When Sinéad O’Connor’s death at 56 was announced last night, filmmaker Kathryn Ferguson was preparing to go on BBC Radio 4’s culture programme Front Row to talk about Nothing Compares, her documentary about the Irish musician.
“I’m devastated to hear the desperate news about Sinéad. Our film for me was a love letter to Sinead, it was made over many years and made because of the impact she’d had on me,” the clearly shaken Ferguson told the programme. “She is one of the most radical, incredible musicians that we’ve had and we’re very, very lucky to have had her.”
