Ronan Keating has broke his silence on the death of his brother, as he made his return to the stage on Sunday.
The singer’s older brother Ciaran was en route to his son Ruari’s football match earlier this month, when he was tragically killed in a two-vehicle collision on the N5 at Ballymiles.
His wife Annemarie, the driver of the other car, and the passenger were all treated for injuries in hospital – while Ciaran was pronounced dead at the scene.
Ronan, who sang at his brother’s funeral earlier this month, performed at Uptown Festival at Blackheath Common in London on Sunday.
He wore a blue-grey suit and a pair of dark sunglasses, as he sang and played guitar for the crowd.
Speaking on stage, the Boyzone star told fans: “I didn’t know if I was going to be here tonight or not.”
“It’s been quite a time for our family, so thank you so much for giving me this moment. We’ll get through this together.”
It comes after Ronan star performed an emotional song at his brother’s funeral.
Ciaran’s funeral took place at St Patrick’s Church in Louisburgh, Co. Mayo on July 20.
During the funeral mass, Ronan performed his song ‘This Is Your Song’, which was written after the death of their mother Marie in 1998.
The Boyzone star said: “I shouldn’t be singing it in these circumstances, but we are and we will.”
He added that his brother’s children had made their dad “very proud”.
