As the world attempts to come to terms with Sinéad O’Connor’s tragic passing, we’re also learning a bit more about this remarkable woman. The latest comes from a UK man telling a personal story about the singer that he holds very near and dear to his heart.
As we all know by now, the iconic Irish songstress/activist sadly died at just 56 years old last week. While the circumstances surrounding her death are still being investigated, fans across the globe have come together to grieve. Fellow singers Pink and Brandi Carlile even sang a beautiful rendition of Nothing Compares 2 U, the Prince song that shot Sinéad to superstardom in the early ’90s.

In a letter penned to The Telegraph over the weekend, Philip Woolcock of Preston, Lancashire revealed a truly incredible story of how Sinéad gave his terminally ill daughter “the best week of her short life” in the early ‘90s.
He began the letter sharing that he was “greatly saddened” by the news of Sinéad’s death, but noted that she was “a very different person behind her fame.”
You see, over 30 years ago, Philip’s late daughter, Louise, “a great admirer” of Sinéad, faced terminal cancer at just 20 years old. Somehow, the musician heard about her story, and made it her mission to bring some light into the poor young woman’s life. The father continued:
Wow. This was at the peak of Sinéad’s fame, too! Philip went on:
What an amazing story. But there’s more:
Absolutely beautiful.
