Iconic musician Tony MacMahon is planning his assisted suicide

Iconic accordion player Tony MacMahon said he is planning his assisted suicide will have “a whale of a time” attending his own wake.

The 77-year-old announced in 2014 that he was unable to perform live any longer due to a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease. However, speaking to Liveline yesterday, he revealed that after a battery of further tests, this diagnosis was incorrect and he was now in much better health.

Currently in India working on a memoir of his life, Mr MacMahon said he was planning an assisted suicide, surrounded by friends, family, and relatives.
