Shared on June 7 2016, O’Connor’s last Instagram post was a black-and-white picture of herself smiling.
In the heartbreaking snap, the singer is dressed simply in a black t-shirt against a plain background.
The post’s caption read: “Love the life you have and be grateful for what you are.”
The star’s fourth child, 17-year-old Shane O’Connor, passed away in January last year after he went missing from Tallaght Hospital following years of struggling with mental health issues.
Sinéad was born in Glenageary, County Dublin on December 8, 1966, and was one of five children raised Roman Catholic.
Her troubled teenage years, involving shoplifting and truancy, saw her placed in the Magdalene asylums for 18 months.
There she began to discover her love of singing and in 1984 she met Colm Farrelly, with whom she formed a band called Ton Ton Macoute.
