Sinead O'Connor: "I Felt Like I Was Living in a Coffin"

Speaking out about her 18-day marriage, Sinead O'Connor explains what went wrong between her and Barry Herridge.

The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer spoke with UK’s The Sun as she revealed that, in their short wedded state, “[our] marriage was kyboshed by the behavior of certain people in my husband's life."

“It felt like I was living in a coffin. It was going to be a coffin for both of us and I saw him crushed. The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man."

Going on to tell about their wedding night and how she went on a search for drugs, O’Connor dished, "We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous. I wasn't scared -- but he's a drugs counselor. What was I thinking? Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened -- that kind of messed everything up a bit really."

Declaring her ex a "wonderful man," Sinead believes Herridge was "too nice to [end the marriage himself]. And too nice to trap."
