Mark Sheehan, co-founding guitarist of the popular Irish rock trio The Script, died today after a brief illness, the band announced.
He was 46. No other details were revealed. “Much loved husband, father, brother, band mate and friend Mark Sheehan passed away today in hospital after a brief illness,” the group posted on social media. “The family and group ask fans to respect their privacy at this tragic time.” The Irish Record Music Association named The Script as the Official Irish Charts’ Artist of the Decade, and the band racked up more chart-topping singles and albums than any other homegrown Irish act between 2010-19.
Six of its seven LPs, including last year’s hits compilation, hit No. 1 in the UK, with 2012’s #3 peaking at No. 2. It also racked up four Top 5 singles there and three No.
1s in Ireland. The band is scheduled to support Pink for a series of European concerts in the summer. Sheehan and singer-keyboardist Danny O’Donoghue were childhood friends in Dublin and were part of the boy band Mytown in the late ’90s.
