Aslan's Billy McGuinness said the band are praying for a miracle for their gravely-ill lead singer Christy Dignam.
Christy, 62, was diagnosed with the rare blood cancer amyloidosis in 2013 and his family this week revealed he is receiving palliative care at home. In his only interview since the devastating news broke, the guitarist who shared the stage with Christy for four decades told of his and the rest of the band’s heartache.
And he revealed the Finglas legend had been planning a duet with U2 frontman Bono for the band’s special 40th anniversary gig in the 3Arena in March. Billy, 62, told the Irish Sunday Mirror: “The tears have been flowing. I’m absolutely devastated.
