Christy Dignam, the Irish musician best known as the frontman of Aslan, has died at the age of 63 following a long illness.

His daughter Kiera released a statement on social media announcing his death on Tuesday afternoon.

“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.

“We ask that you honour our family’s need for privacy during this immensely painful period. Let us all hold him in our hearts and cherish the remarkable life of a talented singer, great story teller and amazing person. We thank you so much for your love and support shown to us.”

The singer was diagnosed with amyloidosis, a rare blood disorder associated with certain cancers in 2013, and it was reported in January that he had entered palliative care at his home in December.

His Aslan bandmates said: “We are beyond devastated to have lost not just our band member, but our friend, Christy, that we have had so many, many years of sharing our lives with.
