The National Wax Museum in Dublin is "committed" to creating a new wax figure of Irish singer Sin?ad 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. 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 criticized 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". 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 Sin?ad's devoted fans."We have listened closely to the reactions and agree that the figure does not fully capture Sin?ad's unique presence and essence as we intended."
