Fears grow for singer Sinead O'Connor after she is reported missing and possibly suicidal

IRISH singer Sinead O'Connor has gone missing in America, according to a report from celebrity gossip website TMZ.  

O'Connor, who has spoken openly about her battle with depression, is said to be missing in Chicago, and police have reason to believe she's a suicide risk.

Last year, the singer sparked global concern for her well-being after a Facebook post on her page said that she had “taken an overdose.”

The TMZ report states: "The singer went out on a bicycle ride Sunday around 1pm in the Chicago suburb of Wilmette, and has not been seen since. Someone called cops to report she hadn't returned from the bike ride ... and officers are now searching for her."

O'Connor is being classified as "missing suicidal."

"She was last seen on a Raleigh motorized bicycle with a pink basket. She's not exactly in typical cycling gear -- black parka, black leather pants and a sweatshirt with "Ireland" on the back."
