National Wax Museum announce Sinéad O'Connor wax figure

The National Wax Museum Plus has decided to install a waxwork in honour of the late singer Sinéad O'Connor.

O'Connor passed away in a late near Brixton last year on July 26, with a London coroner later ruling that her death was due to "natural causes".

The launch ceremony to unveil the statue will take place tomorrow, almost one year after the artist's death.

Tomorrow's ceremony will feature a speech from close friend of Sinead’s and owner of the museum, Paddy Dunning, and the unveiling of the wax figure which will include a special dedication to marking the one year anniversary of Sinead’s passing.

It's not the first time Museum Director Paddy Dunning has paid tribute to the artist, as he introduced a digital bust at the nearby The Giant Experience.

O’Connor’s death last summer led to an outpouring of grief and tributes in Ireland and across the world.

The day after she died, hundreds of people attended an event at the London Irish Centre in Camden, where harpist Lisa Canny delivered tributes.

Thousands of people later turned out to pay tributes to her coffin on the streets of Bray, Co Wicklow, where she had lived for many years, on the day of her funeral in early August. She was later buried in a private Islamic ceremony.

Hot Press also paid tribute to the iconic Irish artist with a special issue – featuring contributions from Bob Geldof, The Edge, Hozier, Denise Chaila, BP Fallon, Moya Brennan, John Reynolds and more.
