Musical artist
Mark Anthony Sheehan (29 October 1976 – 14 April 2023) was an Irish musician. From 1996 to 2001, he was a member of the boy band Mytown .[2] In 2001, he co-founded alternative rock band the Script .[3] [4] He played lead guitar for the band.[5]
Early life [ edit ]
Sheehan was born in Mount Brown in The Liberties area of Dublin to Rachel and Gerald Sheehan.[6] His father died when Sheehan was 14.[7]
Sheehan began his career as a dancer. He taught hip-hop moves at Dublin's Digges Lane performing arts centre.[citation needed ]
Sheehan was best friends with Danny O'Donoghue since the age of 12.[8] [9] Sheehan and O'Donoghue were members of a boy band called Mytown , which was formed in 1996. Striking up a songwriting and production partnership, they were invited to Canada to collaborate with some of their heroes.[10] Both Sheehan and O'Donoghue were involved in the production of two tracks featured on the Peter André album The Long Road Back under the name M.A.D Notes[11] before pursuing their own careers as musicians.[10] They worked as producers in Los Angeles [9] before moving back to Dublin, where they recruited drummer Glen Power to join their new band the Script. The band was formed in 2001 in Dublin .[3] [4]
The Script released their debut single "We Cry " on 25 April 2008.[12] The single peaked at number 15 on the UK Singles Chart .[13] The Script's eponymous debut album was released on 8 August 2008.[14] The album debuted at the number one spot on the UK's album charts.[15] The album also entered the Irish Albums Chart at number one, holding the top spot for five weeks.[16]
The band's second single, "The Man Who Can't Be Moved ", was released on 15 September 2008.[17] The single reached number 2 in Ireland, Denmark, and the UK.[18] The band's single "Breakeven " was released in the United States in September 2009. It reached number one on Billboard's Adult Pop chart.[19]
The Script's next three albums, Science & Faith (2010), #3 (2012) and No Sound Without Silence (2014), all topped the album charts in Ireland and the UK, while Science & Faith reached number two in Australia[20] and number three in the United States.[21] [22]
As of 2019, the band had won three Meteor Ireland Music Awards and two World Music Awards , had received two Brit Award nominations, and had sold over 20 million albums worldwide.[23]
The band toured in 2022. Sheehan missed the U.S. leg of the tour. Danny O'Donoghue later attributed Sheehan's absence to family commitments.[24]
Personal life and death [ edit ]
Sheehan was married to Rina Sheehan. They wed in 2005 and had three children.[6] [25]
Sheehan died in hospital on 14 April 2023 at the age of 46 following a brief, undisclosed illness.[26] [27] [28]
