Seeking help. After sharing a series of allegedly suicidal messages, Sinead O’Connor has been admitted to the hospital.
The “Nothing Compares 2 U” songstress, 55, announced her forthcoming hospital stay via Twitter on Thursday, January 13. The messages have since been deleted from her page.
The Ireland native’s hospital stay announcement came hours after she shared a series of since-deleted concerning messages about taking her own life.
“I’ve decided to follow my son [Shane O’Connor]. There is no point living without him. Everything I touch, I ruin. I only stayed for him. And now he’s gone,” the Grammy nominee tweeted on Thursday, according to CNN. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have said that. I am with cops now on way to hospital. I’m sorry I upset everyone.”
She allegedly added at the time: “I am lost without my kid and I hate myself. Hospital will help a while. But I’m going to find Shane. This is just a delay.”
Less than one week earlier, the musician announced that her 17-year-old son had died via a Twitter message. Shane had been reported missing in Newbridge, Ireland, several days earlier.
“My beautiful son, Nevi’im Nesta Ali Shane O’Connor, the very light of my life, decided to end his earthly struggle today and is now with God,” the songstress wrote on January 7 in a since-deleted message. “May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace.”
At the time, she grieved her loss by dedicating Bob Marley’s “Ride Natty Ride” to the late teenager, writing, “This is for my Shaney. The light of my life. The lamp of my soul. My blue-eye baby. You will always be my light. We will always be together. No boundary can separate us.”
