On July 11, Sinéad O’Connor took to Facebook to announce that she had returned to London after 23 years away from the city. “Very happy to be home. Soon finishing my album. Release early next year,” she added. In the post, O’Connor also hinted at a possible world tour across Europe, Australia, and the United States. But while the “8 Good Reasons” singer’s posts indicated that she was in good spirits at the time, things soon took a poignant turn.
Taking to Twitter on July 17, O’Connor shared a photo of herself posing with her 17 year old son Shane, who died by suicide in 2022. “Been living as undead night creature since,” she wrote, referencing her struggle with Shane’s death. “He was the love of my life, the lamp of my soul. We were one soul in two halves. He was the only person who ever loved me unconditionally. I am lost in the bardo without him.” In a separate post, O’Connor shared a playlist seemingly aimed at helping grieving mothers who lost their kids to suicide.

Back in June, O’Connor shared a different tweet containing a video of the Hawaiian ho’oponopono, a prayer to ease suffering, guide forgiveness, and encourage reconciliation. “This is dedicated to the many upon whom I have in my life so far brought suffering and is also, with love, for anyone who has in their lives so far brought suffering upon me.”
