Sinead O'Connor's haunting final interview as documentary filmed weeks before death at 56
Sinéad O'Connor's final interview before her death discussed childhood abuse and how she found "music was therapy".
As a child Sinéad was subject to neglect and abuse from her mother, including being made to live in their garden "24/7 for a week or two". Sinéad explained: "I’d be screaming, begging her to let me in. I spent my entire childhood being beaten up because of the social conditions under which my mother grew up."
Sinéad's first husband John Reynolds explains what inspired Sinéad to shave her head, and create the iconic buzzcut hairstyle she was known for: "Obviously she was having absolutely none of it. It’s a powerful statement for a woman because she says, ‘Don’t f**k with me.'" Sinéad revealed she was thinking of her mother who had died in a car accident five years before, as she commented: "I didn’t know I was going to cry singing it. Every time I sing the song, I think of my mother,” she admits. “I never stopped crying for my mother. I couldn’t face being in Ireland for 13 years. I never even called home, I just cut myself off entirely."
