Wilmette police confirm O'Connor went on a bike ride Sunday at 6 a.m. and did not return.
Earlier this month, Arsenio Hall filed a $5 million defamation lawsuit against O'Connor for claiming that the comedian supplied drugs to Prince.
The lawsuit calls O'Connor's accusations "despicable, fabricated lies" and adds that "O'Connor is now known perhaps as much for her bizarre, unhinged Internet rants as for her music."
O'Connor, whose biggest hit was a 1990 reworking of the Prince song "Nothing Compares 2 U," posted on her Facebook page about a week after Prince's death that he was a "long time hard drug user."
"Two words for the DEA investigating where prince got his drugs over the decades.... Arsenio Hall," O'Connor posted on May 2.
She added: "Arsenio I've reported you to the Carver County Sherrif's office. Expect their call. They are aware you spiked me years ago at Eddie murphy's house."

I'm torn because I'm pretending that the RCC represents Christianity for the sake of argument. In general I have a lot of problems with RCC doctrine. I suppose one might find a non-denominational church gathering together and burning Beatles records or Rock music in general but I'm having a hard time thinking of an example. Churches seem less and less willing to make such statements since there is always someone in the congregation likely to get offended. I haven't heard much of anything political from our church. Maybe that's for the best.
Everytime she pops up in the news, it’s over something wackadoodle crazy. As is the case with most celebs.
Personally, I find it difficult, if not counterproductive, to separate the two.
Springsteen and Neil Young are just two of my former favorites whom I refuse to hear anymore.
Missing what?
Hair? Common Sense? Sense of decency?
If you don’t believe in free will then we’re at the end of our discussion. I pray you will be richly blessed, now and always.
[Nothing personal, but there is simply no common ground between God’s revealed Word and the nonexistence of free will. I have had already far too many discussions with those who deny free will. It is the kind of misunderstanding, imho, that only the Holy Spirit can rectify.]
In parting, here’s a Scriptural passage that has provided food for thought and great encouragement for many, from James 5:
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
19 My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Yes, too much money and too much time on their hands.

Found in a hotel, sent to a hospital, I assume for observation.
WILMETTE, Ill. (WLS) — Singer Sinead O’Connor has been found safe after going missing in Chicago’s north suburbs.
Wilmette police confirmed O’Connor went on a bike ride Sunday at 6 a.m. and did not return. She was reported located around 1:45 p.m. Mon
Gobshite.
As a musician/singer, I take zero umbrage at your comment; it is spot on.
I can count on one hand the number of my fellow musicians/singers with whom I share political and/or philosophical common ground; I very much keep to myself, and share nothing with them but the love of music.
She may be in men’s Target bathroom.
Well that settles that.
I joined the Army as an Atheist and asked them to put that on my dog tag, they didn't. Praise the Lord I got saved while on TDY in Honduras. Immediately getting saved I started to worry that I could "Die again". I knew how hard my heart had been for those 21 years.
Them I met a Christian who explained election and security of salvation. What a blessing!
Praise God for your salvation. I notice you didn’t comment on the Scriptural passage from James 5, though it could scarcely be more pertinent.
Well, you said you were done talking so it didn't seem prudent at this juncture. I love the verse "The fervent effective prayers of a righteous man avails much". It's a memory verse of mine.
It is possible to discuss will vs election without it being contentious but it would be a lot of typing and we both suspect it would be of no avail. However, iron sharpens iron.
Here’s the second part:
19 My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back, 20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
Is that a proof verse of free will and against election?
Before I answer that, would you be kind enough to answer a question for me? Namely, Pharaoh, at the time Moses was raised up to deliver Israel—who hardened his heart? Did Pharaoh harden his own heart, or did God harden it for him?
Certainly. God hardened Pharaoh's heart.
