Sinéad O'Connor's Final Texts to Bob Geldof: A Mix of Despair and Sorrow

Bob Geldof, a longtime friend of Sinéad O'Connor, revealed that their final text exchange was filled with despair and sorrow. O'Connor, who battled bipolar disorder, died at the age of 56, and the cause of death is yet to be announced. Her 17-year-old son died by suicide earlier this year, and O'Connor had expressed her grief on social media. Geldof spoke about their friendship and the texts at a festival, describing O'Connor as both desperate and ecstatically happy. O'Connor had a troubled past, allegedly suffering abuse from her mother. Geldof compared her to Maud Gonne, a revolutionary woman and artist, and praised her for her unique voice and activism.
