Westlife star Shane Filan has told how he misses his parents every day, as he takes on a new role with the Irish Cancer Society.
The Sligo-born singer, 43, lost both his parents, Mae and Peter, to cancer just nine months apart in 2019-20. He said becoming the charity’s official ambassador for its Relay for Life is his way of keeping their memory alive.
The relay sees communities come together for a 24-hour event to celebrate cancer survivors, remember those who have been lost to the disease, and raise awareness of the services provided by the Irish Cancer Society locally and nationally.
