Your personal background.
Sinéad O'Connor has said that she's not retiring, a day
after announcing she was stepping back from 'touring and working in the
record business'.
The Irish singer, 54, took to Twitter late on Saturday to update
fans on her change of plans and to explain that she had 'temporarily allowed her head to be f***ed up' following an appearance
on BBC Women's Hour, which she slammed as 'abusive'.

Penning a lengthy and 'colourful' statement, the star
said that she 'loves her job of making music' and apologised for giving fans a 'fright', but explained that going over the 'abuse I grew up
with every time I go to sell a record, it triggers me'.

Taking to Twitter late on Saturday, Sinéad said: 'Good news.


F**k retiring. I retract. Am not retiring. I was temporarily allowing pigs in lipstick to
f**k my head up...' 
Sinéad then wrote in her letter that she felt 'abused' by a few outlets while promoting her new book Rememberings, claiming that
'barely any interviewers...
respected requests' to be sensitive and not 'dig deep into painful
s**t'.

She said: 'It was unnecessary and hurtful for Women's Hour of all people,
to remind me of the awfully abusive statements written about me by an Irish man for a UK paper; some years ago representing me as the Jane Eyre-esquires Madwoman in the attic'.

The singer was promoting her memoir Rememberings when she engaged in the
stilted conversation with host Emma Barnett, 36,
who spoke of her being 'a crazy lady', while Sinéad
also controversially likened herself to Jamaican men.

Triggered: The Irish singer, 54, took to Twitter on Saturday to explain that she

'I retract': Sinéad shared a lengthy three-page statement detailing the reasons behind her retirement announcement and why she's
no longer stepping away from performing

Taking to Twitter hours after the interview aired, Sinéad blasted Emma and the show for various 'abusive' comments
and also apologised if she 'accidentally offended Jamaican men' when she detailed having different fathers to her four children. 
During the discussion, Emma spoke of how The Telegraph's music critic Neil McCormick, 60, had branded Sinéad
'the crazy lady in pop's attic' - a reference the singer later described as
'abusive and invalidating'.   
Talking on Monday night, Sinéad went on to say that the show should be recalled 'Pigs In Lipstick' as she explained she wasn't retiring,
but made her first statement on Twitter because she 'lost her
s**t' after appearing on Women's Hour last Tuesday.
She wrote: 'So now the good news.

I was already so badly triggered by the time the BBC f****d me up the
ass… I lost my s**t after Women's Hour: I felt
like I did thirty years ago and for thirty years. 
'That I'd be better off (safer) if I ran away and gave up being in music at
all.
Because I keep getting used a a coat hanger for people
to clothe with whatever they like.

'I was not myself last week by the time
Pigs In Lipstick was finished with me': The singer ended her statement
saying that she gave herself 'a fright' and wasn't retiring

'My legal vulnerabilities and or past agonies framed up for salacious entertainment and paying he mortgages of mostly men, who, thanks be
to God, have never and will never know what it's like to
be a female trauma survivor win this world.' 
Sinéad added: 'I said I was retiring.

As I have said many times before in knee jerk reactions what I was
young and made the butt of media abuse on grounds I'm legally vulnerable. 
'The hugest misconception (I'm always asked this but never answer) of Sinead O'Connor is that she is Amazonian. I'm
not.
I'm a five foot four inch soft hearted female who is actually very fragile. 
'When people ridicule or invalidate or disrespect or abuse or misuse me on the grounds I
suffer from severe long term effects of the barbaric physical and
sexual abuse I grew up with, every time I go to sell a record,
a show or win this case a book, it triggers me. 
'I turn back into that hurt child.

Or that appallingly treated young woman and my job becomes something I'm terrified of.'
Sinéad then said that she 'loves her job', writing: 'Making music that is.

I don't like the consequences of being a talented (and
outspoken woman) being that I have to wade through walls of prejudice every
day to make a living.

I feel safe in retracting my expressed wish to retire and
I will in face be doing all shows currently booked for 2022.'
Concluding the statement, she added: 'Also, I lied when I said I'm past
my peak. Ain't no such f*****g thing :) I'm just past listening to any
more s***e about how crazy people are invalid.


'I want to extend my heartfelt apologies to all fans, buyers,
promoters, venues and hot god sellers for the fright
I've given you.

To be honest I gave myself a fright too.
'I was not myself last week by the time Pigs In Lipstick
[Women's Hour] was finished with me.'
A BBC spokesperson said: 'During an interview about her new book, Sinead O'Connor
was talking about her mental health and was asked what she made of
a comment by a music critic reviewing her book in recent days.'

time to 'make other dreams come true' on Friday.

is to announce my retirement from touring and from working in the record
business.

I've gotten older and I'm tired. 
'So it's time for me to hang up my nipple tassels, having truly given my all.
NVDA in 2022 will be my last release. And there'll be no more touring or promo.'
She then followed up with another tweet, writing: 'It's not sad news.

It's staggeringly beautiful news. A wise warrior knows when he or she should retreat:
#MeTime'
Reassuring fans she's feeling positive about the change and decision to
retire from going on the road, Sinéad added: 'It's been a forty year
journey. 
'Time to put the feet up and make other dreams come true ; )'
Sinéad also answered a fan asking about whether rescheduled concerts would now be cancelled following the latest update, with the singer saying the would be.

She replied: 'Yes, all shows which were originally set for 2020, rescheduled
to 2021 and then to 2022 are going to be pulled.

Because this soldier woman has grown old quicker than covid.'
