On July 26, 2023, Sinead’s death was announced. Her family announced the news with a statement.
“It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad,” they said.
Her death came some 18 months after the death of her son, Shane.

Back in August 2023, Sinead’s funeral took place in Bray, County Wicklow, Ireland.
Sinead lived in Bray for 15 years before selling her home there in 2015.
Her funeral cortege travelled through Bray, Co Wicklow before a private ceremony and burial took place.
Fans cheered and clapped and threw flowers as the cortege passed. Crowds also sang one of her biggest hits, Nothing Compares 2 U. The hearse was also accompanied by a campervan playing Bob Marley’s track, Natural Mystic, as Sinead was a fan of his music. The campervan was also draped with LGBTQ+ and Rastafarian flags.
Celebrities were also in attendance, including Bob Geldof and U2 lead singer Bono.
