“An artist’s job is sometimes to create the difficult conversations that need to be had,” Sinead O'Connor explains.
“I had come across an article about families who had been trying to lodge complaints against the church for sexual abuse, and they were being silenced. Basically everything I had been raised to believe was a lie,” the 55-year-old singer explained of her thought process for the performance.as a musical guest, and made a few unique choices for her performance.
Someone who had worked with O’Connor at the time of the performance provided additional context in the trailer. “I had worked around… She blows the candle out, she goes offstage. I had gone into the dressing room after her and I said, ‘I can’t get you out of this.’ And she said, ‘You know what? I don’t want you to.'” A younger O’Connor said, “I acted at the time in the way that I felt would be most true to myself.
