Christy Dignam said that his daughter's birth was the happiest moment of his life.
The iconic Aslan frontman passed away today at the age of 63, after a long battle with amyloidosis, a rare blood disorder that is associated with certain cancers. Christy had been receiving palliative care since last January, and spent his last few months at home with his family.
It was at the family home that Christy conducted what would be his last media interview in April, speaking to RTE's Ryan Tubridy. And in the wide-ranging and touching interview, Christy said that the birth of his daughter Kiera ranks highest as the moment he will cherish above all others.
