Imelda May has paid a heartfelt tribute to Ardara publican Stephen McCahill.
The father of two (66) died following an assault in the early hours of Monday morning.
Taking to her own social media, Imelda wrote: “Heartbroken to hear of the tragic and sudden death of the very special Stephen McCahill, owner of the wonderful @cornerhousebar_ardara and the glue to a whole community of Ardara.
“He was a great friend to my brother Brendan and sister-in-law Josephine as he was to so many.
“I was happy to see him again just Sat night (when we took this picture at the door), where he encouraged live music and joy and had his big smile and hugs ready as the night went along. Even offering people a lift home.
“I’m putting this post up not just as a thank you to him but so people can send messages so his family can see all the love being sent their way at this awful time.
“Much love to his family, friends, all of Ardara and wider Donegal community and all who’ll miss him. Imelda XXX.”
