Kian Egan sings with Westlife at dad's funeral

Irish star's father loses battle with cancer

Monday, 27 July 2009

Kian Egan fought back tears to sing with his bandmates at his dad's funeral.

The father-of-seven lost his battle with cancer at the family home in Ireland on 19 July.

Westlife paid a moving tribute to Kevin Egan by belting out You Raise Me Up at the service.

‘Myself and the guys would like to sing this song for my dad,’ Kian told the congregation.

‘I feel the words of this song really represent the type of man my father was.’

Westlife manager Louis Walsh was among the mourners at the service at Sligo Cathedral on Tuesday.
