Christy Dignam's heartbroken family break silence after death of 'rock legend' as funeral details announced

The family of the late Christy Dignam has told how the music icon’s death "leaves a void that will be impossible to fill" – as they announce Christy’s funeral cortege will stop at personal landmarks before his private funeral service.

Funeral details have been announced for the late Aslan frontman, who died on Tuesday at 4pm, after a 10-year battle with amyloidosis, a rare blood cancer. He had been in palliative care since December.

Posting a statement on RIP.ie, his devastated family described the 63-year-old as a "charismatic frontman" who "earned his place as an Irish rock legend" as they revealed Christy’s funeral will take place on Saturday.
