Irish rock legend Christy Dignam is being looked after at home by a palliative care team.
The Aslan star has battled a rare form of blood cancer since 2013.
He was admitted to Beaumont Hospital in July 2022 and spent six months in the care of the Haematology and Cardiac Care team.
However, a statement released this morning said since last month, he has been at his Dublin home where he is being cared for “lovingly by family” alongside a hospital care team.
The statement said that Christy, his wife Kathryn and their family, namely daughter Kiera and son-in-law Darren and his grandchildren wanted to share an update on his health.
“The Dignam family thanks everyone for keeping Christy in their thoughts and prayers and asks for privacy at this time,” it adds.
Aslan, who have played dozens of times at various venues in Donegal, were forced to postpone their 3Arena concert which was to mark their 40th anniversary in the industry.
Christy’s bandmates recorded a video message for fans in which they said their number one priority was his health.
The 3Arena gig was due to be the band’s biggest show of their career to date, celebrating 40 years since they formed in 1982.
