Last March, Sinéad O'Connor was due to receive the inaugural 'Classic Album' prize at the RTÉ Choice Music Awards for her 1990 record 'I Do Not Want What I Haven't Got'. Reporting on the event, I wasn't sure if Sinéad would be present to accept the accolade, as she had been rarely seen in public since the tragic death of her son Shane the previous year. However, towards the end of the night, as the name of her album was called out, her distinctive figure took to the stage.
