Legendary folk singer Ronnie Drew has died at the age of 73, after a lengthy
illness.
It is understood the founding member of the Dubliners passed away this
afternoon at St Vincent's hospital in Dublin.
Born in Dublin in September 1934, Ronnie Drew founded the group that would
later be known as The Dubliners in 1962 and he also went on to pursue a solo
career from 1995.
He recorded with many artists including Christy Moore and The Pogues, and in
August 2006 his handprints were added outside the Gaiety Theatre in Dublin.
Two years ago, it emerged Ronnie Drew was undergoing treatment for cancer.
As his health declined, a number of famous Irish musicians released a song
called "The Ballad of Ronnie Drew" as a tribute to him.
His wife Deirdre died last year. He is survived by his two children and five
grandchildren
