MIXED FEELINGS AT THE TIME BECAUSE I WAS RAISED CATHOLIC AND WAS MOLESTED BUT BY A RELATIVE. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW GOD WOULD FEEL ABOUT WHAT SHE DID KNOWING THAT A MAN OF THE CLOTH WILL BE JUDGED 10 FOLD. NOW I BELIEVE SHE DID THE RIGHT THING AT THE WRONG TIME
I can hear the hurt in you Gary whilst your telling us about what happened to the beautiful ms O’Connor she was just a lovely woman inside and out,, She is in heaven with her son ,,,, God bless you Gary’ mate - Patrick from Ireland 🇮🇪,,
I TRULY wish that the world had been kinder to her. My heart is broken. So glad that Kris was there for her at that time, as much as he could have been.
Kristofferson encouraged Sinead and embraced her as she ran off stage, but no-one saved her. She bravely stood tall against a stadium full of hostility (can't even imagine it!) herself.
@cathybutcher4826 plenty of people spoke out against the church and have since it was founded over 1000yrs ago😅 Why do you think other churches formed?
There's an interview with Kristofferson where he tells the interviewer that he walked onto the stage and told Sinead O'Connor, " Don't let the bastards get you down." Kristofferson didn't save O'Connor, he stood in solidarity with her. She saved the performance herself. And she was pissed at Dylan. She glares at him - he's standing in the wings. Dylan does nothing, says nothing to her or the crowd - his crowd. Sinead O'Connor wasn't fearless she was terrified, terrified of the harms that were happening to people. She bravely stood in that fear and refused to be silenced.
They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Kris Kristofferson, Willy Nelson, and Peter Gabriel to name a few leads me to believe that she was worth knowing. The renditions of Don't give up with Willy and live with Peter singing Blood of Eden are quite touching and sung perfectly. RIP Sinead.
Very few women stand up for what's right and she certainly did even at the cost of her health and career. That's a brave woman heart and soul. Rest in Peace sweet lady.
I agree. Kristofferson didn't "save" Sinead; Sinead did not need to be "saved" by anyone on that stage. The description of this video is grossly misleading. Gary, now is the time to change it.
I remember that night so very clearly, my heart broke for her. It was appalling but I had huge respect for Kris Kristofferson for coming out to her and staying with her. I understand her actions of the night before but I believe a lot of people were unaware or blinded to the darker side of the church. However many of us in Ireland did understand her and remained staunch supporters. Her death has hit hard and I am so sad that she has left us. Rest in peace Sinead and may you rest in peace at last. You are sorely missed already
Rest In Peace our beloved Sinead 😢 Her courage showed in all she'd do, A genuine heart, forever grew. Now she's ascended, beyond the skies, Her presence felt, her legacy lies.
Definitely man i found that very moving when kris went over to sinead and comforted her when no one else would Rest in piece sinead your where a brave warrior
Gary my friend, I was very sad when I found out online that Sinead O'Connor had passed away, especially at such young age! I completely agree with you... ''There definitely needs to be more people like Kris Kristofferson!'' 💌
Don't forget Lou Reed a while later at an other benefit. Where all the artist were in one room and none talked to Sinead. When Lou came in he ignored all the fellow artist and only talked to Sinead. A great statement at that moment.
Sinead has the right to oppress her opinions. The crowd has the right to express their different opinions. Kris was not brave to help her. He was just Kris. I can't think of any situation that will get him stressed out.
@@Deontjie People had that right indeed, but Sinead didn't do it on Bob's concert, so the public hadn't to do that, a bunch of hypocrits that call themselves good christian and all wear a gun. How many are catholic, how many abused. Sinead was both. Were was Bob, it was his party but didnt show up.
@@ickyflix1955 I wouldn't have done it. But let the people speak. Even if they are stupid. I wouldn't have paid to hear Sinead sing like that. People differ, I support legal guns, but I am not sure if the Pope should be part of Christendom.
He had her back, as they say in England. Well done, for standing to him for standing with her. He knew there was more at stake giving into the bullies. She was proved right in the end. The public funeral procession in Bray, swaying along to Bob Marleys Natural Mystic was very sad and also celebrated her unique talent. A fine tribute, on her last journey. It did bring me to tears and also I had goosebumps, I had played the same tune the day before. Two artists gone too soon.
I had forgotten this event. She had every right to her opinions. Kris has always been spoken of as a good and kind man, loyal to his friends and forgiving, as he was forgiven by loved ones, other’s youthful indiscretions. He proved himself a gentleman once again.
