Sinead O’Connor’s final wish revealed
Almost two years after the Sinead O'Connor's tragic death, the legacy she left behind for her children has been revealed.
According to Irish probate records obtained by The Sun, O'Connor left her £1.7 million (AUD 3.38 million) estate to her three surviving children, with ex-husband John Reynolds named executor of her estate.
After debts, legal fees, and funeral costs, the estate was reduced to £1.4 million (AUD 2.78 million).
The document also contained specific instructions for her children to ensure they get their money's worth out of any unreleased music that she has recorded.
“I direct that after my death, and at the discretion of any of my children who are then over 18, my albums are to be released to ‘milk it for what it’s worth’,” she wrote.
Signed in 2013 ahead of her conversion to Islam in 2018, the document also outlined her burial requests, where she noted her children may “dispense my ashes as they see fit” and to be buried in priest's robes with a copy of the Hebrew bible and her album, Theology.
The singer's youngest son Yeshua was given her collection of guitars.
O’Connor passed away in July 2023 at the age of 56, after she was found unresponsive at her London home by first responders.
Her cause of death was later confirmed to be chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, after a a copy of her death certificate was obtained by the Irish Independent newspaper.
