egg Posted 26 July, 2023 Share Posted 26 July, 2023 Very, very sad. The poor lady was very ill, and had to deal with her son's suicide recently. A true talent taken far too soon. RIP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whelk Posted 26 July, 2023 Share Posted 26 July, 2023 (edited) I loved Sinead. Fascinating person with a truly beautiful voice. just recently been listening to her audio book Rememberings. Very troubled upbringing but unbelievable talent. Terribly sad news and made me quite tearful Edited 26 July, 2023 by whelk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warriorsaint Posted 27 July, 2023 Share Posted 27 July, 2023 I came to this thread with trepidation thinking about how someone would throw their twopenath in about Sinead. I’m so glad it hasn’t panned out this way. I absolutely adored her and for my generation was agog at the strength and vulnerability wrapped up in her ethereal beauty. I am a confirmed atheist and it was only her made me question that belief. I don’t think their has ever been such a flawed, complicated and unbowed artist in my generation. I can barely watch some of her performances as they break my heart. A fighter for the voiceless abused in Ireland and one for whom the demons came and eventually took. I rarely feel emotion for the passing of pandering celebrities but this lady deserves her peace. Rest easy Sinead 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What has Katy Perry or Taylor Swift got to do with anything? There are plenty of male performers from that era (or this era) you could name but nah, let's pick on some women. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Ill add Harry Styles and Niall Horan. My point is that she was a voice. You’ve misinterpreted my point. Todays artists are not called, but merely byproducts of the record companies. I made no judgement in these artists other to contrast artistry for manufactured pop and fronts for the record company. You have inferred what you wanted to from the sentence not the intended sentiment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadoldgit Posted 27 July, 2023 Share Posted 27 July, 2023 Even Morrissey managed to put some words together that didn’t want to make me smack him in the mouth for a change. It is not often I agree with him but his tribute to her was spot on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sinead was a poet and saw through the pop industrial complex and was vilified for it. A one off and Im truly sad about it. She had integrity. She was not a popstar. Never was. She sang protest for a generation. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
