The music world was left in shock and grief as news of the death of singer Sinead O’Connor spread on Wednesday.
Police have released a statement on the death of singer Sinead O’Connor after her family confirmed her death on Wednesday.
One of the most famous songs of the singer’s long and successful career was her 1990 cover of Prince’s “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinead,” the 56-year-old’s family said in a statement after learning the terrible news of her death.
Her family and friends are heartbroken and are asking for privacy at this extremely difficult time.
Responding to the tragic news, police released a statement saying they were called at 11.18 am on Wednesday 26 July to reports of an unconscious woman at a residential property in the SE24 district.
“Officers were present, the 56-year-old woman was pronounced dead at the scene.
“Relatives have been informed. The cause of death is not being investigated further. The coroner will obtain a file in due course.”
O’Connor’s son Shane tied the knot last year aged 17, leaving her with three children: Jake, Roisin, and Yeshua.
Just 18 months before O’Connor’s death, he tragically committed suicide after leaving the hospital where he was under suicide watch.
Just days before she died, she mourned her son’s death on Twitter and shared a photo of the two of them when they were younger.
“#lostmy17yrOldSonToSuicidein2022,” O’Connor tweeted to her followers. He has existed as an undead nocturnal beast ever since. He was my true love and the light of my soul. We were two parts of one soul.
“He was the first person I’ve ever known to love me unconditionally. Without him, I’m lost in the bard.”
O’Connor also vowed not to perform again after her son’s murder, telling fans: “Just saying, the notion that there will be any performances this year, next year or ever, is false. There will be no more singing.” O?
O’Connor released 10 studio albums during her career, and her cover version of “Nothing Compares 2 U” was a worldwide hit in 1990.
The cause of O’Connor’s death has not yet been released.
