Is SinƩad on the verge of being cancelled?
She is a nasty bit of work.
Sadly a matter of time here

While I feel very sorry for her, why would she have to go on twitter to post that she is going to do away with herself? Not to be cold about it, but most people donāt talk about it, they just go and do itā¦
An extreme cry for help for the umpteenth time? I wish her well in any case.
Maybe because she is mentally ill and has just lost her son in tragic circumstances?

I only read bits of her book but my missus read it and said the parents especially the mother gave her an absolutely horrendous time with physical emotional and psychological abuse growing up. No doubt the mother herself went through the same shit too though as a child so on and on it goes š¤·š»

In 1992, Sinead OāConnor 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 āsuch a smackā, Frank Sinatra said he wanted to ākick her assā, and millionaire producer Jonathan King said she āneeded a spankingā.
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 OāConnor from the stage. He instead went out and put his arm around her and checked in on her and stayed until sheād steadied herself and was ready to perform. Sinead replaced the Bob Dylan song she was supposed to sing with Bob Marleyās āWarā, 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 ā posted below ā 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:
āSinead 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 āIām not about to do thatā. I went out and I said āDonāt let the bastards get you downā. She said āIām not downā and she sang. It was very courageous. It just seemed wrong to me, booing that little girl out there. But sheās always had courage.ā

Kristofferson is an alright sort. Dylan the absolute Cunt, who she idolised, stood idly by.
Kristofferson was a far superior songwriter to Dylan too

Ah here. Dylan an oddball for sure, but a songwriter the likes of which the world rarely sees.
Subjective I guess but Dylan wouldnāt make my top 3
Who would make your top 3?
Sunday Morning Coming Down, To Beat the Devil, Caseys last Stand, Help me make it through the night, Me and Bobby McGee were on a different level to your standard Dylan dirge
