Christy Dignam tells RyanTubridyShow about asking for ten more years, his thoughts on his funeral and his daughter Kiera continuing his legacy
The Aslan lead singer sat down on the Ryan Tubridy Show to speak about his mortality and the 10-year illness that now has him at home in palliative care for cancer.
“I remember saying my prayers, and saying I just want ten more years. Now that it’s ten years I just want to ask for ten more,” he said. There’s no feeling on earth like somebody’s singing your songs back to you. When we’re doing a gig, I break the song down and get the audience to sing, that feeling is amazing, you know. Dignam said he would like his daughter Kiera to carry on his legacy, his love for Celtic and of course his music.
