Front man Danny O'Donoghue and drummer Glen Power have continued to perform since Sheehan's passing, saying on social media that Sheehan would have wanted them to keep going. In recent weeks, they have supported Pink on the UK leg of her world tour.
The Script was formed in Dublin in 2001 and they've sold over 20 million albums, scoring huge hits with the likes of The Man Who Can't Be Moved, For The First Time, We Cry and Hall of Fame.
