Most people who paid attention to her would probably agree that Sinead O’Connor, who died recently, led a very sad life.

She claimed - and her brother confirmed - that their home was a very difficult one in which to grow up with a mother who apparently was an absolute lunatic.

She had multiple mental health issues throughout her life including at least one attempt at suicide and her son, Shane did take his own life in 2022, which devastated her. This came at the end of the Covid pandemic, which forced her into isolation and must also have been quite awful for someone who craved, but couldn’t seem to find, human connections.
