Sinead O'Connor said in an interview years before she died that she couldn't wait to get to heaven and see her mother again.

The Irish singing icon passed away on Wednesday, 26 July, aged just 56 with her family breaking the news as millions mourned across the world.

But an interview she did with American psychologist and TV host, Dr Phil, has resurfaced where the Nothing Compares 2 U singer admitted that she was excited at the prospect of seeing her mother again on the other side.

The singer lost her mum, Marie, at the tender age of 18 after being in a car crash, but the relationship the two shared had always been difficult.

Sinead had spoken openly in recent years about how she had faced abuse and beatings at the hands of her mother and on the interview with Dr Phil, she branded her mother "evil."

However, she went onto say that she would have still cared for her mum if she was still around despite their rocky relationship and that she missed her greatly.

She said: "I cannot wait until the day that I naturally get to Heaven so that I can see my mother again. I’d throw myself on her like a monkey and I’d never let go. I’d tell her I love you, I love you, I missed you so bad.

“My life has been terrible, terrible, terrible, terrible. I miss her so bad. I can’t wait to see her again.”

Throughout the interview, Sinead opened up about what life was really like for her growing up with her mother and recalled: "She kicked the s*** out of me. She won’t change her clothes. She won’t wash. The same for us, five years of living in the same clothes. No washing.

"She won’t heat the house. She won’t get lights. She won’t get out of bed. She won’t stop taking drugs.

“She never tells me I’m pretty. She never tells me I’m sweet. She makes my little brother scream. She smells. There was a smell about her that was sickness. The smell of evil you know.”

But the abuse also turned psychological as Dr Phil asked hurt her on the inside: "Kicking me, kicking me, kicking me, kicking me and kicking me. And telling me I’m evil and telling me I shouldn’t have been born and the reason my father left is my fault."

She recalled that all she wanted from her mother at the time was cuddles and kisses but instead she received a lot of abuse.
