Sinead O’Connor hospitalized, days after son’s death
The “Nothing Compares 2 U” singer told fans on Thursday night that she was heading to hospital to receive help after sharing in a series of disturbing Twitter posts that she planned to take her own life.
“I’ve decided to follow my son. There is no point living without him. Everything I touch, I ruin. I only stayed for him. And now he’s gone,” she wrote on an unverified Twitter account linked to her official account.
O’Connor — who has been open about her own mental struggles and suicidal thoughts in the past — went on to say she felt “lost,” and blamed herself for her teenage son’s death.
The mother-of-four followed the thread an hour later by apologizing for her alarming posts and reassuring fans that she was seeking medical attention.
“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 posted, adding: “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.”
O’Connor’s representatives declined to comment on the matter to CNN.
Shane O’Connor’s body was discovered on January 7, two days after he went missing, the singer’s management company confirmed to CNN on Saturday.
O’Connor announced his death on Twitter, saying her “beautiful” son “decided to end his earthly struggle.”
“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,” she wrote. “May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace.”
Sinead O’Connor’s teen son escaped suicide watch before death
The troubled teenage son of Irish pop star Sinead O’Connor had escaped suicide watch in an Irish hospital the day before his death, the pop star claimed on Twitter.
Shane O’Connor, 17, was found dead Friday outside Dublin.
“Like, how has a seventeen year old traumatised young person WHO WAS ON SUICIDE WATCH in Tallaght Hospital’s Lynn Ward been able to go missing???” O’Connor wrote Thursday.
“Hospital of course so far refusing to take any responsibility. Anything happens to my son on their watch? Lawsuits.”
Police confirmed the boy’s death, the Sun reports.
“Following the recovery of a body in the Bray area of Wicklow on Friday, 7th January 2022, a Missing Person Appeal in respect of Shane O’Connor, 17 years, has been stood down,” a spokesman said.
Shane had been missing since Thursday, as O’Connor, 55, shared the heartbreaking ordeal of the quest to find her son and then his death on Twitter.
“This is a message for my son, Shane. Shane, it’s not funny any more all this going missing. You are scaring the crap out of me. Could you please do the right thing and present yourself at a Gardai station. If you are with Shane please call the Gardai for his safety”.
“My world would collapse without you. You are my heart. Please don’t stop it from beating. Please don’t harm yourself. Go to the Gardai and let’s get you to hospital.”
She reported his death on Twitter Friday.
“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,” she wrote. “May he rest in peace and may no one follow his example. My baby. I love you so much. Please be at peace:”
The teen bore a striking resemblance to his mom, social media observers noted, who rose to international fame on the strength of the 1990 hit song “Nothing Compares 2 U.”
O’Connor has been married four times and has three other children, Jake Reynolds, Roisin Waters and Yeshua Francis Neil Bonadio, according to reports.
She shared custody of Shane with Irish folk singer Donal Lunny, the Sun reports.
Bellator 271 results: Cris Cyborg knocks out Sinead Kavanagh, welcomes cageside Kayla Harrison
Bellator featherweight champ Cris Cyborg threw her team’s gameplan out the window and decided to slug it out with boxer Sinead Kavanagh, slinging leather until she found Kavanagh’s chin and ended the fight in Bellator 271’s headliner.
Kavanagh also found Cyborg’s chin with a left hook. But Cyborg’s right hand was just a little more accurate and knocked out the Irish native at the 1:32 mark of the opening frame at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Fla.
