A host of events are taking place around the country tomorrow and this weekend to remember The Nothing Compares 2 U hitmaker’s first anniversary who died on July 26, 2023, after being found unresponsive in her apartment in the UK.

The figure was created by wax artist PJ Heraghty – and will be his last after 40 years in the business.

Asked whether he was happy with how it turned out, he said: “I did the best I could.”

“So sorry Sinéad if you don’t like it, but hopefully you do.”

Whether you do or you dont think the new waxwork is a vibe, one thing is for sure, Sinead was a legend & her music will always be cherished.
