Morrissey slams Sinead O’Connor tributes for being hypocritical
tributes have poured in — but The Smiths frontman and perennial provocateur Morrissey isn’t convinced by the sudden admiration.In a post titled “You Know I Couldn’t last” uploaded to his personal website yesterday, the English singer-songwriter paid tribute to O’Connor, who passed away yesterday at the age of 56.The title is a reference to one of Morrissey’s own songs, and the content of the message is as much a call-out as a tribute to the late Irish singer and activist.Morrissey took aim at the the industry and the public figures whom he claimed failed to offer O’Connor the support she needed and deserved while she was still alive, noting that “she was dropped by her label after selling seven million albums for them.”“There is a certain music industry hatred for singers who don’t ‘fit in,'” he wrote, referencing O’Connor’s controversial past, “and they are never praised until death — when, finally, they can’t answer back.”The post continued, “The cruel playpen of fame gushes with praise for Sinead today … with the usual moronic labels of ‘icon’ and ‘legend’ … You hadn’t the guts to support her when she was alive and she was looking for you.“She was a challenge, and she couldn’t be boxed-up, and she had the courage to speak when everyone else stayed safely silent. She was harassed simply for being herself.
