Description

A significant collection of interviews with the defiant, controversial, and ground-breaking singer, songwriter, and activist throughout her turbulent career...

"It's not like I got up in the morning and said, 'Okay, now let's start a new controversy'." — Sinead O'Connor

Sinead O'Connor: The Last Interview features music that, both in her songwriting and in her beautiful voice, addressed emotional despair and incandescent joy with glorious ardour. However, she may have been just as well known for her outspokenness.

This collection of interviews spans the entire length of O'Connor's career, from the early days to her last interview. From giddy teenager to seasoned superstar, she speaks candidly about her meteoric rise to fame and recounts the moment she tore up a photo of Pope John Paul II on live television as a form of protest. Unguarded and unpredictable, O'Connor was a woman who electrified the globe — imaginative, opinionated, and eloquent.

Her 1990 album, I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got, was her biggest commercial success, selling over seven million copies worldwide.

Kristin Hersh is a musician's musician, a songwriter's songwriter, and an innovator's innovator. The Queen of Grunge's first band, Throwing Muses, began recording and playing out when they were just 14 years old. She has released more than 20 albums solo, with Throwing Muses, and with her noise rock band, 50 Foot Wave. Rolling Stone named her first book, Rat Girl, one of the ten best rock memoirs of all time. NPR said of her second book, Don't Suck, Don't Die, "Not only one of the best books of the year, but one of the most beautiful rock memoirs ever written." Her third, the game-changing Seeing Sideways, describes raising four sons on a tour bus. Hersh's book The Future of Songwriting was published by Melville House in 2024.
