Singer Sinead O’Connor admitted on Sunday she would like to be a judge on a talent show.
The Nothing Compares 2 U singer revealed last Friday that all her future concerts and tours will now be pulled.
But she said on Sunday that she wants to mentor young singers on shows such as the Voice of Ireland, which was axed in 2016.
“I have always wanted to be one of the artists involved in presenting and mentoring on the The Voice of Ireland,” she said.
“But never was free to do it. I am now. So if they ever want me they can contact my managers.”
Earlier, the 54-year old told RTE’s Brendan O’Connor on Sunday that she still intends to keep busy but is just not touring.
She added: “I would probably write songs for other artists and if the odd job came along… for example I’m singing the song for the (Michael) Flatley movie.
“I do believe I’m past my peak as a singer and I’d be stupid not to acknowledge that.”
The performer said that the decision to quit touring was not one taken on a whim.
She said that she talked it over at length with her managers about packing in live performances and touring for roughly six months.
But she insisted that she wanted to leave the stage “on a high note” and retiring from touring was a move of “extreme self care”.
She said: “Last year, we had a tour booked and I had secretly been planning to let that be my last tour.
“Then the gigs were rescheduled for this year, before all being cancelled again and postponed for next year. My plan was to cease touring this year.
“The long and the short of it is I’m a Bel Canto singer, and Bel Canto singers are inclined to retire around this age.
“The body is the instrument and you don’t have the same abdominal muscles and the same muscles that would allow you to perform to such an emotional degree that Bel Canto singers do.
“Touring can be very destabilising, living out of bags and moving hotel rooms every few days.
“That’s really a young person’s game."
She said she hopes the public will be happy for her after announcing her retirement for live shows adding it “will set me free from things that were restraining”.
She said that some performers are forced to carry when they are 65 or even 75 but she was determined not to go “dragging myself around the world when I was past my peak”.
She added: “I have had a ball and I’ve really enjoyed it but a wise warrior knows when to retreat.”
The singer said she had no regrets about her decision to stop touring adding that she is “looking forward to doing other things with my life”.
