Flea (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
“Sinead. Man, it’s a sad and beautiful world. She was the best. For us all us street kids, all us wildlings, when she became huge, it felt like one of us had made it. I am not trying to compare myself or anyone else to her, she was one of a kind.”
“But thats what it felt like to me. Like she was one of us. She was like Billie Holiday to me. All her pain, all her beauty, those incredible songs. bless her heart”.
Michael Stipe (R.E.M.)
“From Michael- ‘There are no words’.”
Bryan Adams

This is soooo sad. Sinéad O’Connor, you will be missed. We will always love and remember you. Godspeed. I had the honor to sing ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’ a couple of years back on Sky TV. I will always carry this and the memory of this great artist in my heart.”
