Caitríona Balfe, Michael Stipe and more pay tribute to Sinéad O’Connor

On Wednesday, as the news of Sinéad O’Connor’s death broke, many celebrities took to social media to pay tribute to the music icon.

As reported by Irish broadcaster RTE earlier in the day, O’Connor’s death was confirmed by a family statement. No cause of death was immediately available.

“I hope you are at peace,” actor Caitríona Balfe wrote on her Instagram page, adding “and with your baby boy. Thank you for sharing your soul with us and soothing us with your incredible voice beautiful Sinéad.”

O’Connor contributed her vocals to the opening credits of Season 7 of acclaimed series “Outlander,” in which Balfe stars. The actor’s mention of O’Connor’s “baby boy” was in reference to the singer’s son Shane, who died by suicide at age 17 in 2022.

Michael Stipe, famed REM singer-songwriter, simply wrote on Instagram aongside a photo of him with O’Connor that “there are no words.” Stipe has spoken about how much he was influenced by O’Connor, telling the Washington Post in a 2020 interview that “so many people have lifted from her, from me to Miley Cyrus. She’s one of our great, living icons.”

Belinda Carlisle, lead vocalist of the all-girls 80s rock band The Go-Gos, wrote “may she find peace now. Forever loved,” on her Twitter page on Wednesday, while singer-songwriter Melissa Etheridge wrote on her page that news of O’Connor’s death “is such a tragedy.”

“What a loss. She was haunted all her life. What a talent,” Etheridge continued. “I remember my first Grammy show meeting this small shy Irish girl.”

The Cranberries – who lost their lead singer, the Irishwoman Dolores O’Riordan, in 2018 – shared a tribute on their official Instagram account, writing that they “are shocked and saddened to hear of Sinead’s sudden passing. We have all been big fans for many years. Our thoughts are with her family.”

Shirley Manson, lead singer of Garbage, posted in honor of O’Connor to the band’s Instagram page, writing, “I’m heartbroken.”

“This disgusting world broke her and kept on breaking her. Godspeed dear fragile dove,” the post continued. “Thank you for all the beauty and all the wise teachings you offered up to us. I wish you nothing but peace and I will love you for all of time.”

O’Connor’s contemporary Annie Lennox shared a poem in the late singer’s memory on her Instagram, beginning it with, “You bared your soul… | Shared your brilliance | Through exquisite artistry”.

Oscar-winner Jamie Lee Curtis penned a lengthy tribute to O’Connor on her Instagram page, saying, “I once heard Sìnead (sic) sing acapella in an empty chapel in Ireland. It was under construction at the private home of our host. It was one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard in my life.”

“I loved her. Her music. Her life,” Curtis added, going on to reminisce about the time she spent with O’Connor at a music festival.

“Sixth Sense” actor Toni Collette also shared a personal memory with O’Connor, writing on Instagram, “I was lucky enough to hang out with her a few times in my twenties. On one occasion we all sang in the hills of Wicklow in Eire. I sang a Jane Siberry song and Sinead then asked/encouraged me to sing one of my own. Can you imagine the terror? The intimidation? The thrill?!”

“She was so talented, so generous, humble, resilient, courageous and true,” Collette continued. “What a voice. What a force. My heart breaks.”

Beyond those in the arts, O’Connor’s impact was felt in her home country of Ireland.

“What Ireland has lost at such a relatively young age is one of our greatest and most gifted composers, songwriters and performers of recent decades, one who had a unique talent and extraordinary connection with her audience, all of whom held such love and warmth for her,” Irish president Michael D. Higgins said in a statement sent to CNN.

“May her spirit find the peace she sought in so many different ways,” his statement concluded.

Remember… you bared your soul… shared your brilliance through exquisite artistry. — Annie Lennox

National Refreshment Day

National Refreshment Day takes place on the fourth Thursday in July and will be celebrated on July 27 this year. The day draws our attention to the much-needed destressing activities we need to do for peace of mind and a healthy body. The 21st-century life, with all the technology and daily grind, leaves many of us feeling drained and exhausted to the point that even lifting a finger seems like the biggest chore. Moreover, the summer heat has got us all feeling lethargic, and just wanting the cool embrace of air-conditioning. However, apart from air-conditioning, you can also cool down and refresh yourself by indulging in refreshing drinks. For that reason, this holiday was made as a way to promote summer drinks, like beer or lemonade. Once you refresh yourself, you can be more productive and better able to carry out your day’s activities.

History of National Refreshment Day

National Refreshment Day was first commemorated in 2015 by Traveler Beers. The U.S.-based company was established in 2012. The founders wanted to integrate European shandy flavors with American ones in order to bring a refreshing touch and look to the beer scene in America. The Traveler Beer Company, located in Burlington, has a range of popular beer selections. One of their most sought-after products is the Grapefruit Shandy, and it is described as having grapefruit’s refreshing flavor paired with a citrusy and tangy aroma. Beer, on its own, is a drink that has been served as a refreshment for over 10,000 years now. Commercialization of the drink has also led to people having easy and ready access to it. But if you are not a big fan of beer, don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with other refreshing activities.

The word ‘refreshment’ came from Late Middle English, and it was spelled with a double ‘s’. Middle English actually borrowed the word from Old French where it was spelled ‘refreschement’. No matter the spelling, the meaning of the word has stayed the same throughout history, and it refers to a feeling of rejuvenation and comfort after a particularly stressful time. One of the aims of the day is to highlight the importance of finding the time to relax for some time every day. Our days are filled with information dumps related to social media, calls, emails, and meetings. Not to mention the ton of responsibilities we have at home and in our family life. In all this hubbub, we need to take a breather, and this could be going for a stroll, listening to a song, eating/drinking, or just putting our head down and being silent. Whatever you choose to do, be sure to not feel guilty about it. Research shows that people who indulge in refreshments are healthier and more productive than those who don’t. So use this excuse to take time out for your well-being.

National Refreshment Day Activities

Have a refreshing lemonade

Color and unwind

Do whatever relaxes you

National Refreshment Day is celebrated on the last Thursday of every July, so take this opportunity to have some lemonade or another refreshing drink. Lemonades can be had in a variety of ways. You can have them cold and minty, or cold and fruity, or cold and simple — either way, lemonades are the epitome of freshness.

Why We Love National Refreshment Day

It’s a celebration of relaxation

It’s a celebration of refreshment

It’s a celebration of humanity

Relaxation, in today’s day and age, is an underrated activity. Many are obsessed with running after the next big thing in their lives, so much so that they don’t stop to smell the roses. Relaxation is a break for the mind and the body to recharge.

The Traveler Beer Company started the day as a way of promoting its refreshing products. While a beer from the company will certainly be refreshing, there’s a dearth of other refreshing activities that you can choose to indulge in. These activities, such as the ones we outlined above, can help you learn more about yourself.

Unlike machines, humans are not built to run endlessly. We must take a break to relax and recharge as that will enable us to become more productive in our tasks. Such moments of relaxation also help us reconnect with ourselves as well as our loved ones.
