Aslan's Christy Dignam thanks fans for good wishes during 'difficult time' as he remains in hospital

Christy Dignam has spoken from his hospital bed to thank fans for their good wishes during a “difficult time for me and my family”.

The Aslan frontman, who has been battling a rare blood disorder called amyloidosis since 2013, was hospitalised two weeks ago, forcing the band to postpone their 3Arena gig. Now 62-year-old Christy has spoken from his hospital bed to thank everyone for their messages of support and vow he will “be back home soon”.

Speaking exclusively to the Irish Mirror, he said: “Christy here, I would like to personally thank you all for all your messages of support and good wishes that were sent to me while I’m in hospital. They have really lifted my spirits in what was a difficult time for me and my family and the Aslan team.
