MORE LIVE II

There is a picture of Sinead with lots of hair and wearing eye glasses. Her hair appears to be shoulder lenghth.

Then it reads: Her fans might not recognize her, but Sinead O'Connor went to Paris last week to get hair extensions. The notoriously bald soprano is now sporting waist-length tresses for her video being shot in London with Kris Kristofferson. Apparently even O'Connor realized that bald women and country videos don't jibe. O'Connor has been out of the public eye for some time babying her second child.
