Noel Duggan, one of the founding members of the Irish folk band Clannad, has died.
The group said it was “heartbroken” by the news, which it shared on its Twitter account.
The 73-year-old “died suddenly in Donegal” on Saturday evening, according to the tweet.
Clannad was formed in 1970 in Gweedore, County Donegal by siblings Ciarán, Pól and Moya Brennan and their uncles Noel and Padraig.
“Noel will be forever remembered for his outstanding guitar solos, his love of music and his dedication to the band,” said the statement from Clannad.
