Sinead O’Connor makes tough decision ‘for his health’ after son’s death

Sinead O’Connor experienced a terrible tragedy a few months ago. Her 17-year-old son, Shane, was found dead. A tragedy from which the singer has great difficulty in recovering and, when she was to perform on stage, she made a radical decision. In a press release published on the artist’s website, we can first read: “We would like to respectfully announce that due to the ongoing grieving process, Sinead has been advised that it would be healthier for her to take the rest of this year and we hope to reschedule the shows for 2023 when she feels stronger“, it is indicated. Subsequently, it is specified that this decision has “was not easy for Sinead but, after being advised, she realized it was for her own health“. The statement also states that the singer would like “thank and affirm its gratitude to the global agency ICM of Sinead who handled these cancellations with the utmost respect and dignity and worked tirelessly. We would also like to express our gratitude for the continued support and understanding of local and international promoters.“. Without forgetting the “Sinead’s friends and fans whose support and understanding have been very present throughout this period. The love she was able to receive was a source of comfort and peace for Sinead“.

Last January, the son of Sinead O’Connor, then confined in a psychiatric hospital near Dublin, Ireland, mysteriously disappears. Quickly, a search notice had been launched by the police but also by the singer. “Shane, your life is precious. God didn’t put such a beautiful smile on your beautiful face for nothing. My world would crumble without you. You’re my Heart. Please don’t make it stop beating. Please don’t hurt yourself. Go to the nearest police station and we’ll take you to the hospital“, she had first written on her social networks before asking: “How could a 17-year-old, traumatized and monitored for suicidal tendencies, disappear?“. On Friday January 7, the day after his disappearance, his body was found dead. A real tragedy for Sinead O’Connor who had quickly explained that she wanted to join him. “I decided to follow my son. There’s no point in living without it. Everything I touch, I ruin. I only stayed for him. And now he’s gone“, she had first written on her Twitter account before adding: “I destroyed my family. My children don’t want to know me. I am a shitty person. And you all think I’m nice because I can sing. But I’m not“. A few days later, she apologized to her fans and indicated that she was going to the hospital.”I’m sorry to have upset everyone. I am lost without my child and I hate myself. The hospital will help me for a while“, she had concluded.
