Aslan has confirmed that they will continue to perform as a band next year with a new lead singer.
Their frontman Christy Dignam died on 13 June after a long illness.
A concert in celebration of his life was announced today, with the band posting on their social media accounts that they would not be involved in this concert and will continue to perform with a new lead singer, who will be announced "soon."
The statement read that the band has "spent the last number of months grieving the loss of their dear friend and band mate" and they "continue to try to find their own way of coming to terms with their huge loss."
It continued, "They have decided, after a lot of thought and consideration, to continue with Aslan, playing their music and performing for their loyal and loving fans."
"Through this they hope to do Christy proud. After sharing the same stage with him for over four decades things will never be the same without him by their side."
The statement went on to say, "They have decided to embark on a new chapter and to mark that, there will be a new singer joining them.
"In no way are they a replacement for Christy as this is absolutely impossible, there will never be another Christy Dignam."
"New singer will be announced soon," it read. "The lads want to get back to doing what they love most, playing their music."
The band said that they would "be back in 2024 and we know Christy would be so proud to hear and see what's to come" and "are so looking forward to seeing all their loyal fans again".
