Absolutely! The headline is very sensationalist and misleading. She was banned from performing at certain venues in America since the early 90s for holding views about the Catholic Church that have since been absolutely proven to be appropriate. Her career success is definitely not measured by how much money she has made in the states. She’s continued to put out some amazing music here in Ireland and around the world and her music has always been successful: creatively, financially, culturally etc. I’m obviously a fan 😂

[@notallwhowanderarelost7577]

Absolutely. It is horrible. I am so sorry you ladies went thru that and that your doctors didnt properly educate you beforehand and care for you properly medically. I had a hysterectomy at 44 (due to uterine fibroids, endometriosis, and heavy bleeding from both) before I was going thru any symptoms of menopause and thankfully my gynecologist is wonderful and educated me thoroughly. I decided to keep my ovaries and he only took my cervix, uterus and tubes. So I was not thrown into abrupt and complete menopause. I will go thru it naturally since I kept my ovaries. I truly believe a lot of what Sinead went thru was from the hysterectomy plus from her horrible past of abuse. I'm so happy she has found some peace and is on the right path now.

Sinead is an angel. She’s affected many people through many emotional life moments, educated us on forgotten history and the context for how remembering is so important, she has educated many about mental health and our love of her has shown us how important mental health is and that we shouldn’t fear it by placing her humanity on it, she’s shown us betrayal, anger, love, forgiveness, thankfulness, and given us such an incredible catalog that will be around forever for others to continue what she has started. She’s shown us everything that makes us human. She’s not unlike an angel sent with a purpose. She is a treasure beyond compare for Ireland. Her renditions of Irish folk songs has reintroduced new generations the beauty of the irish people’s struggle, perseverance, and transformation-something that brings pride to many who may never of pondered the Irish story. She’s earned her wings and the recent death of her son which no mother should ever go through-will only make her stronger and perhaps she will find the strength with the thousands of mothers who have experienced such loss. I believe she will continue on the path she’s been on - showing the world what being human really means. I know I’ve probably failed expressing what I want to say - it’s very hard to parse it to text. So if I fumbled saying it here - well I too am a flawed being and a very bad writer! In a way I believe life definitely has a purpose. A purpose unique to everyone and some people may have been given an unfair portion… perhaps that portion is given by our ability to handle what we’ve been dealt however much or little. Sinead has proven she’s both strong and vulnerable. I believe Sinead’s was sent here for a purpose. And this life of hers is for her soul to transcend to something much greater after. Thank you Sinead for everything. You really have done so much - you are loved and your son will surely be there to greet you soon. You will be together again. Please don’t do anything rash. Be there for your children - all of them.

Took almost 30 years, but she's been vindicated over the Catholic Church. I can't say I was ever a huge fan of hers, but I am glad she's doing better, doing shows and touring.

She put her mark on pop culture. Who can not enjoy Nothing compares to you 30 years after its released? So huge rendition that sometimes it's unfair because she has many others songs to show.

Endometriosis is a horrible, painful condition. Often misdiagnosed. And that's how it wrecks havoc.

[@wandmayeslupik6302]

Stacy M. I'm s nurse now, but when I was little Grandma was always weeping in the house in the wee hours of night......depressed....the most horrible sound I ever heard,...then years later I understood it was the side effect of having had a complete radical hysterectomy, , because of caner from smoking!!!!! she never got hormone replacement s, which we never trusted anyway....but hormones are sooooo powerful, when there's too much, or not enough,. women have it very tough.

[@multiverseoftimelessness4391]

Love her voice, her lyrics, her talent. She's one of the greatest pop singers.

[@RocksWA]

Sinead, I've been a fan for 30 years, I've seen you live and there is no other voice on this earth that moves me like yours does. You are incredible!

[@createallow3126]

Chronic endometriosis that lead to a full hysterectomy that lead to early menopause. Menopause that went untreated. That's a big deal. People should be aware of that when talking about her and her mental health. The health of the body is a huge part of the filter in which we experience life. Her vulnerability has always been a part of her brilliance. I hope her remaining years are a solid upward trajectory. She's a precious artist.

[@graysonwalker]

She was nuts before the hysterectomy though...plus, women have them everyday & don't go insane...she just can't stand the label of mentally ill, so will say it's anything but that ...

[@adamtzsch]

I saw her live 6-7 years ago in Luxembourg. She was fantastic and always has been.

[@pfv1247]

She experienced almost the entire range of human feelings and with depth! I think she was extremely successful as a human being. On the other hand, I know of a woman who have had a calm and kush life who gets off of getting mentions in marathons. I'd say Sinead lived the full human experience. I am so proud of her. May she always be in the light. Peace be with Sinead always.

[@OpheliaDarkling]

Hope she's doing okay through this terrible time and she returns to touring once it tapers off. Her fantastic voice needs to be heard for years to come and give hope to the troubled. Be well, Sinead and all!

I just saw the documentary and boy..was l shocked about what l didn't know. Her courage is overwhelming. Whatever your politics, you have to give her that. She was attacked for pointing out what we all now know.

[@washyourface6851]

She is an honest artist and always has been. Refusing to be made into something she wasn’t, to sell herself like all the others, has obviously been a fight for her. Her voice now is just as beautiful as it was in the beginning. Before, it was young and raw, full of angst. Now there is more depth in her voice, it’s thicker, like a wound that has had to heal over and over. It moves me more than it did in the beginning. It’s a different kind of beautiful, now. The fact that she is still on this earth is a testament to her unbreakable spirit.
