Who do the Irish Mirror think are reading 

 

Also is that a promise?

Dead

[Gooseberry Crumble 5,335]

Desperately sad news.

 

I do have an unusual   or minority opinion on her music in that  mandinka is my favourite song of Sineads not Nothing compares to you..

[jd24fan 78]

I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not. She's had problems with mental illness for years, and I'm sure the loss of her son took a big toll on her. It's a shame really. May she R.I.P.

Troy is probably mine. 

 

This is the first 'big' (domestically) death in a while that's surprised me. I did end up saying Fucking Hell very loudly to a train shelter with numerous kids in it

Ah damnit..

[Comped 521]

Kind of unexpected. Did not expect to read this today.

[Slackhurst Broadcasting 373]

Not yet being reported on the BBC website. Also no word about the cause of death? I'm a bit shocked to see it.

[The Happy Reaper 223]

Did the Pope tear up her picture?

[Father Brown 207]

Irish Times has it, but nothing from BBC etc yet

Wrong half of the duo that brought you the chart hit Haunted.

 

The other being Shane MacGowan.

 

Alas and lack a day. Beyond help, poor cow.

 

No hits in 1987 - phew!

[TQR 14,372]

Oh for fuck sake. That’s really sad.

 

She was fearless, talented and loved.

[pazuzu 9]

fucking terrible

Another firmly in the 'Mandinka' camp.

 

Terribly sad news, though possibly not a surprise as I never thought she'd make old bones. I guess there'll be all kinds of speculation but any news on cause of death yet?

Not so far no.

 

I take it you are a big Prisoner Cell Block H fan like me??!!

[Octopus of Odstock 2,180]

I've got the television magazine open as I was just reading about the documentary about her to be shown on Sky Documentaries next week.

Then I read this. Incredible.

 

But not that surprised, sadly.

[Book 3,538]

Oh no  That saddens me.

I really liked her back in the days...

Troy is a masterpiece.

RIP.

Two musical legends gone within a week of each other. 

  

[Vinegar Tits 605]

Well, that's my comedy "you say potato, I say potato famine" French & Saunders St Patrick's Day gif ruined with both Dolores and now Sinead dead. Probably should retire it out of respect, but here it is one last time.
