Best of luck to the band in dealing with this. Mental and physical health trumps any gig commitments. We know that Dara Kiely has been open about his mental health in the recording of the band’s debut Holding Hands With Jamie telling of how he coped with depression and dealt with erratic behaviour.
Health is wealth. Send good vibes Girl Band’s way.
