“Mark Sheehan, guitarist with Irish pop band the Script, has died in hospital aged 46 after a brief illness.
“Sheehan formed the band with frontman Danny O’Donoghue and drummer Glen Power in 2001.
“In a statement on their social media pages, the band said: “Much loved husband, father, brother, bandmate and friend Mark Sheehan passed away today in hospital after a brief illness.
““The family and group ask fans to respect their privacy at this tragic time.”
“Sheehan was married to Reena Sheehan, whom he met while she was working as a session singer, and the couple had three children.
“Last year, after the guitarist missed the US leg of the band’s tour, O’Donoghue told Sunday World that Sheehan had taken a break to spend time with his family.”
