Sinead O’Connor dies aged 56

Sinead O’Connor’s funeral will take place in her Irish hometown today following her death aged 56.

Fans of the late singer mourning her loss are already lining the streets and leaving gifts as they prepare to say a final goodbye.

From 10.30am today, a funeral cortege will progress along the seafront in Bray, past Sinead’s former home, Montebello.

The family of the late star have asked people who wish to say a “last goodbye” to stand along Bray seafront in Co Wicklow as the cortege passes by before a private burial.

The procession will begin at the Harbour Bar end of Strand Road and will continue past the home she lived in for 15 years.

Following her death on July 26, fans have been leaving flowers and paying their respects at the house, which the singer sold in 2021.

Ahead of her funeral, her family said: “Sinéad loved living in Bray and the people in it.

One mourner thanked the Nothing Compares 2 U singer for her activism and love for her fans.

“You were gentle with us, you tried to stay with us, thank you for helping us,” part of it read.

Another handwritten note from a fan named Bridget read: “Thank you for your short special life, gone too soon.

“Give your lovely son Shane a hug for me in heaven. Have a nice long rest with Shane.”

The message was referencing her second youngest child Shane, who died by suicide in January last year.

Her three other children Jake Reynolds, Roisin Waters and Yeshua Bonadio are expected to attend her funeral today.

Sinead was found unresponsive by police at her south-east London home on 26 July.

Her death is not being treated as suspicious and an autopsy result is expected within weeks determining the cause of her death.
