Chuck D<\/a> said on behalf of his group Public Enemy on the band\u2019s Instagram page: \u201cRest in beats and power #SineadOConnor who always brought the noise.\u201d<\/p>\nHe signed off his post with praying hands and white dove emojis.<\/p>\n
Janelle Mon\u00e1e tweeted about how Sinead\u2019s most famous act was tearing up a picture of the Pope and saying \u201cFight the real enemy\u201d on live TV.<\/p>\n
\nComic Rob Delaney \u2013 whose son Henry was killed by brain cancer aged two-and-a-half \u2013 referenced how Sin\u00e9ad\u2019s death came 18 months after the mum-of-four\u2019s son Shane, 17, took his life in January 2022 after escaping hospital while on suicide watch in his tribute.<\/p>\n
\nHe said on social media: \u201cMy son Henry listened to her and I think about him when I listen to her now. I was so sad when her son died. I love her she is my hero in art and honesty.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSinger ANOHNI said in an Instagram video: \u201cI can\u2019t think of an artist who\u2019s given more than Sin\u00e9ad and I can\u2019t think of an artist who\u2019s been punished more than Sin\u00e9ad, for telling the truth,\u201d ANOHNI said in a video she posted on her Instagram account. She then sang a rendition of O\u2019Connor\u2019s 1997 song \u201cI Am Enough for Myself.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nMassive Attack, who collaborated with Sin\u00e9ad on their album \u2018100th Window\u2019, said: \u201cDevastated. How do you eulogise someone that you never knew well, but were blessed to have the honour of working with.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cHonestly. To bear witness to her voice, intimately in the studio. On the road every single person stopped \u2013 dropped their tools during soundcheck. The fire in her eyes made you understand that her activism was a soulful reflex and not a political gesture.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTegan and Sara shared a video of Sin\u00e9ad performing in early 2020 \u2013 the final concert they saw before the Covid lockdown: \u201cOur mom used to blast \u2018Lion and the Cobra\u2019 in our minivan on the way to school.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cWe were 7 but screamed along to every word. Sinead fanned the flames of creativity in us from very young. Sad to see the news she’s gone. Sending love to wherever we go when we die.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nTori Amos hailed Sin\u00e9ad \u201ca force of nature\u201d and added she was \u201ca brilliant songwriter and performer whose talent we will not see the like of again.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe \u2018Cornflake Girl\u2019 singer added: \u201cSuch passion, such intense presence. A beautiful soul who battled her own personal demons courageously. Be at peace dear Sin\u00e9ad, you will forever be in our hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nTracey Thorn from Everything But The Girl tweeted: \u201cWhat a singer and what a brave brave woman,\u201d adding Sin\u00e9ad\u2019s death was \u201ca terrible loss.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nPeter Murphy of Bauhaus, Michael Stipe of R.E.M., Billy Corgan, Margo Price, Sky Ferreira, Empress Of, Garbage, Kelly Lee Owens, Ian Brown, Clipping, Cadence Weapon, Jason Isbell, Melissa Etheridge, Diane Warren, and many others have also shared words of remembrance for the late O\u2019Connor.<\/p>\n
\nGarbage said Instagram: \u201cI\u2019m heartbroken . This disgusting world broke her and kept on breaking her. Godspeed dear fragile dove. Thank you for all the beauty and all the wise teachings you offered up to us. I wish you nothing but peace and I will love you for all of time.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nAlanis Morissette said on Instagram: \u201cSinead was a profound inspiration to many. And to me. Her passion, poetry, and unapologetic expression raised the bar on artistry and female empowerment. Her questioning of societal norms deeply influenced culture\u2019s appreciation of female complexity. Her ability to vulnerably dwell on the small part of the bell-shaped curve was thought provoking, stirring and inspiring. I\u2019m feeling empathy for Ireland, for the world, and for all of us who are saddened by this news.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nSmashing Pumpkins\u2019 Billy Corgan added: \u201cFiercely honest and sweet and funny, she was talented in ways I\u2019m not sure she completely understood. But Sinead stands alone as a figure from our generation who was always true to the piercing voice within and without. And for that I will always admire and respect her. And never forget that she was cancelled for an act of simple resistance. Her crime? Tearing up a photo.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBryan Adams tweeted: \u201cRIP Sin\u00e9ad O\u2019Connor, I loved working with you making photos, doing gigs in Ireland together and chats, all my love to your family.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nR.E.M.\u2019s Michael Stipe said on Instagram: \u201cThere are no words. #sineadoconnor\u201d<\/p>\n
\nThe Charlatans\u2019 Tim Burgess tweeted: \u201cSinead was the true embodiment of a punk spirit. She did not compromise and that made her life more of a struggle. Hoping that she has found peace x.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
