• Singer Sinéad O'Connor is dead at the age of 56.
• O'Connor, who lost a 17-year-old son, is survived by three children.
• Fans recently reacted to a video O'Connor made to prove her identity on social media.

Sinéad O'Connor has died at the age of 56. Her family released a statement saying that they had been engulfed with great sadness due to the death of the famous Irish singer and songwriter.

O'Connor was born in Dublin on October 8, 1966. She was one of five children and had opened up about her difficult childhood. The singer said she suffered physical abuse at the hands of her mom, who died in a car crash in 1985.

The "I Want You" singer lived in a Magdalene asylum at the age of 15. She was placed there due to cases of truancy and shoplifting. It's at this center that her musical talents were discovered, and in 1987, she released her first critically acclaimed album, "The Lion And The Cobra."

However, O'Connor became a star in 1990 when she released her version of "Nothing Compares 2 U," which was written by Prince. The singer released a unique rendition of this song, making it sound like her own, and her fans received it well as it topped charts around the world.

"Nothing Compares 2 U" earned O'Connor several Grammy Award nominations. The singer was also named Artist of the Year in 1991 by Rolling Stone Magazine. In her entire career, O'Connor recorded ten solo albums, wrote songs that featured in films, and worked with several other artists.

O'Connor was a star loved by her fans and family. Sadly, they are now in mourning after the singer passed away. In a statement, the family expressed their devastation over O'Connor's death and requested privacy during this difficult time.

The "8 Good Reasons" singer was married four times. She once said in an interview that she was a lesbian, but when she was interviewed in follow-up press interviews, she confessed that she was bisexual. The singer was also a mother of four. She lost one of her children, a son, Shane, in 2022, and is survived by three kids.

A day before Shane's body was found, O'Connor said her son was traumatized and had been on suicide watch at Tallaght Hospital's Lynn Ward.

Aside from talking about her sexuality, O'Connor was a troubled musician who had spoken openly about suffering from mental health problems. In 2007, while on the Oprah Winfrey Show, the singer said she had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and had suffered suicidal thoughts.

O'Connor went through several mental health breakdowns that affected her health and career. Her fans were constantly worried about her. In 2015, she posted a message on Facebook saying she had taken an overdose of meds at a hotel in Ireland.

In 2017, she shared a video on Facebook where she cried as she told her followers that she was feeling suicidal due to her mental health issues. On July 9, 2023, O'Connor shared a video with her fans on Twitter where she confessed that losing a son wasn't great for her body.

How Did Fans React to O'Connor's Final Video?

The video O'Connor shared on Twitter on July 9, 2023, turned out to be her final one. The singer created the video to prove her identity to her fans, who had doubted that she was the one running the Twitter account.

O'Connor said she didn't want to make the video because she felt that she didn't look good. The singer noted that her body wasn't looking great because she had lost her son. In the video, O'Connor showed off her guitar and said she was excited to write tunes with it.

She was also looking happy, healthy, and vibrant in the video and showed sunflowers in a vase on her kitchen table. "Oooh yea, I've got Vaseline all over my face, not for any good reason, not for any beautiful or sexual reason, I mean, but yea, It's good for your skin," a glowing O'Connor pointed out.

Fans reacted to O'Connor's video. They said she was a beautiful woman who looked great. Other fans said they have confirmed it's her running the Twitter account and were glad to see her again.

Fans said they could see the pain of losing a son on O'Connor's face. They thanked O'Connor for the video and noted that they couldn't wait to hear the tunes she would generate with her new guitar.

More fans pointed out that the pain of losing her son was so visible on O'Connor's face. They sent her hugs and even wished that they could help her carry this pain. Fans weren't aware this would be the singer's last video shared with them before her death, but they still showed her love and kindness and comforted her.

What Happened to O'Connor's Son?

O'Connor's son Shane O'Connor was on suicide watch in an Irish hospital before he died. The singer's son died by suicide after he somehow managed to leave the hospital. Shane's father is Donal Lunny, an Irish singer. Lunny and O'Connor were no longer together.

Shane disappeared from the hospital on January 6, 2022, and the police were looking for him. On January 7, 2022, the Ireland police issued a statement that they had recovered a body in the Bray area of Wicklow.

The Ireland police added that a missing person appeal in respect to Shane had been stood down, confirming that the body they found was O'Connor's son. The singer's representative also confirmed the death of Shane. The representative shared O'Connor's message:

"My beautiful son, Nevi'im Nesta Ali Shane O'Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God. May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example."

O'Connor added that she loved her baby boy so much and said that he could finally be at peace. A day before Shane's body was found, O'Connor said her son was traumatized and had been on suicide watch at Tallaght Hospital's Lynn Ward.

The singer wondered how her son went missing while on suicide watch. She added that the hospital had refused to take responsibility and threatened to sue the facility if anything were to happen to her son.

O'Connor then wrote another tweet pleading with her son Shane to come home. She informed Shane in the tweet that she was scared because he was missing. The singer begged Shane to present himself at the Gardai police station.

The "This Is The Day" singer confessed that if anything were to happen to Shane, her world would collapse. "You are my heart. Please don't stop it from beating. Please don't harm yourself," she added.

Unfortunately, O'Connor never got to see her son alive again. The death of her son broke the singer's heart. She had once referred to him as her baby, who had a beautiful smile on a beautiful face. Now, with the death of O'Connor, mother and son will be reunited.
