Sinéad O’Connor explains why she ripped up photo of the pope on ‘SNL’
NY Post
After years of speculation, Irish musician Sinéad O’Connor has revealed her rationale behind her infamous “Saturday Night Live” appearance in which she destroyed a photo of the pope. The “Trouble of the World” singer dropped the bombshell in her new memoir, “Rememberings,” which was excerpted this week by Rolling Stone.
The event occurred in October 1992, when the “Success Has Made a Failure of Our Home” singer shredded a pic of Pope John Paul II onstage while performing on “SNL.” The stunt got the Grammy winner exiled from NBC for life and also booed offstage at a Bob Dylan tribute concert a few weeks later, Rolling Stone reported. At the time, O’Connor, now 54, said she had torn up the photo to protest sexual abuse of children by the Catholic church. However, she recently revealed that the story goes much deeper.