“I didn’t do anything my team planned, so sorry,” Cyborg said afterward. “But I feel great about it.”
Check out the finish below.
Afterward, Cyborg said she asked to face Cat Zingano in her next title defense, but welcomed any fight offered by her promoter. As it happened, one intriguing option sat cageside in two-time PFL champ Kayla Harrison, who entered free agency with her latest tournament win.
“Kayla, thank you for coming to the fights,” Cyborg said. “I really appreciate you here. If you want to fight me one day, it’s going to be a great fight, but [Harrison manager] Ali Abdelaziz have to talk to all the promotions to make this happen.”
Cyborg has now defended her title three times after dethroning Julia Budd in her Bellator debut. Kavanagh sees a two-fight winning streak snapped.
Vassell goes out on top against Fortune
Linton Vassell might not have started in top position against Tyrell Fortune. But every time the more experienced collegiate wrestler put him on the mat, he found a way to get there.
Fortune repeatedly blitzed Vassell with overhand hands and flurries of knees inside the clinch. When Vassell survived, he worked to scoop the Brit’s legs, only to find himself on bottom in scrambles. Vassell made the most of his time, advancing to mount or threatening chokes from back control. By the third round, all of the grappling had worn out Fortune, and he gave away position to let Vassell whack away at his head for the final stretch of the fight.
Although one judge awarded Fortune the fight with a 29-28 score, the other two had it for Vasell by the same tally, bringing the U.K. standout his third straight win in the Bellator cage. Long aggrieved by a lack of opportunities, Fortune’s stock takes another hit after earning a three-fight winning streak in the wake of a knockout loss to Timothy Johnson.
Pico sees scorecards for first time
There were only a few moments early on in Aaron Pico’s Bellator 271 appearance when his win was in doubt, and that was when he was playing fast and loose with his techniques against the undefeated Justin Gonzales. A spinning hook kick brought a swift correction from coach Greg Jackson, and that was the end of that – until the last 10 seconds, when the win was in comfortable reach.
Pico again used his primary skillset of wrestling to control Gonzales, who refused to go away but managed to take the young star somewhere he’d never before been: the scorecards. Two judges gave Pico the 30-27 shutout while the third awarded him a 30-26, the result of punishing work at all ranges. Body shots had Gonzales in deep trouble midway through the first, and an elbow visibly rattled him in the second. Chokes were the main threat in the third, but Sanchez did just enough to survive. Only in the first moments of the fight, when he landed a nice overhand right and some stinging leg kicks, was the undefeated fighter in reach of the upset.
Pico showed a fight IQ to go with his powerful punches and takedowns, and despite the length of the engagement showed again his potential in the Bellator cage. With five straight wins, he’ll climb the ranks in his next match, while Gonzales will reset after upsetting Tywan Claxton.
Blencowe peppers Sorenson for decision
For the first two rounds of her featherweight contest with Arlene Blencowe, Pam Sorenson’s main respite from an arrow-straight right hand was the clinch. When she wasn’t able to tie up Blencowe, she took shot after shot with that attack, leaving her left cheek bloody and right brow swollen. By the third round, her persistent wrestling efforts took some of the steam of Blencowe’s punches, making her comfortable enough to slug it out in the final round. She wasn’t going to reverse the trend with low kicks and a few punches, however, and dropped a unanimous decision via scores of 30-27 twice and 29-28.

