I saw Sinead live many times.
First time when I was 12.
With my sister, with my mom.
My wife and I listened to her all the time.
My son Henry listened to her & I think about him when I listen to her now.
I was so sad when her son died.
I love her she is my hero in art & honesty.
She was very supportive of Public Enemy,,, and she was a legend thats gone too soon.
My condolences to her son and family.
