She was reported missing to police by a concerned caller whose identity was not revealed, and said to be riding on a Raleigh motorized bicycle.
The gifted but troubled singer-songwriter is known as much for her fierce and expressive voice as her shaved head and blunt criticism of the Catholic Church and other institutions.
Sinead O’Connor has been found safe after earlier being reported missing in Chicago, following concerns about the singer’s mental wellbeing. The lawsuit also claims that O’Connor only met Prince a few times and “detested” him and “spat on him quite a bit”, so was in no position to know about anyone supplying drugs to him.
In the note she said, “I have taken an overdose”.
She added that she’d been abandoned by her family after recently undergoing a hysterectomy.
Police had declined to confirm that they were looking for O’Connor or searching for her whereabouts, although according to BBC, they did confirm receiving a call saying she was missing. She last performed in the area MARCH 4th at METRO with SONS OF THE SILENT AGE in a DAVID BOWIE tribute concert, singing “Sorrow” and “Life on Mars” with the CHICAGO band.
Prince, who died on 21 April, wrote O’Connor’s 1990 hit ballad Nothing Compares 2 U.
O’Connor wrote on Sunday, “Jake, kindly go to the court on Tuesday and take custody your brother from Tusla”.
O’Connor had, in November 2015, posted a suicide threat on Facebook, revealing that she had taken an overdose because of a “horrifying set of betrayals”.
“Do not abandon your brother or any other of my babies again”, she charged.
O’Connor, who was diagnosed with bipolar disorder more than a decade ago, has spoken of her mental health problems. Unnamed sources told The Wilmette Beacon that O’Connor was in town to visit friends.
Authorities have reason to believe she is at risk of suicide, according to TMZ. O’Connor is now being sued for libel by Hall over her comments.

She said in the post she was not at home. In 1992, she tore a photo of Pope John Paul II into pieces while performing Bob Marley’s “War” on Saturday Night Live.
