It is stated that he had a ‘brief illness,’ so, the musician’s cause of death is not clear.
When is his funeral?
Mark’s death was sudden, and his cause of death is stated as a ‘brief illness.’
And his family members have asked fans to respect their privacy.
An anonymous mentions that the family is planning final funeral arrangement, but the tip seems fake.
So, when is Mark Sheehan’s funeral, is a no-go question.
Rodney Alejandro, fellow musician, also took it to his Instagram and shared his condolence:
“Sadden by the sudden loss of a friend, band mate and musican who dreamed big and lived those dreams! Gone too soon and you will be missed. Lifting up you and your family in prayers!!”
Missed out on US tour
Sheehan missed out on the band’s America leg of The Script’s most recent tour. The lead singer, Danny O’Donoghue, informed Sunday World that he was spending time with his family, and it was down to family commitments. He said:
“It’s his story to tell, but yeah, I guess if I could paraphrase, his children needed a father and his wife needed a husband.”
“He’s been the engine of The Script for such a long time, [I told him] that ‘if you want to take a bit of time out for your family you are more than welcome to, and I insist on you going and doing it.'”