Thank you for sharing the story, I hadn’t heard it before ❣️ Noble Sinead who always said it as it was & then Kris taking his stand! Just shows the separation of the wheat from the chaff!
People can be so cruel ,how can anyone do that . She spoke her truth , where are these people now , and why are they silent on what’s going on in this world
It's a really hard thing to watch, all that booing. Sinead was amazing!! What a warrior Sinead was! Her composure under such duress was the stuff of legends!!
I wonder how many of those folks who BOOED her later praised her without saying they were sorry and offered up their OWN atonement. Some folks are cowards. I know it is hard to say I WAS WRONG. but it seemed a LOT OF PEOPLE were on the wrong side of history when she did that... so where are THEY now?
I've lived with Depression all of my life. I've been "booed" in a different way and I can tell you, it's heartbreaking. Life has no rhyme or reason. We all really need someone to love us-al.
There is a second part in this story, the opposite of Kris Kristofferson's courage there was the cowardly behavior of Bob Dylan, who did not have the balls to confront the crowd. She was a young woman, his guest... An incredibly mean behavior. “I feel like Bob Dylan is the one who should have come out and told his audience to let me sing. And I’m pissed that he didn’t. So I glare at him in the wings as if he’s my big brother who’s just told my parents I skipped school. He stares back at me, baffled. He’s looking all handsome in his white shirt and pants. It’s the weirdest 30 seconds of my life.” Rememberings, O’Connor.
Bob doesn't always do the right thing. And Five years later, 1997, in Bologna, Italy, Cowboy Bob sung and tipped his white hat to Pope John. Kinda two peas in a pod. Both Dylan and Pope John used the youth conference to their advantage.
What’s interesting to me is that when Bob Dylan came out to sing at a Joan Baez before he was famous the crowd started booing him and Joan Baez shut that down right away and told the audience to listen to him.
More like Kris would heal the world of its collective brain washing. We need people to speak from their hearts now more than ever!!!… RIP Sinead… I grew up with the music of this brave and beautiful woman. She had rawness that most people don’t have the courage to express💔💔💔💔💔
Yes sir. I wish more people to be like this man. The world would be a beautiful place to live in. Sinead O’ Connor she was amazing. Still playing her music. Great video. Thank you
Telling that as she is now seen and being hailed as a truth telling, brave, visionary pop icon. Good to remember it was ONLY Kris who would stand by her side and try to affirm the message she was sending when the chips were down.. Beautiful Birds of a feather flock together....The backlash O'Conner met with is so predictable in shallow, false hearted America...How people rally around their myths and try to hide their corruption when someone pokes a hole in them.
WoW, thank you so much Gary! I did not know about this. I still have to go and look at that SNL cause it never came to my attention. It means a lot to me that you shared this and so God bless you and Kris, I am so sorry Sinead had to experience people who are obviously quick to judge someone.
The recent homage to her by the movie "Nothing Compares" was shortchanged without showing her performance originally singing her breakout song, "Nothing Compares To You". It was not allowed for use because of the in fighting of Prince's relatives over his will. That in fighting continues still to this day, years after Princes death.
Fibromyalgia is no joke. It is pain throughout your body, and it can begin in your childhood, from trauma you have encountered. More people need to learn about this. It’s horrible to live with.
I respect that Fibromyalgia 💯 I have had it for nearly most of my lifetime and stress traumatic experience makes it worse,we need to be brave and not stand by and watch evil doers we need to protect one another doing nothing when you see someone committing criminal behavior or mean spirited person against another in my heart ❤️ you are worse than the original perpetrators as to sit back and know someone is being hurt so horrific and doing nothing,in my opinion there is nothing worse
Oh the poor woman, fibromyalgia can be a nightmare. Depression, IBS, fatigue, brain fog, along with loads of other maladies, haunt one without warning! I've lived with it since 1986. Her son's death and the isolation were the straw that broke the camel's back. Sinead, may you RIP. ❤️🕯
Awesome reminder - thanks for taking time to share this beautiful story in this age of thoughtless condemnation of our fellow brothers and sisters. Each one a person who, at the end of the day, are doing the best they can manage to prevail with the degree of compassion and humanity surviving beyond their wounding. I love the quote - creativity is the child in us that survived.
At some time in our lives,we will be bullied,going through injustice and suffering even from our family.If we are mature and loving,we will do things in constructive ways to help other who suffer the same fate as we.We will not add to the trauma by all these destructive unprofitable ways.
