Snow Patrol star Gary Lightbody has said he felt broken by the death of his father Jack and that writing about it was cathartic.
Lightbody’s father, who had dementia, died in a nursing home in December 2019.
He said he was “numb for a year” following his father’s death, but hopes the book will help other people who are grieving.
“I wasn’t writing it thinking people were ever going to read it, I was writing it for myself,” he told BBC News NI.
The frontman, whose hits include Chasing Cars and Run, was speaking ahead of the release of his book, The Forest is the Path.
