Music fans across the country are this evening mourning the death of Christy Dignam, the frontman of legendary Irish rock band Aslan, who was aged 63.
His death was announced by his daughter Kiera on Facebook. “On behalf of my family, it is with a broken heart that we convey the news of my father’s passing, Christy Dignam. Dad peacefully left us where he wanted to, at home today 4pm Tuesday, June 13th 2023, after a courageously long-fought battle, surrounded by his family."
Leading tributes, President Michael D Higgins said people from across Ireland and beyond would have heard the news with great sadness.
He said: “For the last 40 years, Christy and his bandmates in Aslan have made an enormous contribution to the cultural life of our nation. In addition to their well-loved albums and hit singles such as This Is and Crazy World, Aslan will be remembered in particular for their live shows and their remarkable connection with their audience."
More than 3,000 people filled the streets of Longford town in 2019 as Christy and Aslan performed, generating an incredible and memorable atmosphere.
Our video shows the huge Longford Summer Festival crowd singing along as the late Christy Dignam and Aslan belt out their classic anthem 'Crazy World'.
We hope you enjoy it.
Here's another one to enjoy...
And we leave you with the words of Christy's daughter Kiera, "Let us all hold him in our hearts and cherish the remarkable life of a talented singer, great story teller and amazing person."
Rest in Peace Christy Dignam
