They released a statement that read: “It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinead.
“Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time.”
Her final TV appearance was on a US chat show where she was interviewed by host Carson Daly.
It was insinuated by the presenter that she could be the “first cancelled” person.
Sinead replied: “That’s a good question, I never thought of that.”
The star’s final social media post was also telling, as she spoke about the tragic death of her 17-year-old son Shane.
She posted a photo of her son who passed away from suicide in 2022.
She wrote: “Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul.”
Last year, the singer announced her son’s tragic passing on social media with an emotional post.
Sinead penned: “My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God.
“May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace.”
Before Shane’s death was confirmed, he was branded ‘missing’ and Sinead used her platform to urge people to help find him.

She made a public appeal to her son and stated: “Shane, your life is precious. God didn’t chisel that beautiful smile on your beautiful face for nothing.
“My world would collapse without you. You are my heart. Please don’t stop it from beating. Please don’t harm yourself.
“Go to the Gardai and let’s get you to hospital. This is a message for my son, Shane.
“Shane, it’s not funny anymore all this going missing. You are scaring the crap out of me.
“Could you please do the right thing and present yourself at a Gardai station. If you are with Shane please call the Gardai for his safety.”
Sinead was a mother to four children and left behind three other kids.
