In July last year, the sad news came of the death of Irish singer Sinead O'Connor. She was just 56 years old and is said to have died of natural causes.

To honor the late Nothing Compares 2 U singer, the Dublin Wax Museum created a wax statue of the artist. But it wasn't well received.

according to Watchman Many family members and fans reacted strongly to the wax doll's appearance, believing it “doesn't look like her at all.”

His brother John O'Connor was among those who were very unhappy. He claims to RTÉ Radio that he was completely unaware of this.

“When I saw the picture online, I was completely shocked. I thought it looked like something between a model and something from Thunderbirds,” he tells the radio station, adding:

“I think Sinead would have been very happy to look good, because she cared about that, and if this was a representation of her in her early 20s when she did ‘Nothing Compares 2 U’, it doesn’t look like her at all. I think that was scary.”

John then suggested that his sister should instead be honoured by having a statue of her placed in Dublin, and that it was too painful for him to talk about this.

“I lost my sister, which makes this very important to me. She has no one here to watch over her or talk to her so I took it upon myself to contact you about this.

After a series of reactions, the wax museum decided to remove the wax statue of the Irish singer, admitting that it “could do better,” according to Reuters. Watchman.
