Boyzone star Keith Duffy has paid tribute to the late brother of Ronan Keating.
Ciaran Keating, who was in his 50s, died in a car crash in Co Mayo at the weekend.
Duffy wrote on Instagram, "I can't comprehend the loss and devastation of my brother @rokeating and all the Keating family. All my family are praying and thinking of our Keating family right now.
"Ciaran from the early days you toured with us you were a great guide on our journey in the early days.
"You helped and supported us young innocent kids.
"Take your place in heaven buddy with your Mam Marie."
The Marie Keating Foundation, the cancer charity founded by the Keating family in 2001, several years after the death of mother Marie, also shared their condolences.
They tweeted: "The whole team and Board of the Marie Keating Foundation are devastated to learn of the tragic death of Ciaran Keating.
"Together with his family, Ciaran established the Foundation following the death of his mother Marie to breast cancer 25 years ago.
"Ciaran was such a great supporter of our work and often acted as relief driver of our Mobile Information Unit in the West when time allowed. He joined us recently to celebrate 25 years of the Foundation at our annual celebrity golf classic in the K-Club."
The charity finished the post by offering their condolences to all the Keating family.
The fatal two-car collision happened on the N5 at Ballymiles, near Swinford, at approximately 3.35pm on Saturday, as Mr Keating and his wife Annemarie were travelling to see their son Ruairi play for Cork City Football Club in Sligo.
Mrs Keating, as well as the driver and passenger who were travelling in the other car, received treatment for injuries that are understood to be non-life threatening.
