On Saturday night The Script played to their largest ever Irish crowd in GAA Mecca Croke Park.
It was the biggest night of their career in their hometown of Dublin, and the tragedy that rocked Ireland was not far from the minds of the band members.
Taking to the microphone between songs, Mark Sheehan said:
“Ireland lost six of its sons and daughters during the week in California to a terrible tragedy and it broke our fucking hearts.
“We would like to dedicate this next song – I know it’s not a lot but we wrote this song for our own grievances – but we’d like to dedicate this next song to their families. Please sing along with us, thank you.”
The band went on to play If You Could See Me Now in tribute to the young men and women lost and injured and the families going through this ordeal with them.
Lead singer of The Script Danny O’Donoghue attended St Mary’s College, where both Eoghan Culligan and Niccolai Schuster, who lost their lives in the tragic accident, also went to school.
