I was not a fan of her music but she was a really talented artist. I wish she had been able to find more comfort in her accomplishments.

She did what no one else had the courage to do. She called out the Catholic Church, and she paid for it. Years later everyone was like, who knew? She was right. May she Rest In Peace.

I grew up listening to her music. So sad. She never had great mental health, it seems, but certainly after her son dying by suicide seemed to really devastate her. I hope she has found peace, finally.

I hope she has found peace, finally. Do we know how she died? I read that after her son was found, she put herself in the hospital because she was afraid she would take her own life. I hope not since she had 3 other children to live for. |

I am so sorry to hear she is gone. I started listening to her music in my senior year of high school and she was very, very influential and inspiring to me at that time, and in my early college years.
She wrote amazing lyrics, had a hauntingly beautiful voice, and she was absolutely fearless in her beliefs. She truly was ahead of her time, mostly misunderstood, and definitely lived with a broken heart.
I hope she is finally at peace and with her son, and that her family and friends will be comforted.
A great loss.

I hadn't heard! I was listening to her this morning. I loved her music growing up- no one spoke their heart like she did. I admired that fearlessness and how she transmuted her pain into the beauty of her voice and music. She was haunting and bittersweet, and I think kind and bleeding in a way that is rare.
8 Good Reasons had come on and I always pause and think of her with these lines:
You know I'm not from this place
I'm from a different time, different space
And it's real uncomfortable
To be stuck somewhere you just don't belong
😥 I hope she has found her peace and home.

She was a hero to Ireland. I just love her music - it’s so powerful and her voice is haunting.
