I just read the news that the incredible Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor was found dead, after struggling with a lifetime of mental illness possibly caused by childhood abuse. She was only 56 years old. In her honor, I offer you something that I wrote about her about a decade ago and I just published on Substack.

I saw Sinead perform with Damian Dempsey some years ago. It was truly one of the most beautiful and haunting performances I've ever seen. A unique and brave woman who unbelievable adversity.

Haunted with Shane McGowan from the Sid and Nancy soundtrack is one of my favourite songs, so evocative!
