The bandmates of late Aslan frontman Christy Dignam have confirmed that a new singer will be joining the group, but added they are “in no way a replacement for Christy”.

Dignam died in June after a long battle with cancer and his family has organised a tribute gig in his memory. Aslan will not be among the lineup.
