Kris Kristofferson remembered for his support of Sinead O'Connor after her 1992 Saturday Night Live scandal... following his death at 88
Kristofferson showed support for O'Connor - who died at the age of 56 in July of 2023 - at an October 1992 concert in New York City as she faced a career crisis.
Amid the profuse public backlash against the Irish singer, the next week's SNL host, Goodfellas star Joe Pesci, addressed the controversy and was cheered for his criticism of O'Connor in his commentary on the October 10, 1992 edition. His musical career began in the late 1960s, as the Brownsville, Texas native wrote such classics standards as Sunday Mornin' Comin' Down, Help Me Make it Through the Night, For the Good Times and Me and Bobby McGee.

Hall.
