The Script were founded in Dublin in 2001 with Sheehan on guitar, his childhood friend Danny O’Donoghue as the lead singer, and Glen Power on drums.
Last year, Sheehan missed the US leg of the group’s tour, with The Script’s frontman Danny O’Donoghue told explaining to the Sunday World that Sheehan’s absence was due to family commitments.
Sheehan was a father-of-three. He spent most of his time in the US with his American wife Rina. The pair were married for more than 20 years.
