Sinead O'Connor Cancels All 2012 Tour Plans After 'Very Serious Breakdown'

Irish singer-songwriter Sinead O’Connor has cancelled all of her tour plans for this year after reportedly suffering a ‘very serious breakdown’ in the past couple of months.
The troubled singer has already attempted suicide this year after admitting on Twitter that she had overdosed on pills, and used the now-deleted account as a way to seek help from her fans. O’Connor, who suffers from bi-polar, has now suffered even further as a result of that incident, which she describes as ‘a very serious breakdown’ between December and March, and it’s now led to the cancellation of all her 2012 tour dates.
Posting via her official website, O’Connor wrote: “With enormous regret I must announce that I have to cancel all touring for the year as am very unwell due to bipolar disorder. As you all know I had a very serious breakdown between December and March and I had been advised by my doctor not to go on tour but didn't want to 'fail' or let anyone down as the tour was already booked to coincide with album release.”
She continued: “So very stupidly I ignored his advice to my great detriment, attempting to be stronger than I actually am. I apologise sincerely for any difficulties this may cause. While touring will be cancelled I do hope and plan to appear at the Curtis Mayfield tribute in The Lincoln Centre in July.”