Sinéad O’Connor has put her multicoloured seaside house in Ireland back on the market.
The singer, 54, who previously revealed she’s now staying in her holiday property, has placed her former home up for sale for £683,000 (€950,000) after previously failing to sell the property in 2017.

Sinéad’s former house has been decorated in an array of different colours with even the white walls of the home’s exterior lined with rainbow bricks.
The property, which was built in the 1860s, still has a Victorian feel with vintage wood interiors, though Sinead has clearly added her own twist with walls painted in an array of colours.
One living room boasts pastel green walls as a stark contrast to the dark furnishings, while another has paintwork in a deep magenta to match the pale pink sofas.

One of the bedroom’s also features Sinéad’s homage to the Hindu god Vishnu on a blue sky backdrop, with the mural overlooking one of the home’s enormous double beds.
So colourful: One living room boasts pastel green walls as a stark contrast to the dark furnishings, with dark wooden bookshelves, flooring and the home’s original fireplace

Lots of room: Even Sinéad’s garden shed is painted a deep shade of purple, with plenty of space for a large garage painted in a striking white
Adding to the home’s Victorian feel, many of the rooms still boast their original fireplaces and wooden windows.
It was previously reported that Sinéad tried to sell her house back in 2017, and came close to securing a sale before it fell through, according to The Irish Times.
Last month Sinéad penned a cryptic Twitter post to ask her fans to pray for her teenage son Shane after revealing that she’d had a ‘hideous day from hell.’
While not disclosing what had happened, she wrote: ‘Any spare prayers out there, pls stick one in for my son, Shane. The very light of my life.’

Tried and failed: It was previously reported that Sinéad tried to sell her house back in 2017, and came close to securing a sale before it fell through, according to The Irish Times
Worrying: Last month Sinéad penned a cryptic Twitter post to ask her fans to pray for her teenage son Shane after revealing that she’d had a ‘hideous day from hell’
On hold: It comes after the singer announced that she has cancelled her upcoming tour dates to enter a ‘one-year programme for trauma and addiction’
The mother-of-four added in another tweet: ‘Hideous day from hell.’ Several fans responded to Sinéad’s tweets, sending their well wishes and saying they’d be thinking about Shane.
It comes after the singer announced that she has cancelled her upcoming tour dates to enter a ‘one-year programme for trauma and addiction’.
She revealed the news last November after saying she had ‘lost someone beloved’ and had endured a ‘traumatic six years.’
Concerns: She revealed the news last November after saying she had ‘lost someone beloved’ and had endured a ‘traumatic six years’
Tragic: Sinéad admitted she had been ‘addicted to weed for 34 years’ but ‘became briefly addicted’ to another drug following her loss
Sorry! She wrote: ‘Message for folks who have tickets for next year’s shows: those shows are being postponed until 2022 so that I may go into a one year trauma and addiction treatment program’
On the mend: She then added: ‘Because I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts’
Upsetting: She continued the lengthy thread: ‘This year I lost someone beloved and has affected me so badly that I became briefly addicted to a drug other than weed’
Sinéad admitted she had been ‘addicted to weed for 34 years’ but ‘became briefly addicted’ to another drug following her loss.
The singer uses two Twitter accounts, one managing her professional business with an official blue tick and another under her Islamic moniker Shuhanda Sadaqat, which she used to make the announcement.
Apologising to her fans in a heartfelt statement, she wrote: ‘Message for folks who have tickets for next year’s shows: those shows are being postponed until 2022 so that I may go into a one year trauma and addiction treatment program because I had a very traumatic six years and this year was the end of it but now recovery starts.’
Addicted: Sinéad continued: ‘I have been addicted to weed for 34 years. A lifetime. I grew up with a lot of trauma and abuse. I then went straight into the music business’
I need help! The Nothing Compares 2 U hitmaker then pleaded with her fans to be ‘supportive’ and keep hold of their tickets for 2022, when she vowed to return with a new album
Determined: But she also added that her four shows in Ireland will not be cancelled ‘unless Covid prevents them’ as she does not need to leave the ‘country or rehab to do those’
She continued the lengthy thread: ‘This year I lost someone beloved and has affected me so badly that I became briefly addicted to a drug other than weed.
‘I have been addicted to weed for 34 years. A lifetime. I grew up with a lot of trauma and abuse. I then went straight into the music business.
‘And never learned really how to make a normal life. Never took proper time to heal. Wasn’t ready to either.’
The Nothing Compares 2 U hitmaker then pleaded with her fans to be ‘supportive’ and keep hold of their tickets for 2022, when she vowed to return with a new album.
But she also added that her four shows in Ireland will not be cancelled ‘unless Covid prevents them’ as she does not need to leave the ‘country or rehab to do those’.
What a house! Sinéad first purchased her home in Ireland in 2007, but has previously attempted to sell the property
