Like a bird without a song

RIP, Sinéad O'Connor (8th December 1966 – 26th July 2023).

Just 56 years of age. I am genuinely in shock.

  1. I only just now heard. I too was shocked. What an unusual voice styling she had. I guess now one more. Will it be Madonna?

    Ohhhh bite my tongue!!!!!!

    1. Don't tempt fate...

      Ms O'Connor's voice was utterly remarkable. Jah Wobble was interviewed on the BBC last night, and recalled an occasion when she actually broke the membrane on a studio microphone with the power of a single note! Jx

  2. So much hardship in her life. And so much talent.

    1. Hers was an unenviable life - yet some of the people paying tribute to her recalled what a sense of humour and mischief she had, despite everything. What a loss she is. Jx

  4. I remember when she went on the Graham Norton show and used it to phone her nephew up to and wish him luck in the all-Ireland Young Scientist competition.

  5. Sinead bel oiseau chanteur, Sinead une telle tragédie.
    Le gens l'ont fustigée pour avoir dénoncé les crimes de l'eglise catholique
    et les abus sexuels contre les enfants et les mères célibataires en Irlande.
    Elle a dit la vérité en paroles et en chansons.

    1. She may have been many things, but she always seemed sincere in her battles against injustice. Jx

  6. Had she done nothing more than Lion And Cobra... I would still think she's awesome. As is? Her legacy is a sad one... mental illness and drug dependency strung out and paraded about for the masses.
