Singer Sinead O'Connor has cancelled the remaining dates of
her world tour, saying she is still recovering from a "very serious
breakdown".
In a
statement on her official website, she said she had scrapped all concerts this
year due to her bipolar disorder.
Her
website has now been deleted along with her Twitter account.
A
spokesman said: "We have had nothing confirmed yet but are working on the
assumption that the statement on her website is correct."
In the
statement, the 45-year-old said she was very "unwell" and it was with
"enormous regret" that she had to make the decision.
She wrote:
"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.
"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."
The singer
released her new critically acclaimed album How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?
in February.
In
December, she announced she had split from her therapist husband Barry Herridge
after 16 days of marriage.
The star
also said she was still hoping to appear at the Curtis Mayfield tribute concert
at The Lincoln Center in New York in July.
