The Nothing Compares to You singer took time to compose a message to fans and followers in order to offer her apologies for the cancellation of her remaining 2015 shows.
Outlining the reasons for the change in scheduling, the Irish star revealed she has been attempting to deal with a 'severe family crisis' which has in turn led to personal health problems.
With trademark honesty, the 48-year-old performer wrote: "My child has been suffering with a life-threatening medical condition since early March 2015. It is the type of condition my child will definitely survive, if correct care is taken and is supervised by myself."
Elaborating on the situation, Sinead writes: "Like any mother, I have been up all day and night every day and night since I found out my child is suffering. Studying and learning all I can so that I might help not only the suffering child, but those of my other children who are naturally affected by the situation."
Further to this, Sinead explains that she has been suffering from gynaecological problems which have rendered her incapable of performing.
Opening up about the issue which she has previously documented online, she explained: "I underwent the last of three surgeries which took place in the space of nine months to correct the condition when it worsened badly, back in January 2015."
Unfortunately for the singer, her concern for her child's welfare has manifested physically, with Sinead revealing; "When one is worried about someone who came from one's womb, one's womb can behave strangely. So since the night my child took the turn, my womb won't stop bleeding because I am so worried about my child and about how we go forward as a family when my child's condition means I have to cease touring for the foreseeable future."
Apologising to fans for the cancellation, Sinead finished by explaining that both she and her child come first, writing: "I'm told it will be impossible for me to be employed as a live performer for three years now because I have cancelled the tour. So be it. My lovely child is priceless. And so therefore am I, because he needs me more than anyone else does."
Wishing Sinead and her child all the very best with their recovery
