[time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Calling into RTÉ Radio’s Liveline on Friday, John said he “didn’t think it looked like her [Sinéad] at all.” Elaborating further during his conversation with radio host Joe Duffy, the singer’s brother continued: “I was shocked, I thought it looked [like] something between a mannequin and something out of the Thunderbirds.
