Imelda May pays emotional tribute to ‘brave' Sinead O'Connor ahead of anniversary
The two singers were long-time friends up until Sinead's passing in July 2023. The Dublin woman passed away at the age of 56 of natural causes on July 26, 2023 at her home in south London. May was a long-time friend of the Nothing Compares 2 U singer and has opened up previously about the grief surrounding her tragic passing. Speaking on Ireland AM, the Dubliner got emotional as she addressed Sinead's passing just shy of her second anniversary. Sinéad O'Connor. Photo: Getty "Sinead was absolutely brilliant, she spoke the truth and she was brave as anyone I ever knew, she was one of the bravest women,' she said. "She took the grief that she got all the time and she was just full of love all the time and I really miss her, I'll miss her forever." The Mayhem singer noted that she often spoke with Sinead on the phone and added: "I miss our chats, I loved it, she was funny as hell and a lot of people don't realise that. "So for Sinead let's all try do what we can because she always spoke the truth. "Yeah and I want to send big love to all her family.' News in 90 Seconds - July 24th The Grammy award-winning Irish singer was propelled to international stardom in 1990 with her version of a then-little-known Prince track Nothing Compares 2 U. While she was acclaimed for her musical talent, over the years she became well-known for being outspoken about her social and political views. She sparked controversy and made headlines in 1992 when she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on US TV show Saturday Night Live. Thousands of mourners attended the much-loved singer's funeral in Bray two years ago and she was subsequently laid to rest in Deansgrange Cemetery. Earlier this month, her dad Sean revealed that he still visits Sinead's grave every week as he comes to terms with her death. "When Sinead passed, I cried my eyes out for a fortnight. I still miss her," Sean O'Connor told Oliver Callan on RTÉ Radio 1. "Of course it's a comfort (the outpouring of grief by the public), but Sinead had two personas. Read more "One was in the public arena and the other was with her family and I saw her funeral as being lovely for her fans. "At a personal level, I've never had publicity in respect of Sinead and it made it all the more hurtful for all of us when she died. "I visit her grave every week... and we have a conversation and I bring her up to date." The Dublin-born artist died from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. The 56-year-old star had also been suffering from a respiratory tract infection, culminating in her death in London a year ago last week. Her death came 18 months after the death by suicide of her 17-year-old son Shane, who she had with musician Dónal Lunny. She had three other children, Jake, Roisin and Yeshua.
