Sinéad O'Connor described Prince’s terrified staff, attempted assault and tin-foil covered windowsedit

I removed the paragraph about "...Sinéad O'Connor described Prince’s terrified staff, attempted assault and tin-foil covered windows...".[1] I checked the first source and it didn't say anything about Prince's terrified staff, attempted assault or tin-foil covered windows. I checked the second source and it's live interview with Sinéad O'Connor with no fact-checking. Without high-quality secondary sources confirming her allegations, I don't feel this belongs in this article. It seem more appropriate to O'Connor's article.

The last sentence in the Relationships section of the Personal life section says "filed for divorced," I could be wrong, but I believe that is a typo/grammatical error. I do not have permission to edit it myself. Ocr629 (talk) 04:22, 24 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
