Ireland’s president has led tributes to Mark Sheehan of Irish rock band The Script after the guitarist’s death at age 46. The band said Sheehan died in a hospital on Friday after a brief illness. In a statement, The Script called him a “much loved husband, father, brother, band mate and friend.” Formed in Dublin in 2001, The Script topped U.K. and Irish charts with its self-titled debut album in 2008. It included the hits “We Cry,” “Breakeven” and “The Man Who Can’t Be Moved.” The band’s pop-inflected rock sound made it one of Ireland’s biggest bands in the 2010s. Irish President Michael D. Higgins praised the band’s “originality and excellence.”
