Dublin artist is remembered as a woman who ‘challenged’ and helped change Ireland
Actor Glenn Close paid tribute to the singer after O’Connor recorded a song for the film Albert Nobbs, in which Close played the lead.
“Living in London at the time, she had become friendly with friends of ours, resultantly they all visited together when we were having a kids party one sunny afternoon. Already an admirer by then, like the rest of the world I had fallen for the brilliance of her debut records,” he said. O’Connor was “so powerful, such an amazing performer” and was “always going to do something that amazing”, he said.“I think she’s just one in a million ... She did not want fame. She wanted to make music, and she wanted to make a space where people could feel, and she could feel, and communicate hurt and love, and all the things that songs can do for people. That was her goal. I think she used her fame to speak on behalf of those who are oppressed.
