Update - Singer found safe

Singer Sinead O'Connor has been found safe and sound by US police after she had been reported missing.

The Nothing Compares 2 U singer, 48, was last seen at 6am on Sunday morning. She was riding a bike at the time. Police in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette subsequently issued a check for well-being and filed her as a missing person after she failed to return home on Sunday night. 

But police subsequently issued a statement saying that they no longer considered her to be missing or in danger. 

The Irish singer returned to the headlines earlier this month after comedian Arsenio Hall filed a US$5m (€4.3m) lawsuit against her. O'Connor had alleged that Hall used to supply drugs to musician Prince, who died last month.

Last November, O'Connor claimed to have "taken an overdose" in a lengthy post on her Facebook account. 

“This week has broken me,” the 48-year-old songwriter had written at the time. “The last two nights finished me off. I have taken an overdose. There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I’m at a hotel, somewhere in ireland, under another name.”

Irish police subsequently found O'Connor safe and sound.
