She advised her children to contact her accountant before calling 911 in such a situation. O’Connor explained her reasoning, pointing out that artists’ works tend to become more valuable after their death. She cited the example of Tupac, who had released more albums posthumously than when he was alive and criticized record companies for their practices.

Sinéad admired Prince as an artist

The discussion arose while she was recalling a peculiar encounter with Prince, whose song “Nothing Compares 2 U” she had recorded. Despite not forming a favourable impression of him personally, she admired him as an artist. O’Connor defended Prince against record labels profiting from his music after his death, expressing her anger over the exploitation of his vault of unreleased songs.

Speaking about Prince, Sinead said that all musicians have songs that they are embarrassed about that are crap. They don’t want anyone listening to them. Prince has released every song he ever recorded. So if Prince went to the trouble of building a vault which is a pretty strong thing to do, it means he really did not want the songs released. O’Connor said she can’t stand that people are ‘raping the vault’

Maintaining control over her work

Regarding her own art, O’Connor had strong opinions about maintaining control over her work even after her passing, ensuring that her children wouldn’t be left unaware of their rights and royalties. Unfortunately, O’Connor passed away at the age of 56, as confirmed by her family in a statement requesting privacy at that difficult time. The cause of her death was not disclosed at the time of reporting.
