National Wax Museum Announce They Are Pulling Sineád O’Connor Figure

The National Wax Museum have revealed that they are pulling their wax figure of Sinéad O’Connor.

This original wax figure of the late singer was unveiled yesterday, coinciding with the first anniversary of her death last July. She was found unresponsive at her home in London, aged 56.

The National Wax Museum have confirmed that they now plan to launch a new project to “create a more accurate representation” of the late singer.

“Can do better”

Speaking about pulling the original figure of Sinéad O’Connor, museum director Paddy Dunning met the museum team this morning, before deciding that they “can do better”. Dunning was also a long-time close friend of the 'Nothing Comares 2 U' singer,

Responding to the public's feedback, a statement has been released saying that they “acknowledge that the current representation did not meet our high standards or the expectations of Sinead’s devoted fans”.

They also added: “We have listened closely to the reactions and agree that the figure does not fully capture Sinéad’s unique presence and essence as we intended”. 

“fitting and respectful”

Elsewhere, the museum also said that their goal is to honour O’Connor in the “most fitting and respectful manner”.

They also stated: “We deeply appreciate the public’s love for Sinéad and share in their admiration for her remarkable career and contributions”. 

It also said that they have made a commitment to creating a new figure which better reflects her “true spirit and iconic image, with the project to begin immediately”. 

“We extend our gratitude to everyone who provided their feedback and assure you that your voices are heard. We look forward to unveiling a new figure that truly honours Sinead O’Connor and her extraordinary impact”.
