Mother’s plea to drop suicide lyrics for Dublin concert

A HEARTBROKEN mother who lost her daughter to suicide has pleaded with an American pop artist not to sing his hit song, which repeatedly mentions suicide, during his upcoming Dublin and Cork concerts.

Teresa Williams, from Cloughjordan, Co Tipperary, succeeded in persuading several Irish radio stations to remove Sean Kingston’s No 1 hit Beautiful Girls from their playlists last September.

Ms Williams said she would be happy if Sean Kingston sang the edited version that replaces “suicide” with “in denial” when he comes to Ireland later this month.
