- Sinead O'Connor has died at the age of 56.
- According to a neighbor, the "Nothing Compares 2 U" singer was in a good mood and friendly in the days before her death.
- During her career, political and social injustices were always very important to the Irish singer.
Sinead O'Connor appeared "happy and laughing" a few days before her death. The Daily Mail reports, quoting the singer's neighbor.
"I saw her about two weeks ago. She seemed happy and was laughing, waving to us. She was out with a friend and said she was going to Brixton. She told me she was a famous singer and had moved in about six weeks ago. She lived there on her own," says the neighbor.
When she saw the ambulance outside the 56-year-old's house at around five o'clock in the afternoon, she only made the connection when she read in the news that Sinead O'Connor had died: "It's so sad, I'm sorry," the neighbor added.
More activist than singer
The Irish Grammy winner became world-famous thanks to her Prince cover "Nothing Compares 2 U" and reached number 1 in the charts worldwide. Despite her success, she actually wanted to be a protest singer rather than a pop star. In the years that followed, she attracted attention for her social and political commentary.
Her last tweets were also about her son, whom she lost in spring 2022, and she said she lived as a "creature of the night" for a long time.
