QuoteSinead O'Connor reported missing in Chicago
Singer has spoken about her struggles with depression and mental illness
Sinead O'Connor has gone missing in a suburb of Chicago, according to local police, who are seeking the Irish singer-songwriter to check her well-being.
According to a statement from police in Wilmette, Ill., O'Connor reportedly left for a bike ride early Sunday morning and has yet to return.
An unnamed individual called police expressing concern for the Dublin-born performer's well-being, said Sgt. Michael Robinson. No further information was released.
Paradigm Talent Agency, which represents O'Connor, declined comment and it is unknown why she was in the area.
O'Connor, who shot to fame in 1990 for her smash hit cover of Prince's track Nothing Compares 2 U, has spoken about dealing with and seeking treatment for mental health issues.
Social media outbursts
Earlier this month, in a Facebook post, she accused comedian Arsenio Hall of supplying drugs to music legend Prince, who died suddenly at his Minnesota home studio on April 21. Hall filed a $5-million US defamation lawsuit against O'Connor in Los Angeles Superior Court.
In November, she threatened suicide through a bizarre Facebook post, saying she had "taken an overdose" and blaming family members for "appalling cruelty."
O'Connor, who has four children and one grandchild, was later found safe, with reports suggesting she was seeking medical attention.
Several months earlier, O'Connor cancelled her entire 2015 summer tour, including headlining festivals in Edmonton, Regina and Winnipeg. A statement released by her agent pointed to medical reasons.
From the very beginning of her career in the mid-1980s, O'Connor has courted controversy for her outspoken nature, shocking statements and outrageous acts, including tearing up a photo of the then Pope as a protest as she ended a high-profile performance on TV's Saturday Night Live.
Musically, she has experimented with a variety of genres throughout her career, from pop and rock to torch songs, reggae and Irish folk music.
Her albums earned praise from critics and fans, but her brash behaviour and, in recent years, struggles with mental illness often overshadowed her musical ability and achievements.
Has anyone questioned JP2? :ph34r:
Tough, but she dropped a dime on Shane Macgowan and now it seems she did the same to Arsenio. Snitching's not good for your health. Especially in Chicago.
apparently she's Ok
I feel sorry for her. I have been following her on Facebook for some time and she seems quite troubled.

I thought she seemed troubled too, but then I learned Prince wrote her famous song. :sleep:

The only person with bigger hangups with the Church than Marti.
I'd say out of all the countries in the world Mickistan has the most legitimate beef.
I would wholeheartedly agree. But I needed to take a shot at Marti anyway.
She should only be considered missing after it's been seven hours and fifteen days.
Somebody hit that guy. Yeah, him.

Me too. I agree with you. She went off the deep end about a year ago and was hospitalized.
The moment she got back on Facebook the first thing she did was post a long rant at her son and ex husband(? or someone). Its sad but still very entertaining.
Never much cared for her.

Though as an Orangeman, you're probably obligated to be a fan, since she ripped up a picture our Most Holy Father on SNL. My enemy's enemy is friend and whatnot.

I actually believed that to be in bad taste.

It started the end of her popularity. Shortly thereafter she was booed off stage at some charity gig into the arms of Kris Kristofferson. Too bad cause she does have talent, and I even have her last two albums which were pretty good. But yeah, she obviously suffers from some psychosis and her facebook posts are pretty sad.

Eh, don't much care for the drama queen, but any shot against religion gives her a plus in my book.
