The National Wax Museum in Dublin removes 'ugly' Sinead O'Connor figure

Dublin Wax Museum Removes ‘Hideous’ Sinead O’Connor Figure After Uproar. "A waxwork figure of singer Sinéad O'Connor wearing a black jumper and black coat just looked nothing like her," singer's brother says in radio interview after waxwork was revealed and quickly removed

According to news of Jessica Lawrence form BBC News; The National Wax Museum in Dublin is "committed" to creating a new wax figure of Irish singer Sinéad O'Connor after significant public backlash.
It comes after the museum unveiled a waxwork of the late singer and activist to coincide with the first anniversary of her death.
O'Connor was found dead at the age of 56 in her south London home last July.
The figure was first unveiled on Thursday as a tribute to the singer, but the museum has now said it will be removed in order to create "a more accurate representation".

Among those who criticised the original figure was O'Connor's brother, John.
He said he was shocked when he first saw the waxwork online and said it was "inappropriate".
"It looked nothing like her and I thought it was hideous," he told Irish broadcaster RTÉ's Liveline radio programme on Friday.
He added that the figure looked "between a mannequin and something out of the Thunderbirds".

The museum says it will remake the waxwork to create a more accurate representation

A statement from the museum said: "In response to the public's feedback regarding the wax figure, we acknowledge that the current representation did not meet our high standards or the expectations of Sinéad's devoted fans.
"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."
