Oh, this is poor news indeed.
She had a tough life, and was routinely treated incredibly unkindly for daring to voice her opinions the truth.
RIP
Burning that picture of the pope was legendary, even without her incredible music she’d be remembered as an icon and iconoclast. Bless you.
She didn't burn it, she ripped it into pieces. She will definitely be remembered as an iconoclast but obviously hasn't held up to be that impactful, as people apparently don't even remember what she did.

Here's the clip to that iconic action.
So she died without ever getting an apology from Joe Pesci or the Catholic Church.
What terrible news. I always loved her voice.
Sad story, she was ahead of her time in many ways. I'm selfishly upset that I had to lose both her and Delores O'Riordan though.
I still get goosebumps from so many of her songs, wonderful artist as well as a troubled soul.
RIP
One of the most beautiful and powerful voices of all time. Very sad for her and her family.
Here is my favorite live performance by her:

Legends never die.
My favorite live performance from her...
Just watched this beautiful gentle interview with Tommy Tiernan. Was lovely to see her happy for a while. https://youtu.be/0G9YPvsG_c4
