The singer spoke to Ryan Tubridy on RTÉ Radio 1 earlier this year about the highs and lows of his life.
He told Tubridy that he asked for 10 more years when he was first diagnosed, but he wanted more time.
He said his cancer diagnosis has helped him see what is important in life.
Dignam said spending time with his family has been his main priority.
"I’m happy and I get very sad and I get very scared. You know the thing about this diagnosis, anybody with cancer actually, that’s why I used to love listening to Vicki Phelan because when you do get into a particular emotion, you get into it.
He continued: "You don’t do it by halves, do you know what I mean? Because everything is so serious."
"There’s no, there’s no time for bullshit," he said.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends, fans and bandmates at this sad time.
