Stupid clickbait title. Here, saved you a click:

O'Connor told them they should call her accountant before they call 911.

"See, when the artists are dead, they're much more valuable than when they're alive. Tupac has released way more albums since he died than he ever did alive, so it's kind of gross what record companies do," she told PEOPLE at the time.

O'Connor continued, "That's why I've always instructed my children since they were very small, 'If your mother drops dead tomorrow, before you called 911, call my accountant and make sure the record companies don't start releasing my records and not telling you where the money is.'"

Sadly she was probably right.

Also this is literally celebrity gossip, which is against the community guidelines.

Since the article is based around an interview that Sinead has with People magazine and gives quotes that she gave in said interview, I would disagree that it qualifies as gossip.

Gossip would be, “supposedly Jolie and Pitt are back together after they were spotted talking outside of a court house”. That would be gossip.

If the mods or admin want to say I’m wrong I am willing to delete the post. I just don’t see this as gossip.
