Sinéad O’Connor has backed down on her intention to retire, just days after her initial announcement.Over the weekend, the singer announced her retirement from music and touring in a series of tweets, confirming that her forthcoming album ‘No Veteran Dies Alone’, will be her last release.“This is not sad news.

It’s staggeringly beautiful news. A warrior knows when he or she should retreat. It’s been a forty year journey. Time to put the feet up and make other dreams come true,” O’Connor said on Saturday (June 5).Now, the artist has said she will not be retiring and that her initial announcement was a “knee jerk reaction” to some triggering interviews with UK and Canadian broadcasters, who she referred to as “pigs in lipstick”.
