Sinead O’Connor dies, aged 56
Sinead O’Connor’s neighbors have spoken about their interactions with the Irish singer following her death aged 56.
O’Connor’s death was confirmed by her family in a statement sent to BBC news Wednesday, July 26. The Dublin-born musician died aged 56 after being found “unresponsive” at “a residential address” in the Lambeth area of London.
According to The times, O’Connor moved into a new penthouse in south London earlier this month, telling her neighbors she had moved back to the capital to feel less lonely.
The publication quoted Pushpakumara Moragamana, 57, who lived opposite. He recalled O’Connor smoking outside the building and discussing religion, mental health and the death of her son Shane, 17, last year.
It seems O’Connor’s neighbors had no idea of her fame. Moragamana said they spoke regularly and recalled an emotional conversation in which the “Nothing Compares 2 U” star said she felt “devastated and depressed” over the loss of her son.

During a performance in 1992 at SNLO’Connor controversially ripped up a picture of Pope John Paul II in a protest against the Catholic Church’s sexual abuse of children.
The move led to a huge and long-lasting backlash – something O’Connor herself reflected on in her 2021 memoir, Memories.
“Many people say or believe that tearing down the Pope’s photo derailed my career,” she wrote. “That’s not how I feel about it, I feel like having a number 1 record derailed my career and tearing the picture up got me back on track.”