Miraclemedit Not a lateral thinker are you I meant John Lennon lot of talk of peace and war in a bed with media around Sinead stood in front of a mob You fixated on years dead for some reason ???
He told her not to let the bastards get her down , can hear him say it in the original version of concert and he talked about saying it during a tv interview
GARY, YOUR VOICE ALONE TELLS A MOST TOUCHING STORY ABOUT THE PERSON THAT YOU ARE IN YOUR HEART. I AGREE WITH ALL THAT YOU SAID 100%. I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND IN MY HEART WHY PEOPLE THAVE TO INTENTIONAL HURT ANOTHER HUMAN BEING AND THINK THAT IS OK. IT IS NEVER OK. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, IT IS SO MUCH EASIER TO JUST SIT QUIET, IF ONE OBJECTS TO SOMETHING SO SIMPLY AS SINGING A SONG (UNLESS IT IS SO INAPPROPRIATE AND DISGUSTING, I MIGHT HAVE TO OBJECT IN SOMEWAY. (IN A NOTE OR LETTER, BUT NOT IN SOUNDING OFF LOUDLY). THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR KIND AND DEEPLY CARING, LOVING HEART. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS, ALWAYS~~BEV~!~
Im so glad you made this video and your kind words on Sinead and Kris I love them both. And people who judge without knowing whole story is a huge problem still in this world. So thanks again.
She may have not needed him…but to me the message here is that he showed himself a friend and had compassion. She leaned on him at the end. They became good friends afterwards.
I agree with you - his behaviour was admirable- he'd been told to 'get her off stage' and did the opposite. But your headline is about K.K. saving Sinead which is misleading.
Thank you for standing up for people who make a statement against oppression and abuse. Yes, I always admired Kris as a defender of decency and resistance against hate.
KK had daughters her age. Also he is a guy who fights against bullies. Listen to his songs about Central America and the CIA. He is his own man. He is a very stand up guy. I was very glad that he helped her. That was a very classy thing to do. Everyone else acted like assholes in that situation. Including Bob Dylan. As for what she did on SNL....good for her. I advocated for abused children. So many of them were children who were of The Church. They were profoundly abused. The Vatican and The Clergy hid out like the cowards that they are. I am Jewish. The Jewish System doesn't deal any better with Rabbinic Abuse either. All these Religious Institutions have to be forced by Legal Action to deal with these issues. And quite honestly she was Irish and Ireland has a long history of not dealing with Child Abuse that comes out of the Catholic Church System. I was sorry to hear that she passed. She was very much a survivor of abuse, including Incest. She had all of the physical and emotional issues that children and adults who have been severely sexually abused have. May She Be Most Happiest In Paradise!
I never heard this story before but it doesn't surprise me. Kris doesn't care what the crowd says or what other people think. He's going to stand up for what he thinks is right. That, and about a million other reasons, are why he's one of the coolest dudes who ever lived.
If you've ever listened to the stuff that Kristofferson has written that never made it to the radio, you will realize that he's quite the rebel himself.
So many in the world think they should judge and protest a person who resists the unkind and dehumanizing practises of man instead of applauding their bringing those wrongs into the light in order to follow the right path? Amazingly brave and honorable was sinead. Peace to all affected by her tragic exit From this existence. ❤
At least she always held her head up high and friends like kris who was there in time of when she was in need of a friend who understood sinead..God bless you sinead Amen🙏💖🌹.And good on you kris.👍🤞💖
Kris Kristofferson also had many problems with fans and trying to make it into music. He dealt with drug and alcohol for many many years. Even during the time of one of his famous movies was 1976 a star is born. He was perfect for the role, but Barbra Streisand did not like him at all he was going through trouble with his wife and, it was hard for him to deal with all of that that his fans will never know everything. I can see why he helped Sinead O’Connor because he went through the same thing many years prior. Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I had forgot about that. Take care and God bless ♥️🙏🏼
Sinead was a lioness. The world had heard her roar. She had tons of courage for one so young. The crowd booed at her. She calmly stood her ground and even managed to sing her song and only stopped singing when she made her point. The tears only come behind the scenes. It must have been hurt like hell for someone with so much sensitivity. Kris Kristoffenson was standing by Sinead when the crowd was against her. That took courage, compassion and integrity and bespoke of the stature of the man and one true friend. No rat for sinking ship here. Sinead had at least one staunch ally fighting in her corner. Rest in peace. Sinead O'Connor ❤ p.s. I think I actually miss you more as a person than as a singer, if that's possible. She is of my generation. What the world did to her was criminal.
