Who was Mark Sheehan?
In light of the recent tragedy, the family and the band have asked that their fans respect their privacy. Sheehan was married to Reena Sheehan, whom he met while she was working as a session singer, and the couple had three children together. Sheehan met his wife while she was performing in a session. O’Donoghue explained to Sunday World that Sheehan had taken a hiatus to spend more time with his family after the guitarist failed to show up for the band’s tour in the United States the previous year.
He went on to say that the members of the group were in agreement with Sheehan’s choice and described them as “a band of brothers” who “stick together no matter what.” O’Donoghue and Sheehan had known each other since they were 12 years old and had both spent their childhoods in Dublin.
The self-titled debut album by The Script was released in 2008 and quickly became the most popular record in both the United Kingdom and Ireland. It included such chart-topping singles as “We Cry,” “Breakeven,” and “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved,” the latter of which reached its highest position in the UK singles charts at number two.
