LONDON (AP) — A Dublin museum has pulled a wax figure of Sinéad O’Connor from its collection after fans and family members complained that it did not compare to how the late singer looked. The National Wax Museum Plus apologized Friday to O’Connor’s family and said it would immediately begin creating a more accurate representation of the singer best known for “Nothing Compares 2 U.” John O’Connor said it was a “hideous” representation of his sister that looked like a cross between a mannequin and a 1960s sci-fi TV show that used electronic puppets. The museum had unveiled the figure in honor of the first anniversary of her death.
