Sinéad O’Connor’s Last Song To Be Released – Her Rendition Of ‘Outlander’ Theme Song

On Tuesday, as the funeral car drove past her old residence in Bray, Country Wicklow, hundreds gathered in the streets of Ireland to bid an emotional goodbye to the late Irish singer Sinéad O’Connor.

Covered in pink, white and blue flowers, the singer’s coffin lay in the cortege that also displayed a picture of hers through the back window. Her music played from a van draped in pride flags. Amidst cheers, claps and a shower of flowers, the public funeral procession saw fans mourn the death of their beloved singer.

Now, the late singer’s final song is set to be released – her rendition of the time-travel series Outlander‘s theme song, “The Skye Boat Song.” The song was updated for each season and the producers asked O’Connor to create her own version. O’Connor said that she really related to the lead character, Clare, who traveled back in time to 18th-century Scotland.

Known for her powerful political stances on LGBTQ issues, the Free Palestine movement and more, and her soulful singing, O’Connor’s pre-mature death at only 56 left a massive hole in the hearts of fans.

The private burial was attended by singers like Bob Geldof, and Bono from U2, as well as the Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar, Irish President Micael D. Higgins and his wife Sabrina.
