We're still processing the news that one of the great Irish rockers, Aslan's Christy Dignam, has passed away aged 63, leaving behind a formidable musical legacy that will live on, and on.
The most appropriate way, then, to remember the man is through his music. Make no mistake, the Finglas legend was a great songwriter and one hell of a singer.
An early Aslan classic, This Is remained one of the band's most defiant statements - here they are giving it socks, with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra in tow:
His Late Late Show appearances in recent years became the stuff of legend, not least because of his ability to wow the audience an impromptu show-stopper:
Here's Christy talking to Ryan Tubridy on the mental impact of his cancer diagnosis, and his first experience with heroin:
Then there's the stunning duet with Finbar Furey that went viral online - 17M views and counting.
Just in case there's a dry eye left in the house, cue his take on another beloved standard, Eric Bolgle's The Band Played Waltzing Matilda:
The last word, as it should, goes to the great man himself. Here's Christy offering his thoughts on dying. Our condolences go to his family. His songs will be sung for generations to come.
