More than 24 hours after she was reported missing<\/a>, Sinead O’Connor was safely located, according to police in a Chicago suburb.<\/p>\n

“She is safe and is no longer listed as a missing\/endangered person,” the Wilmette Police Department said in an email.<\/p>\n

Police officials did not immediately comment on the circumstances surrounding the mercurial Irish singer’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

Wilmette police had been “seeking to check the well-being” of O’Connor, Sgt. Michael Robinson said earlier Monday<\/a>. “A caller has expressed concern for her well-being and no other information is available,” Robinson said at the time.<\/p>\n

O’Connor had last been seen around 6.a.m. Sunday when she reportedly left the Wilmette area to go on a bike ride, according to authorities. Wilmette Police Chief Brian King told the Chicago Tribune that the department was contacted around 1 p.m.<\/p>\n

O’Connor has spoken publicly in the past about her mental health struggles, including suicide attempts in 1999 and 2012. Last year, O’Connor posted a message on her Facebook page that suggested that she was taking her life and came after several social media posts about personal troubles.<\/p>\n

“I have taken an overdose,” she wrote in the November message. “There is no other way to get respect. I am not at home, I’m at a hotel, somewhere in ireland, under another name. If I wasn’t posting this, my kids and family wouldn’t even find out.”<\/p>\n

O’Connor went on to write about problems she was having with her family.<\/p>\n

“I’m invisible. I don’t matter a shred to anyone. No one has come near me. I’ve died a million times already with the pain of it,” she wrote.<\/p>\n

Later that day, police in Ireland confirmed that they had found the singer “safe and sound” and said that she was receiving medical care.<\/p>\n

The Wilmette Beacon reported that O’Connor “has been staying with friends in Wilmette for several weeks.”<\/p>\n

On Saturday, O’Connor said on her public Facebook page that she was “Heading Down South for several weeks” and suggested that she was planning to protest North Carolina’s “bathroom bill.”<\/p>\n

On Sunday, the same day she disappeared in Illinois, a note appeared on O’Connor’s Facebook page, apparently alluding to a familial legal issue.<\/p>\n

Police, however, have not spoken about the social media post or said whether it had any connection to the artist’s disappearance.<\/p>\n

The singer-songwriter found herself back in the headlines following Prince’s death last month. O’Connor – whose megahit “Nothing Compares 2 U” was written by Prince – took to Facebook and accused Arsenio Hall of supplying drugs to the late singer.<\/p>\n

Hall is suing O’Connor for libel.<\/p>\n
