I remember watching live, when she ripped up the picture of the Pope, on SNL.
Same here. That was back when SNL was actually funny and I watched it regularly. At the time I had zero clue what a controversial firestorm that incident was going to turn into.

It doesn't say it in the above link but I saw it posted on a news page she lost her battle with mental illness which is usually a euphemism for suicide

She was a very troubled person.
Good people sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf.
Someday your life will flash in front of your eyes. Make sure it is worth watching.

Well, that song was also recorded by Chris Cornell and he hung himself, Prince OD'd (I'm assuming accidentally) I wouldn't touch that song as an Artist with a ten foot Boom Mic.

Yeah, the coincidence is rather creepy for sure. I still think about the passing of Prince from time to time. We lost a massive talent.

Yikes. Good observation. I personally like Chris Cornell's version the best. Mental health and addiction affects all, celebrities included.

She recorded the "Outlander" theme song for season 7, and ruined it IMO. The original was soft and melodious, her version harsh and halting.
I am sorry she had a troubled life and passed so young.

A magnificent voice ...one of the best in modern times ...........but a supporter of the IRA and Palestinian terrorists and many other repugnant things. I could not listen to her without thinking of what she stood for . I feel exactly the same way about Roger Waters.
