Aslan frontman Christy Dignam has died aged 63

In a statement on Facebook, Christie’s daughter, the singer Kiera Dignam said:

He had been receiving palliative care at home since December following six months of treatment at Beaumont Hospital. “As a result, people in nearly every town in Ireland will have their own memories of seeing them play and will feel like they had a personal connection with Christy. Indeed, I will personally remember a typically memorable performance from Christy in Áras an Uachtaráin in 2016.

The album – and in particular the track ‘This Is’ – showcased the band’s unique sound and Dignam’s powerful vocals.In 1988, he was kicked out of Aslan after his addiction became unmanageable for the rest of the group.

President Michael D Higgins has paid tribute to Christy Dignam: 'It is hard to believe that he has left us.'
