in a sense. One of the most misunderstood music artists of all time - with one of the most heavenly voices ever.

Big RIP. I think I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got scraped the bottom of my 90's album ballot. Definitely a top 20 90's alternative album which means it's better than anything anyone's doing today. Just a really arresting voice too, even if she's doing filler or covers you've got to sit up and listen and it sounds good.
One of the few people post 70's to capture that punk rock feel where you never knew what she was going to do and she made a buzzcut look good. Sounds like she hadn't been doing well leading up to this.

Oh absolutely 100% one of the greatest vocal performances, period. I remember first being blown away that that song could be transformed into that. Impossible not to be touched by the sincerity and beauty here.
