Sinead O'Connor has revealed that her desperation to score drugs on the night of her wedding to Barry Herridge was the first nail in the coffin of their 16-day marriage.

And speaking to The Sun, the 45-year-old singer has actually compared the brief union to "living in a coffin".

She said: "It felt like I was living in a coffin. It was going to be a coffin for both of us and I saw him crushed. The whole reason I ended it was out of respect and love for the man."

Doing nothing to dispel her dotty image, she also explained that she terrified her 38-year-old husband by taking him off in search of drugs on their wedding night in Las Vegas.

She said: "We ended up in a cab in some place that was quite dangerous. I wasn't scared — but he's a drugs counsellor. What was I thinking?

"Then I was handed a load of crack. Barry was very frightened — that kind of messed everything up a bit really."

Sinead insists that she was only trying to buy cannabis though.

And she now reckons she won't marry again, saying: "I don't think I will even date anyone."

That might be for the best, at least for a little while.
