A
Message From Sinead O'Connor...
She has been a long time friend and inspiration to
all of us at ShowBiz Ireland and it is with
great regret that we can confirm that Sinead O'Connor
is to retire from the music biz...
Imagine
our shock when the phone rang last week only to have
Sinead O'Connor on the other end telling us to check
a personal posting on her Website's bulletin board
announcing her retirement from the music industry?
Sinead
O'Connor
The
talented singer simply said, "I am not giving
any press on this, everything I wanted to say is posted
on my Website."
And
here it is, a message from Sinead O'Connor:
Hello
Lovelies,
This
is a message from Sinead. This being a very special
anniversary for me, I have chosen it to announce that
as of July 2003 I shall be retiring from the music
business. In
order to pursue a different career.
The
last recordings I will make will be (believe it or
not) a track for Dolly Parton's upcoming tribute album
and a track for Sharon Shannon's forthcoming album.
These will be recorded in May.
In July I will be releasing a DVD of a live show and
documentary featuring tracks from way back along with
tracks from Sean Nos Nua. The DVD will be entitled
"Goodnight, thankyou. You've been a lovely audience."
And so ye have.
I
wish here to thank everyone who has been a fan and
or supporter of mine over the last twenty two years
in the music business (first record at 14, deal at
17. Half o first album wrote when 15).
As
well as all the people whom I have had the honour
of working with. Not least the great Dolly Parton
herself! Thanks to all of ye for a great time and
a great education.
I
would request that as of July, since I seek no longer
to be a "famous" person, and instead I wish to live
a "normal" life, could people please afford me my
privacy. By which I mean I would like not to have
exploitation of my self or my name or anyone connected
with me by newspapers.
I
also mean that (with love) I want to be like any other
person in the street and not have people say there
is Sinead O'Connor. As I am a very shy person, believe
it or not.
So
I ask with love, that I be left in peace and privacy
by people who love my records too. And I hope it doesn't
sound rude. It aint meant rude. I am glad that ye
are helped by my songs. So help me too, by giving
me what is best for me, a private life.
My
advise to anyone who ever admires a so called "celebrity"
if u see them in the street, don't even look at them.
If u love them, then the lovingest thing u can do
to show them so is leave them alone and don't stare
at them! Or bang on restaurant windows when they in
there. Or make them get their picture taken, or write
their names on bits of paper. That's pieces of them.
And one day they wake up with nothing left of themselves
to give.
Love,
peace, and don't 4get to pray y'all.
Sinead
P.S
This web site will exist until September. Then bye
bye.
Sinead
also wanted us to append more information to her message,
she said:
"I
forgot to mention in my posting that there will be
a Massive Attack single too sometime June or July.
Track called What your Soul Sings."
