A tribute to the late singer Sinead O’Connor has been unveiled in Bray Head in County Wicklow, Ireland . The Nothing Compares 2 U hitmaker will be buried in her former hometown tomorrow following her death last month.  Ahead of her funeral, 30ft-tall white letters which spell out ‘ÉIRE SINÉAD’ alongide a heart, have been placed on a hillside in the Irish seaside town. The Tenth Man’s executive creative director Richard Seabrooke, who was behind the tribute, said: ‘So much has been said about Sinead since her recent passing, I’m not sure what is left to say. “We just wanted to take the opportunity to mark the moment with a bold statement that symbolises what she meant to this little country of ours.’ A Sinead O’Connor tribute has been placed on a hillside in Bray, Ireland, ahead of her funeral (Image: THETENTHMAN) Small gatherings in memory of Sinead have been taking place around Ireland since her death was announced.  On Tuesday, fans of the star will be able to say their final goodbyes when the cortege passes the Bray seafront. The route begins at the Harbour Bar end of Strand Road and will continue along the seafront to the other end of Strand Road. From there, Sinead’s family will continue onto a private burial. The singer lived in Strand Road for 15 years, but was living in London at the time of her death.

After showing her living room and kitchen, she also revealed she had been working on new music using her Johnny Cash guitar. Sinead was initially due to perform gigs in 2022 but cancelled them due to the death of her son Shane. The 17-year-old was reported missing before he was found dead in January 2022.  One of the singer’s final tweets was a tribute to her late son 18 months on from the tragedy. She told fans she had been “living like an undead night creature” since he passed and gushed over their “unconditional” love.  The teenager was her second youngest of four children.
