Sinead O'Connor appears on Oprah

The topic up for discussion wasn't O'Connor’s music or public dissection of The Pope, but her being diagnosed four years ago as having bipolar disorder.
“It’s like being a bucket with holes in it,” she told Winfrey and her five million viewers. “Just leaking tears from every pore.”
Sinéad – who admitted to a suicide attempt in 2000 – went on to talk about the prescription drugs, which have enabled her to step-up her career.
“It’s a work in progress,” she reflects. “I’m not going to sit here and claim that I’m perfect or anything. Anything is an improvement when you’ve been in desolation. To be out of that place is brilliant. It doesn’t mean you don’t have lumps and bumps though.”
In addition to the main interview, which was conducted in Winfrey’s Chicago studio, a crew flew over to Dublin last month to shoot footage of Sinéad at home with her kids.
Whilst talking family, the singer expressed her sympathy for Britney Spears.
“She had two babies within the space of two years. There doesn’t seem like a terrible amount of support from the people around her. To attack someone as a mother is very dangerous. That’s what puts a young girl on a precipice which is very, very dangerous.”
You can catch O’Connor live on November 18 in the Dublin Olympia.
