Sinead O’Connor has cancelled all of her upcoming live performances, including a performance at the Galway International Festival of the Arts in July.
In a statement Friday, her management team said she would not be performing live for the rest of 2022 due to continued grief over the loss of her 17-year-old son, Shane, earlier this year.
They said it was not an easy decision for the singer-songwriter, but that Ella O’Connor is currently prioritizing her own health and well-being.
According to RTE, the statement read: “We would like to respectfully announce that due to continuing grief over the tragic loss of her beloved son Shane earlier this year, Sinead O’Connor will not be performing live in 2022.
“This has not been an easy decision for Sinead but a decision she has had to make for her own health and wellbeing at this time.”
They added: “Thank you also to Sinead’s friends and fans whose support and understanding we hold in the highest esteem throughout this period.
“The love being shown has been a source of great comfort and peace for Sinead.”
