The Very sad news is that one of Irelands most loved and enduring performers has died today 26th December 2007.. Joe had been in bad health recently and we were all praying for his recovery, sadly this was not to be and all my thoughts are with his family, and friends at this very sad time.. R.

That's awfully sad. He was only 64. Think he fell ill suddenly too only about ten days ago, which was most cruel.

Just heard it announced on RTÉ 2FM. Joe died of a brain haemorrhage in the Mater hospital, Dublin, this afternoon. Very sad story. May he rest in peace.

Here's a source, if people still want one:
http://www.breakingnews.ie/entertainment/mheycwaukfoj/

His Wikipedia page has also been updated:

Frankly, people do that kind of thing all the time. So, most people here will be sitting on the cynic fence untill a valid source is linked.

Thanks Bard for the Confirmation..

This is a very sad Ending to a Man that provided such great entertainment in Ireland for such a long time, whatever your taste in music, you have to admire the likes of Joe dolan and Dickie Rock and Many More that Gig non stop and have Survived this Music Business over 40 years when other people have come and Gone.
Much Love Joe, See you on the other side
Peace

There'll be no funeral like a Joe funeral, to paraphrase the byline on his posters.

He entertained generations of Irish people. He will be missed.

Heard in a phone call, thought she was joking. Shocked to read the text on RTE. RIP Joe Many a time I was at the front of the stage when he belted out all his hits. Can Boards put up a 'board of condolence' or is this it?
