Updated on Nov. 3, 2026 in Asthma
Róisín O'Connor has confirmed that new songs by her late mother, Sinéad O'Connor, are being planned for release. The family is working with Chrysalis Records on the releases, and the company Deep Dana will manage O'Connor's Instagram account.
Why it matters
The announcement signals that the family remains directly involved in shaping how O'Connor's catalogue and public presence are handled after her death. It also shows posthumous music releases being coordinated through a label partnership and a family-run management arrangement.
The only hard figures available are that O'Connor died in July 2023 at age fifty-six. The planned releases have no confirmed number of songs, formats or dates, so their scale and timing remain unknown.
The players
Sinéad O'Connor
Irish singer-songwriter known for her 1990 hit version of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U, who died in July 2023 at age fifty-six.
Chrysalis Records
British record label that is working with the O'Connor family on the planned releases of her music.
The details
Róisín O'Connor posted an update on her mother's social media confirming that new material is being prepared. The family is working with Chrysalis Records on the releases, and the company Deep Dana will take over management of O'Connor's Instagram with the family's full knowledge and consent.
Timeline
July 2023: Sinéad O'Connor died at age fifty-six.
November 3, 2026: The family announced the planned posthumous releases and the Instagram management change.
The planned releases are expected soon, with no specific date given.
Big Picture
Posthumous releases coordinated by family members and labels have become a regular way for catalogues of deceased artists to remain commercially active. This announcement follows that pattern, with the family directly managing both the music and the artist's social media presence.
Readers following O'Connor's music can expect new material to be announced through her official channels once the releases are finalised. The coroner's finding that chronic lung conditions contributed to her death is a reminder that respiratory illness can be serious and should be managed with medical care.
The takeaway
Family-managed legacy projects can keep an artist's work in circulation, but the public should watch for official announcements through confirmed channels. Anyone with asthma or chronic lung symptoms should follow their clinician's guidance on management.
What happens next
The family has said the releases will be announced soon, and the timing of that announcement will determine when the first new material reaches audiences.
