Meanwhile, Screening vocalist Billy Corgan via his Instagram also shared a photo of the Irish singer.
"I know Sinead a little, after meeting him on his show and then when he lived at Walker's house outside Chicago," Billy said in the caption.
"Very honest, sweet, and funny, he is talented in a way that I'm not sure he fully understands. But Sinead stands alone as a figure of our generation who has always been loyal to the stabbing voice from within and outside. And for that I will always admire and respect him. And never forget that he was ever canceled because of a simple resistance act. His crime? Torn the photo, "he continued.
Then, there was also the Ice-T rapper who tweeted to pay his respects: "Regarding Sinead... He stands for something... Unlike most people... Rest in peace.."
