Bittersweet night for fans of The Script as the band pays tribute to Mark Sheehan in Wolverhampton gig
It was an emotional night for Irish rock band The Script and their fans on Monday, as the band performed in Wolverhampton after the death of their lead guitarist, Mark Sheehan.
The band took to the stage at the newly reopened The Halls in the city centre, previously called the Civic Halls, for one of their first concerts since Sheehan's death in April.
Fans of the band turned up in force to support Danny O'Donoghue and Glen Power, including super-fans Susan Townshend, Chrissy Mcgrory, Jenn Gibbs, Chelsea McDade and Niah McDade.
Susan Townshend organised a wall of condolences for people to sign in memory of Sheehan, with comments including "those who touch our lives stay in our hearts forever", "thank you for all the memories and kindness", and "the world is a lot emptier without you in it".
Susan, aged 52, travelled four hours from her home in Hastings to watch the band play, and told the Express & Star: "It's a difficult one to put into words, even though none of us knew him, we feel like we know him.
