Sinéad O'Connor instructed her kids on what to do if she died years before her sudden passing

Sinéad O'Connor's children had instructions to follow in case the Irish singer-songwriter ever suddenly passed away. O'Connor wanted to make sure her music and her finances were protected and had one request for her kids in the event that she died. "See, when the artists are dead, they're much more valuable than when they're alive," O'Connor told People magazine in 2021. "Tupac has released way more albums since he died than he ever did alive, so it's kind of gross what record companies do." "That's why I've always instructed my children since they were very small, 'If your mother drops dead tomorrow, before you called 911, call my accountant and make sure the record companies don't start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is.'" O'Connor spoke about these instructions while touching on Prince's music being released following his death. "All musicians, we have songs that we really are embarrassed about that are crap.

We don't want anyone hearing them," O'Connor told the outlet. "Now this is a man who released every song he ever recorded, so if he went to the trouble of building a vault, which is a pretty strong thing to do, that means he really did not want these songs released.

And I can't stand that people are, as I put it, raping the vault." O'Connor's death was announced July 26. "It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved Sinéad," the singer's family said in a statement reported Wednesday by the BBC and RTE. "Her family and friends are devastated and have requested privacy at this very difficult time." No cause of death has been revealed at this time.
