Dublin Museum Withdraws Sinéad O'Connor Wax Figure

The National Wax Museum Plus in Dublin has removed a newly unveiled wax figure of Sinéad O'Connor after significant backlash from fans and family, including her brother John O'Connor, who described it as a 'hideous' representation. The figure was intended to honor the first anniversary of the late singer's death but drew immediate criticism for its lack of resemblance to O'Connor. John O'Connor expressed his shock, stating it resembled something between a mannequin and a character from the 1960s TV show 'Thunderbirds'. In response, the museum has apologized and committed to creating a more accurate likeness of the iconic singer, known for her 1990 hit 'Nothing Compares 2 U'. The museum's director confirmed the decision to remove the figure and expressed disappointment in the sculptor's work. O'Connor, who passed away on July 26, 2023, was a cherished figure in Ireland, and her family continues to seek a tribute that truly honors her legacy.
