Irish singer Sinead O’Connor has been found safe after being missing for more than a day in the US city of Chicago. A search had been launched by a concerned caller when she’d failed to return from a bicycle ride.
According to a statement from the Wilmette Police Department, Sinead was found safe around 1:45 P.M. CT and “is no longer considered a missing person.”
While Wilmette PD did not say where the “Nothing Compares 2 U” hitmaker was found or she had been, a source told WGN that she was found at a hotel and taken to a nearby hospital. She has been staying in Wilmette with a friend since January, a source told NBC News.
Wilmette PD previously announced they were “seeking to check the well-being” of Sinead after a concerned caller reported that the singer had not been seen since 6:00 A.M. on Sunday after she decided to go for a bike ride in the city. Authorities believed the singer could be suicidal.
At the time, Sinead reportedly wore leather pants, a sweatshirt and a black parka while riding on Raleigh motorized bicycle.
Following the news of Sinead missing, Josh Groban shared his concern on Twitter, hoping she would soon be found.
Hoping for Sinead O'Connor's safe return. The demons she battles are no joke.
