Tributes have poured in from across the globe for Sinead O'Connor's son Shane, who was found dead two days after he was reported missing.
Dublin Live reports that eulogies have been posted on social media by the likes of Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan, Irish rockabilly star Imelda May and actor Alec Baldwin.
Shane, 17, was last seen in the Tallaght area in West Dublin on Friday and an appeal had been made by his mum and Irish police.
But in a tweet yesterday, Sinead wrote "My beautiful son, Nevi'im Nesta Ali Shane O'Connor, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God.
"May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example.
"My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace."
Shane was the third child of Sinead and the son of traditional Irish musician Donal Lunny.
Since the news was revealed social media has since been flooded with messages of support for the Nothing Compares 2 U singer and her family.
Pogues frontman Shane MacGowan, a lifelong friend of Sinead, posted a tribute online saying he was a "beautiful boy".
He wrote: "Sinead you have always been there for me and for so many people, in this world you have been a comfort and you have been a soul who is not afraid to feel the pain of the suffering and you have always tried to heal and help.
"I pray and Victoria prays that you can be comforted now and find strength and healing and peace in your own sorrow and loss, he was a beautiful boy and I loved him, and I pray he can be at peace and also be able to stay connected with you."
MacGowan's former bandmate Cait O'Riordan wrote: "I'm so sorry Sinead."
TV presenter Muireann O'Connell tweeted: "I am so terribly sorry for your tragic loss. My thoughts are with you and your family."
Actor Alec Baldwin tweeted:
