A source said: “Sinead felt very uncomfortable. She had started a new life in London but this person was making her feel on edge.
“Sinead confided in people and said she’d had gifts she believed to be from this person. It was upsetting.”
The Nothing Compares 2 U star tweeted on July 12: “There is one stalker. Female. Violent: again, NEVER engage with anyone claiming they know me without asking my management.”
One man, Paul Devine wrote back to Sinead: “Yes, I was contacted by someone purporting to be you.

“Didn’t sound like you, was looking for an email address so I could join a VIP group to get tickets.”
Three days later Sinead warned fans about a man she believed to be targeting her followers.
She tweeted: “Also a warning, previously an extremely disturbed male sexual predator pretended to be me on Twitter.
“Please never engage with anyone claiming to be any celeb, without confirming they are who they say. This can be achieved by contact with their management.”
Sinead, 56, was found dead at her South London home on Wednesday.
She had lost son Shane, 17, to suicide last year.
A source said she had an album in the works and had provisionally called it The Healing Stone.
They said: “Sinead felt she was a surviving rock. She wanted to inspire people with the idea they could be the same things — strong and rooted to the earth, and survivors, just like her.”
