Should be a multi millionaire, amazing talent, not really sincere these days, just chasing cash.
Sheâs just looking for that big HSE cheque

Surely she must be a multi millionaire or at least was?
Doing nothing for years and then the recent tour when she is shot to shit would say money problems to me but I could be wrong.
She gave what reads like almost the exact same interview on the Late Late Show a few months ago.
Maybe they both forgot about their discussion on 29th May.
Back in hospital
In 1992, Sinead OâConnor ripped up a picture of the Pope on live television, in protest of the rampant child sexual abuse the Catholic Church was actively covering up. In the weeks that followed, Joe Pesci said he wanted to give her âsuch a smackâ, Frank Sinatra said he wanted to âkick her assâ, and millionaire producer Jonathan King said she âneeded a spankingâ.
She was 26.
Ten days later, she was scheduled to perform at Madison Square Gardens, as part of a celebration of Bob Dylan. As soon as she got to the microphone, the audience began loudly booing her, seemingly in unison. She talked later about how awful the sound was, and how she thought she was going to be sick.
The organizers tasked Kris Kristofferson with removing OâConnor from the stage. He instead went out and put his arm around her and checked in on her and stayed until sheâd steadied herself and was ready to perform. Sinead replaced the Bob Dylan song she was supposed to sing with Bob Marleyâs âWarâ, changing some of the lyrics to be about child abuse.
As she came off stage, Kristofferson grabbed her in a bear hug and kissed her cheek. In the video â posted below â you can see that she pulls away at one point and throws up. He just wraps her back in his arms and holds her tight.
About the incident, he says:
âSinead had just recently on Saturday Night Live torn up a picture of the Pope, in a gesture that I thought was very misunderstood. And she came out and got booed. They told me to go get her off the stage and I said âIâm not about to do thatâ. I went out and I said âDonât let the bastards get you downâ. She said âIâm not downâ and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed wrong to me, booing that little girl out there. But sheâs always had courage.â

I was just listening to her second album at weekend. At her best she was and is amazing.

Kris Kristofferson is a decent man. Frank Sinatra not so much

I enjoyed this. Sinead is well able to write. Even just reading this chapter gives a fair insight into a tortured soul.

Didnât they have a massive falling out?
Granted sheâd start a row in an empty room at times.
She shopped him to Gardai for using heroin about a decade back. He was well p1ssed off about it, she went on chat show circuit talking how she did it to help him and only made it worse

They replaced a mysogynist who masqueraded as woman with something even weirder. Well done Sindo
