The National Wax Museum say it will remake a waxwork of the late Irish singer after an unveiling.
A waxwork of the late Sinéad O'Connor in Dublin will be remade after the original came under criticism
The figure was first unveiled on Thursday as a tribute to her legacy and influence within music and Irish culture, but the museum has now said it will be removed in order to create "a more accurate representation".He said he was shocked when he first saw the waxwork online and said it was "inappropriate".
"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."The museum said O'Connor's impact on music is "immeasurable" and its goal was to honour the late singer in the "most fitting and respectful manner". It said the museum looks forward to unveiling a new figure that "truly honours" O'Connor and her "extraordinary impact".Sinéad Marie Bernadette O'Connor was born on 8 December 1966 in the affluent Glenageary suburb of Dublin.
