Sinéad's Autobiography: "Rememberings" (2021) mentions Mike Joyce and Andy Rourke joining her band (1987) and subsequently mentions living with Matt Walker and family during her well documented 'breakdown' (2016):
"Matt Walker is Morrissey’s drummer. His wife is Charlotte. And they are the people I owe my life to because if not for them having me live with them and if not for Charlotte bringing me to the doctor and the therapy appointments and staying around with me, I wouldn’t be here tonight writing."
Sinéad is mentioned once in Morrissey’s Autobiography, where Morrissey writes:
"I have just been to see eminent Irish psychiatrist Dr Anthony Clare in his drab consulting room. ‘Remember, he’s only a man,’ Sinead O’Connor had cautioned me before I had entered his sunless bastille. He is indeed only a man, and not a very interesting one at that. He disapproves of everything I say without a speck of tender perception."
Covered The Hand That Rocks The Cradle live in 1988 (7 times according to setlist.fm).
