Sinead O'Conner died today by suicide. She was 56.
O'Connor's career never recovered from ripping a picture of the Pope up on SNL in 1992. What is ironic, is she was vindicated decades later after sex scandals nearly destroyed the Church in America and Europe. O'Connor battled mental health problems for most of her life. She lost the will to live, after her son committed suicide in early 2022. She had repeatedly stated that she had no reason to live, and wanted to join him.
RIP.
