People have began to gather to say their goodbyes
Fans are expected to line an Irish coastal road to bid farewell to the acclaimed singer, as the cortege passes by before a private burial.
One sign left at the wall of the property listed causes that the singer had expressed support for, including welcoming refugees: “Where words fail, music speaks.”O’Connor’s family have asked people who wish to say a “last goodbye” to stand along the Bray seafront as the cortege passes by. The Irish Grammy-winning singer was found unresponsive by police at her south-east London home, aged 56.
Erika Doyle told BBC Breakfast: “I was a lifelong fan of Sinead. We met quite by chance when she moved to Bray… Sinead, although she was attached to Bray and very Irish, she was a global superstar, that is easy for us to forget here in Bray – she touched lives across the world.” “She was controversial but in the way when people say things that people aren’t ready for… speaking truth to power.”
Her second studio album, I Do Not Want What I Haven’t Got, followed in 1990 and contained the hit single Nothing Compares 2 U, which saw O’Connor top the charts in countries around the world.
