Sinead O’Connor passed away in 2023

Sinead O’Connor left a special message for her children in her will following her untimely passing in July 2023.

The singer’s final wish for her children has been revealed in her will.

The singer, who was only 56 when she died, left her fortune to her children.

According to reports, the singer left €2 million to her children following her untimely death.

The money was left to her children Jake Reynolds, Brigidine Roisin Waters, and Yeshua Bonadio.

The Mirror reports that the singer told her children to “milk” her music for what it was worth.

The will read: “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 so as to ‘milk it for what it’s worth.”

“My children can dispense of my ashes as they see fit.”

O’Connor was found unresponsive at her London apartment in July 2023.

The singer died due to an “exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and bronchial asthma together with low grade lower respiratory tract infection.”

Before her death, Sinead O’Connor was left heartbroken after her son Shane died by suicide.

He was only 17 at the time of his death in 2022.

“Been living as undead night creature since. He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him,” she wrote at the time.

She is survived by her children Jake Reynolds, Brigidine Roisin Waters, and Yeshua Bonadio.