Sinead O’Connor did not need anyone to save the day for her. She had more poise, presence, and integrity than most anyone you can name. Good on Kris Kristofferson for trying to be there for her, but she was doing just fine.
Kris has always been a stand up guy She was proven right about the Catholic Church and the horrors of the troubles in Ireland She had to take so much crap and never backed down
She spoke out about the abuses of the Catholic Churches when people didn't want to believe the lil boys and lil girls who grew up and finally used their voices as adults to tell the world of the real hidden graves and all the kinds of abuse the Church allowed to happen to the innocent children that was turned over to their care, to this day people still defend the Catholic & Christian churches /charities but not the children who were their victims to be traumatized for life!
Given that this happened the night after her now infamous SNL appearance in 1992 you have to ask yourself 1 question. How many of those people booing her that night even had any idea WHY they were booing Sínead O'Connor as they were swept up in pack mentality & merely following the crowd. But they did it anyway. How many of them do you think boo'd her even though they weren't Catholic & couldn't care less about attending church every Sunday.
First of all, if everyone knew how many shows Bob Dylan was vehemently BOO'ed at in the 60s, when he 'went electric' and toured with The Band, Sinead would be truly PROUD of continuing in Dylan's fine tradition of being BOO'ed night after night, for months, by so-called FANS, and not really giving a shit. Secondly, KUDOs to Mr Kris Kristofersson, who himself wouldn't give a damn about some over-excited and abusive audience, proof of which is his support of a fellow artist who he saw was in a tough spot and wasn't handling it well. I wish I could have heard the words of comfort and encouragement he whispered into her ear that night... RIP Sinead, your struggles are over; and Kris, at 87 years old, keep on truckin' bro. You're still everyone's hero...
Thanks for watching. While you’re here, check out my podcast with the latest music interviews.

IS SO SWEET & SENTIMENTAL
I TRULY wish that the world had been kinder to her. My heart is broken. So glad that Kris was there for her at that time, as much as he could have been.
DYLAN failed this day
Kristofferson stood as a man
RIP Sinead O'Connor
So true!
Dylan was always a bit of a con.
No, Dylan’s fans failed I assume. If he did not come out against her, he did not fail her. Kris showed his character.
Kristofferson encouraged Sinead and embraced her as she ran off stage, but no-one saved her. She bravely stood tall against a stadium full of hostility (can't even imagine it!) herself.
And she was proven right about the abuse! Apologies anyone? Thanks Kris🙏and thankyou dear Sinead🙏🎶💚
She certainly was proven correctly.
It's not like it was her discovery. She was just repeating it on a big stage
@@veganpottertheveganAt a time when nobody else had the balls to come out publicly against the church and put their career on the chopping block.
@cathybutcher4826 plenty of people spoke out against the church and have since it was founded over 1000yrs ago😅 Why do you think other churches formed?
@cathybutcher4826 she also just left a trash church for another trash religion. Totally love her but that's ridiculous

Sinead O'Connor wasn't fearless she was terrified, terrified of the harms that were happening to people. She bravely stood in that fear and refused to be silenced.
can't we just appreciate a small act of kindness without getting bogged down in semantics?
some of us can surely appreciate the semantics too
Well Dylan the protest singer was long gone and however boisterous you may have seen him in 60s clips he actually has a timid streak.
She was truly courageous!
When was Dylan a protest singer?
They say you can tell a lot about a person by the company they keep. Kris Kristofferson, Willy Nelson, and Peter Gabriel to name a few leads me to believe that she was worth knowing. The renditions of Don't give up with Willy and live with Peter singing Blood of Eden are quite touching and sung perfectly. RIP Sinead.
This is exactly what I would expect Kris Kristofferson to do that is the kind of man he is I love Sineád and the courage it took to be her
Very few women stand up for what's right and she certainly did even at the cost of her health and career. That's a brave woman heart and soul. Rest in Peace sweet lady.
Sinéad O’Connor was an Exceptional person. RIP 💐
her health and mental balance was compromised by that insane monster 'mother', and her being bipolar. That makes her even more brave ofc
Very few women stand up for what's right? Please.
Yes, certainly we need more people like Kris, but truly the brave hero in this is Sinead herself, and we need more people like her.
