“I’ve been writing this for 10 years but we got used to my Da giving us false alarms and going against every rule in the history of medical science... So I didn’t think I was ever actually going to have to finish it.'
Christy’s family confirmed the sad news of his passing last week, after a long battle with cancer.
She admitted that although she had been writing her dad's eulogy for 10 years, she "never thought she would have to finish it". "And although it will be tough for a while to listen to his music or watch a video, we are privileged to have them forever.” “The first time he heard me singing was the first time I heard him singing a song that wasn’t his own.
“The girl running the karaoke came over after and was saying ‘my God you’re amazing you should be a singer’. He just said ‘ah thank you’. We said nothing.” Kiera also said Christy knew this day was coming and had discussed his final wishes with his family."Thousands of fans gathered for a final ‘Crazy World’ serenade as the singer was laid to rest. A crowd at Erin Isle GAA Club gathered to sing Aslan’s famous song ‘Crazy World’.Christy’s family posted a statement to RIP.
"Christy’s songs and voice provided the backdrop to successive generations enraptured by his lyrics, his passion, and his stage presence."
