Morrissey had harsh words for the tributes for Sinéad O’Connor after her death, writing, «You praise her now ONLY because it is too late.»
The always-outspoken British singer Morrissey had harsh words for the gushing tributes paid to Irish star Sinéad O’Connor after her death on Wednesday, writing on his blog, “You praise her now ONLY because it is too late.”
“There is a certain music industry hatred for singers who don’t ‘fit in’ (this I know only too well), and they are never praised until death – when, finally, they can’t answer back,” he wrote.
While O’Connor drew widespread backlash for calling out sexual abuse in the Catholic Church in 1992, the former Smiths frontman has been criticized in recent years for his support of far-right politics and his racist statements.
