Sinead O’Connor ‘safe’ after OD

Sinead O’Connor is safe and receiving medical treatment, Irish media reported on Monday, after a message about her taking an overdose was posted on her Facebook page. The Irish singer, who topped international charts 25 years ago with a cover of Prince’s song Nothing Compares 2 U, posted the message on her officially verified Facebook account while she said she was in a hotel in Ireland under another name. “I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect,” the post read. “If I wasn’t posting this, my kids and family wouldn’t even find out. I’m such a rotten horrible mother and person, that I’ve been alone. Howling crying for weeks. I’m invisible.” Quoting Irish police, the Irish Examiner said O’Connor had been located “safe and sound”.
