Fans of her work were quick to pay tribute to her, with Irish singer-songwriter Roisin Murphy calling her “brilliant” and “one of the most beautiful souls.”

Murphy expressed her admiration for Moore in an Instagram post: “One of the best in music, an amazing person and an amazing singer, artist and songwriter. I know there will be a great sense of loss and sadness in our community.”
