The Script's Danny O'Donoghue admits he 'went off the rails and turned to drinking, smoking... everything' after the shock death of his bandmate Mark Sheehan
Lead guitarist Mark - who formed the band with Danny and drummer Glen Power in 2001 - passed away in hospital on April 14 last year from an undisclosed illness.
His friend of 30 years and The Script's lead singer Danny, 43, appeared on Lorraine on Wednesday, where he spoke about dealing with Mark's death. But after a heavy drinking session in his native Ireland over Christmas, the singer decided to cut out alcohol and 'face the grief stone cold sober'. As a result of his sobriety, Danny moved past a writers' block he had been experiencing and started writing new music, with a The Script album set to be released in August.