Absolutely ..spot on. Brave Hearts❤❤
I agree. Kristofferson didn't "save" Sinead; Sinead did not need to be "saved" by anyone on that stage. The description of this video is grossly misleading. Gary, now is the time to change it.

Because their hypocrite's. They'll believe anything lies main stream media tells them.
Needs to be more people like Sinead also she wasn’t afraid to speak her mind
Sinead was incredibly brave - if not fearless and determined to speak truth to power. Life always follows death, and soul is eternal.
It's a really hard thing to watch, all that booing. Sinead was amazing!! What a warrior Sinead was! Her composure under such duress was the stuff of legends!!
I wonder how many of those folks who BOOED her later praised her without saying they were sorry and offered up their OWN atonement. Some folks are cowards.

(IN A NOTE OR LETTER, BUT NOT IN SOUNDING OFF LOUDLY). THANK YOU FOR YOUR THOUGHTS AND YOUR KIND AND DEEPLY CARING, LOVING HEART. BLESSINGS TO YOU AND YOURS, ALWAYS~~BEV~!~
She always in my heart her song s say how it was . Her songs tell you just. How she was feeling. .god bless you were you go now .love allway xxx
Im so glad you made this video and your kind words on Sinead and Kris I love them both. And people who judge without knowing whole story is a huge problem still in this world. So thanks again.
Sinead Oconnor, Malcolm X was the voice off the voiceless, but missunderstood, God bless them!
Heartbreaking event. Dylan fell out of grace permanently. No balls, loser first class.
ABSOLUTELY !! Lost All respect for him and for my love of his singing, cmposing and guitar n Blues-harp playing. Heis a COWARD !!
This is devastating. When you connect with an artist and can relate to the story.
In Sinead's book "Rememberings" sinead recalled thinking she doesn't need a man to save her.
She didn't need Kris that night. She was so poised and took control. She was totally in control, answering him "I'm not" and then busting into War.
@@rossosbornfamilyfoundation3536 right. Also read the segment in her book. She explains it extensively. It's beautiful.
She may have not needed him…but to me the message here is that he showed himself a friend and had compassion. She leaned on him at the end. They became good friends afterwards.
I agree with you - his behaviour was admirable- he'd been told to 'get her off stage' and did the opposite. But your headline is about K.K. saving Sinead which is misleading.
a beautiful person now gone
sometimes weird, always true
This was wonderful and sensitive and I appreciate it, thank you.
Kris Kristofferson is an Earth Angel. xoxoxo RIP Sinead xoxoxo
Sinead has struggled greatly with the loss of her son who killed himself at 17 a yr and a half ago.
I adored her as I could relate with her life,
Thank you for standing up for people who make a statement against oppression and abuse. Yes, I always admired Kris as a defender of decency and resistance against hate.
KK had daughters her age. Also he is a guy who fights against bullies. Listen to his songs about Central America and the CIA. He is his own man. He is a very stand up guy. I was very glad that he helped her. That was a very classy thing to do. Everyone else acted like assholes in that situation. Including Bob Dylan. As for what she did on SNL....good for her. I advocated for abused children. So many of them were children who were of The Church. They were profoundly abused. The Vatican and The Clergy hid out like the cowards that they are. I am Jewish. The Jewish System doesn't deal any better with Rabbinic Abuse either. All these Religious Institutions have to be forced by Legal Action to deal with these issues. And quite honestly she was Irish and Ireland has a long history of not dealing with Child Abuse that comes out of the Catholic Church System. I was sorry to hear that she passed. She was very much a survivor of abuse, including Incest. She had all of the physical and emotional issues that children and adults who have been severely sexually abused have. May She Be Most Happiest In Paradise!
I never heard this story before but it doesn't surprise me. Kris doesn't care what the crowd says or what other people think. He's going to stand up for what he thinks is right. That, and about a million other reasons, are why he's one of the coolest dudes who ever lived.
Good man kris,that’s called being a decent human being.
Kris is a special man ❤
She was heartbroken. ❤
If you've ever listened to the stuff that Kristofferson has written that never made it to the radio, you will realize that he's quite the rebel himself.
So many in the world think they should judge and protest a person who resists the unkind and dehumanizing practises of man instead of applauding their bringing those wrongs into the light in order to follow the right path? Amazingly brave and honorable was sinead.
Peace to all affected by her tragic exit From this existence.
