After posting to Facebook that she had taken an overdose this morning, Irish singer Sinead O’Connor has reportedly been found by police in a “safe” condition.
The 48 year-old muso’s post details how she had checked in to a hotel under an alias, after claiming her family’s treatment of her amounted to a series of “horrific set of betrayals” and “appalling cruelty.”
Police in the country haven’t released any more details about her condition.
It’s a very worrying development for the singer, who has typically been open about the struggles in her personal life; during an interview with Oprah in 2007, she announced she suffers from bipolar disorder.
While she received immediate medical attention today, we hope she gets the continued help she needs in the future too.
