Days after she was found unresponsive and pronounced dead on Wednesday at 56, her dear friend Sir Bob Geldof revealed the inner demons the Nothing Compares 2 U singer was struggling with, which he said were prevalent in their last text exchanges.
Sinead O'Connor and Bob Geldof were good friends.
Geldof addressed O'Connor's death while performing at the Cavan Calling festival in Ireland over the weekend. "She meant a lot to everybody, she meant a lot to us. Her voice represented her soul and spirit. And whenever we hear that, we will always be with a great woman," he told the crowd, according to Daily Mail.
The Great Song Of Indifference singer said that O'Connor "was full of a terrible loneliness and a terrible despair" until her final day.
"She was a very good friend of mine. We were talking right up to a couple of weeks ago," Geldof stated. "Some of her texts were laden with desperation and despair and sorrow and some were ecstatically happy. She was like that."
