RIP: Sinead O'Conner, 56
Wow. 56. No cause listed, but as the pretty extensive Rolling Stone obit notes, her 17 y/o son took his own life 18 months ago, definitely a significant event.
Sinead had been recording and making songs for a very long time, and fighting to be her own person from a young age. She didn't break out until she covered the Prince song, Nothing Compares (To You). She made international headlines by tearing a photo of the Pope in half on Saturday Night Live, which seriously hurt her career for quite a number of years. Very controversial woman.
Quite sad, I feel she had a lot of good music left to give us.
