Sinéad O'Connor: The Last Interview

"Her questioning of societal norms deeply influenced culture's appreciation of female complexity." - Alanis Morissette, musician

“It’s like a light has gone out, hasn’t it? A beacon on a high mountain.” – Kate Bush

“Respect to Sinead. She stood for something, unlike most people.” – Ice-T

“Sinéad O’Connor was braver than brave.” – Billy Bragg

"With her voice, Sinéad was able to command all of her emotional complexity to produce something of rare beauty, a pure communication." – The Edge



“A force of nature who was a brilliant songwriter and performer . . . Such passion, such an intense presence and a beautiful soul, who battled her own personal demons so courageously.” – Tori Amos

"A supreme artist. A querulous eccentric. A disquieted soul,
a bursting heart . . . An annoying, questing, relentless contrarian. An unrelenting, unapologetic foghorn loudmouth. A peerless muse . . . She was fabulous." – Bob Geldof

"Fiercely honest and sweet and funny, she was talented in ways I'm 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." - Billy Corgan

"She defied a TV network, a country, a religion. Her boldness was not merely performative, nor was it costume or cultural currency. Most of us couldn’t sacrifice like she did, at the expense of careers and livelihoods, our own hearts. O’Connor had guts and grit and a voice rooted in a deep ache, her singing winged and weighted, a bird clutching a stone. Fierce fragility. No one sounded like Sinéad O’Connor – and no one ever will." -Carrie Brownstein
