Daniel O'Donnell celebrates wife Majella's 65th birthday and welcomes fourth grandchild

‘Times Change’ was recorded for Alzheimer’s Tea Day on May 1 in memory of his mother-in-law and everyone who has the condition, the singer tells Helen O’Callaghan

Daniel O'Donnell: “I’ve first-hand experience of dementia. I’ve met and known a lot of people who’ve suffered from it and from Alzheimer’s. And there’s great sadness; you almost lose the person who you knew for so many years. It’s like a new personality has invaded their body or mind."

Daniel O'Donnell pulled out all the stops for his wife Majella’s 65th birthday recently, proving their love is still as fresh as it was in 1999.

Sharing a snap of Majella next to a heart-shaped flower display to social media, the country music singer posted: “Getting ready to celebrate Majella’s birthday tomorrow.” O’Donnell has always been a family man, a stepfather to Majella’s children Siobhan and Michael, who have been in his life since they were 11 and nine, and now a grandfather to four.
