The late Sinéad O'Connor was finishing a new album, reviewing tour dates for next year and was also considering "opportunities" around a film of her acclaimed memoir Rememberings, a message from her management company has said.
"Wonderful plans were afoot at this time," it said of the Grammy-winning singer and songwriter who was found unresponsive by police at a home in south London on Wednesday.
The death of the star at the age of 56 is not being treated as suspicious and was confirmed by her family in a statement given to the media.

Music management company 67 Management said in a note on its website that it wanted to send "love, our thoughts, our prayers" to O'Connor's family.
The company also thanked the singer's fans "who have prevailed in their support and kindness throughout".
The message added: "As tribute to those who were part of Sinead's team over our tenure it has to be mentioned that Sinead was completing her new album, reviewing new tour dates for 2024 and considering opportunities in relation to a movie of her book.
"Wonderful plans were afoot at this time. Testament and tribute to those who have put their hearts first for Sinead, to whom we are forever grateful."

The message, from Kenneth and Carl Papenfus, ended by saying: "It has been an honour to have worked with Sinead professionally, as musicians, producers and her artist managers over the last nine years, but much, much more than that Sinead was family.
"May she rest in peace."
London Inner South Coroner's Court said on Thursday that no medical cause was given in O'Connor's death and that an autopsy will be conducted.
The result may not be available for several weeks, a statement on the court website said.
