THE SCRIPT’s Danny O’Donoghue is questioning the band’s decision to stay together following the death of guitarist Mark Sheehan. The group , which also features drummer Glen Power, will on Friday release Satellites, their first album without guitarist Mark, who died last year. Asked if there was a conversation about ending the band, Danny said: “We talked about it for a long time and to be honest, it’s still an open question.
"Myself and Glen, we sat down and had a good chat about it and we were like, well, I feel like he’d want us to finish what we started. “Selfishly, I think I could ride off into the sunset easily. I think Glen could do the same thing right now.
"We’ve achieved everything we need to do in our lives musically, professionally, monetarily. "I think it kind of came down to the question, why are we doing this? And the answer to that is because we love music.” But he also revealed Mark’s family, including his wife Rina and three children, will continue to profit from the band, which is another driving force in them staying together.
Danny added on the Smallzy’s Surgery podcast: “I still feel if we stopped today, I’d be all right, personally. "But I still feel like monetarily, Mark is always part of the band. “His family benefits from everything we do moving forwards and I feel it’s the right thing to do.
