The DJ delivered a fitting tribute to O'Connor, and the impact of her career 'Everything she said came true.'
has added his own words to the singer's untimely passing.Speaking on ITV's Good Morning show, the radio host reminded the audience of O'Connor's protests throughout her career, particularly pointing to her"She never wanted to be any of that, she never wanted the fame that came with it. She was maybe kind of taken aback and shocked," said Fanning.
"So when she went to make her protest - because she felt that she was a protest singer not a popstar - and tore of the picture of the pope of the television which was really radical and huge at the time and she was destroyed - not just by famous people like Madonna and loads of others. "I mean Joe Pesci came on the programme the next week and put the picture of the pope back together again and said 'I hope she doesn't come back to our country', Frank Sinatra said terrible things.
"And then nine years later: prescient. Everything she said came true and we saw the abuses in the Catholic church right across the way. She just called the church the most evil institution in the world and she has a point when you look at the evidence. So she was ahead of her time, let's say."
