Quote:

The singer was always outspoken on political matters, from Irish unification to sexual abuse in the Catholic church. During a 1992 performance on "Saturday Night Live," O'Connor ripped up a photo of the pope on live television in protest.

My wife just told me about that a few minutes ago. Apparently her 17 year old son committed suicide last year and it certainly sounds like what happened here.

She had a history of suicidal tendencies IIRC. Was pretty open about it. Not sure if the case here, but would track if so.

I feel that having a No. 1 record derailed my career," O'Connor wrote in her memoir, according to the New York Times, "and my tearing the photo put me back on the right track."
Quote:

Police said the missing person case was closed after a body was found in the eastern coastal town of Bray, about 12 miles south of Dublin.

"The very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God," O'Connor wrote on Twitter at the time. "May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby, I love you so much. Please be at peace."

The leftist is driven by something other than facts and can’t be cured.

Pretty certain it was suicide given the way the articles are written.

Sadly, she had a lot of mental issues for a very long time. The only real shock is this didn't happen a long time ago.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Suicide runs in families - I've seen it first hand when my brother became a stepfather. Birth father committed suicide and the child always thought he would too. He died his senior year in HS by shooting himself in my brother's house. My brother didn't have guns in his house, but it doesn't stop someone from getting one. My brother and SIL did all they could to prevent this.

I love her music, even if we differed on some policies/politics. I hate that some of the best artists are tortured souls.

The tragedy of increased suicide from younger people can only stop when we teach our children about God's purpose for our lives and the loving gift he shared with us through his son Jesus Christ.

Children today are told the world is about to end unless they change it themselves. An impossible task. It is no wonder so many give up.

We live in a fallen world and we need to celebrate all the little blessings we can give one another. Children need to know that showing love to your neighbor and loving God is a purpose worth living for and if you embrace that life, you can change the world one soul at a time.


Edit to add: I have dealt with genetic mental illness in a close loved one. (I pray it does no manifest in the persons children). It is difficult and maybe in some situations the illness is too much but in my case, Faith helped during the initial mental break, though the person in question has since given in to all the temptations that their illness amplifies.

I'm honestly surprised she made it this long.

Whenever I think about Sinead O'Connor, I can't get this old SNL sketch out of my head.
Good grief they were funny back then.

Beautiful lady with a beautiful voice back in the day. And I admire her anti-authoritarian nature.

But she was a very mentally troubled individual and I wouldn't wish her mental anguish/illness on anyone.

Prince may have written her big hit, but she performed it to perfection.

"Let's start with the chick. What gives, cue ball? I'm looking at you, I'm thinking: fourteen in the side pocket!"

RIP Phil Hartman…and you too Sinead.

She would have been a lot better looking with hair or a wig.

i liked her first album

back then was not a fan of her politics, and even less now

she would have been pretty with hair, and certainly had a good voice

sad the way her life ended

hopefully she sees the lord in some way that works now

I dunno about all of her decisions but I have read she was quite abused as a kid by her mother. That really sucks. Pray for her soul and her family. Like most hollywood stars I think she made a lot of bad relationship decisions later on, too.

This doesn't need to be a situation to tap dance on catholics about her struggles/frustration with the RCC, imho. She had a great voice, to be sure.

Oughta see Chris Cornell do it, not to detract from the thread.

Chris Cornell's Nothing Compares is also beautiful and haunting. He also took his own life.
Was about to post this. 100% agree. Best cover of Prince's song by far!
