The guitarist for chart-topping band The Script has died after a brief illness, the band has announced. Mark Sheehan, who was 46, was a founding member of the Irish hitmakers.
The band made the announcement about Mark's death on social media on Friday (April 14). In a post, they said: "Much loved husband, father, brother, band mate 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."
When the band toured the US last year, Sheehan was absent from the line-up. The Script’s frontman Danny O’Donoghue had told the press that he was attending to family commitments.