❤
At least she always held her head up high and friends like kris who was there in time of when she was in need of a friend who understood sinead..God bless you sinead Amen🙏💖🌹.And good on you kris.👍🤞💖
How right she was❤
I LOVE THEM BOTH FOR THEIR LOVE
!
Fair play to Chris for doing that sound man !
KRIS IS A INSPIRING GUY💙🎶THX
Kris Kristofferson also had many problems with fans and trying to make it into music. He dealt with drug and alcohol for many many years. Even during the time of one of his famous movies was 1976 a star is born. He was perfect for the role, but Barbra Streisand did not like him at all he was going through trouble with his wife and, it was hard for him to deal with all of that that his fans will never know everything. I can see why he helped Sinead O’Connor because he went through the same thing many years prior.
Thank you so much for bringing that to my attention. I had forgot about that.
Take care and God bless ♥️🙏🏼
Sinead was a lioness. The world had heard her roar. She had tons of courage for one so young. The crowd booed at her. She calmly stood her ground and even managed to sing her song and only stopped singing when she made her point. The tears only come behind the scenes. It must have been hurt like hell for someone with so much sensitivity.
Kris Kristoffenson was standing by Sinead when the crowd was against her. That took courage, compassion and integrity and bespoke of the stature of the man and one true friend. No rat for sinking ship here. Sinead had at least one staunch ally fighting in her corner.
Rest in peace. Sinead O'Connor ❤
p.s. I think I actually miss you more as a person than as a singer, if that's possible. She is of my generation. What the world did to her was criminal.
Good on Kris and Sinead.
Thats beautiful
I met him in an airport when I was a kid and he was super nice, genuinely interested and kind. Cool guy
He's a kind soooooo kind genius
Sinead told the catholic church to go eff themselves. She's my HERO
Sinead O’Connor did not need anyone to save the day for her. She had more poise, presence, and integrity than most anyone you can name. Good on Kris Kristofferson for trying to be there for her, but she was doing just fine.
Kris has always been a stand up guy She was proven right about the Catholic Church and the horrors of the troubles in Ireland She had to take so much crap and never backed down
She spoke out about the abuses of the Catholic Churches when people didn't want to believe the lil boys and lil girls who grew up and finally used their voices as adults to tell the world of the real hidden graves and all the kinds of abuse the Church allowed to happen to the innocent children that was turned over to their care, to this day people still defend the Catholic & Christian churches /charities but not the children who were their victims to be traumatized for life!
He who is without sin cast the firstnstone. Lots of saints present that evning..
Given that this happened the night after her now infamous SNL appearance in 1992 you have to ask yourself 1 question.
How many of those people booing her that night even had any idea WHY they were booing Sínead O'Connor as they were swept up in pack mentality & merely following the crowd.
But they did it anyway.
How many of them do you think boo'd her even though they weren't Catholic & couldn't care less about attending church every Sunday.
First of all, if everyone knew how many shows Bob Dylan was vehemently BOO'ed at in the 60s, when he 'went electric' and toured with The Band, Sinead would be truly PROUD of continuing in Dylan's fine tradition of being BOO'ed night after night, for months, by so-called FANS, and not really giving a shit.
Secondly, KUDOs to Mr Kris Kristofersson, who himself wouldn't give a damn about some over-excited and abusive audience, proof of which is his support of a fellow artist who he saw was in a tough spot and wasn't handling it well. I wish I could have heard the words of comfort and encouragement he whispered into her ear that night...
RIP Sinead, your struggles are over; and Kris, at 87 years old, keep on truckin' bro. You're still everyone's hero...
Kris passed away,today,so now,it's Sinead's chance to return the favour and welcome him into the beyond.
O'Conner and Kristofferson, the only ones there with heart and balls.
What I would have given to be drinking aand making music with Willie, Waylon, and Chris. She was a fortunate person to have friends likes these.
Gracias por compsrtir el legado de Sinead 'Coonor hecha por tierra a los falsos idolos de siempre.
She was strong on her own, but it was a nice gesture 👏
🥰
F Dylan
... hey, sorry to finish your speech there Gary (begging your pardon) "and definitely more people like Sinnead O'Connor, though that is hardly likely"
Hey Gary. Nice one with this. Ah man eh. Ah man. How you end this.. you’re probably right, eh.
She made a point on SNL that needed to be made! She was so far ahead of her time. Brilliant girl
I believe he said to her: don’t let the bastards get you down.
Every day millions of people die. One singer dies and the world stops.
She was not mental; she was damaged, and Chris was a superman !
